Across 5 full Armada's. 2 Fed and 3 KDF
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

That pretty much sums up the current state of my own armada.
But we have a pretty active primary fleet and everyone helps direct resources to the secondary fleets as required. We have no issues with the armada system.
0.2% of members or 0.38 players per fleet currently in-game.
Ah think I found it. 2/1,239 members presently offline. The other player is in my fleet but I rarely see him and he doesn't talk.

Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Look at the armada list and click the roster tab. It shows who is online for each fleet.
Maybe but I got what I need and that is all that matters.
The other beta and gammas seem to be one guy's solo alt fleets. Never see him on but he keeps projects queued up. Kind of annoying when we have an active small fleet that could use a little help finishing up our tier 4 starbase but this guy's four solo fleets are competing for the love from the big fleet. Doesn't help that he's shuffled his fleets around a couple times to change his bonuses without the alpha warning that it was coming and ended up messing up the project dilithium prices for a few days.
No really sure how much longer my folks are willing to put up with it. Maybe once we hit level 35 and can bring a percentage point bonus with us to an armada we'll see if anyone else wants us.
What did you get?
Easier said than done. I do agree about the communications as it's often lacking, but as for the rest of things somehow they just aren't the same.
Been in an armada with a some of the oldest fleets in the game that would recruit 50 players per fleet per day and coordinate things together. One of the newer fleets that is part of the numbers I posted above recruits over 100 people per week. Less than 10% remain regular players. Going by previous standards I would characterize said fleets as less active than my own just a few years ago (out of less than 300 members over a dozen on voice alone most days as well as many other players).
Officers in both my fed and kdf fleets are leaders of other fleets and visa versa, the former officers don't play STO anymore nor are there any potential candidates on the horizon.
Any new players gets all the help they want, even exchange or crafted gear for their toon in their mail or from the bank. The vast majority of items for holdings projects that folks would rather not donate are taken care of. Advice and runs are always offered. I guess you could offer members a stipend (j/k).
STO is becoming a very casual game. I think many log on now for FE's and certain major seasonal events. For those that are doing amazing things for their fleet and have their attendance humming along I salute you. After many years of doing this I'm taking a more a more pragmatic view as I really think I couldn't do or have done much more.
On a positive note there must be something very special about STO for it to have held many players attention for years. It still has mine
Nah, you aren't doing bad. 4616 Since January 2010 (averages out to a little over an hour and fifteen minutes a day). I started in Beta, bought lifetime as soon as it was available and bought zen at a rate of about $200 a year ever since. This coming year will be expensive though. Finally making the last push to T5/3/3/3... on starbase. Dang sure I'm not going to be grinding dilithium for anything other than the daily projects. Big upgrades are coming out of the checking account. 2.9 million dil this week alone.
Being retired helps.
My buddy and I decided to create our own fleet of 2 back before there were holding. We are still a fleet of 2 with alts. We have a Level 65 fleet and are in a gamma position in the armada.
I do not need active players. Fed Alliance Fleet is active separate from my division.
Ahh, so not active?
For my fleet, both of us are active. As for as the armada is concerned they have a program where you donate to your own division first and then focus on the fleet of the week. When I look at the Leaderboard for just the starbase alone there are over a hundred unique @handles that have never been apart of my fleet. When it comes time for the weekend giveaway on vent I have seen quite a few people. Every week each division send out a weekly new letter with promotions if there are any.
I logged into another toon that is in the main fleet and exported the roster to Excel. I sorted by Last active and there were 118 toons/92 Unique @handles That have logged in this month.
They also have a Unique channel to avoid the KDF Fed fleet issue.
They are very active. I'm the only rouge division that wanted to build our own 2 man base. For the challenge
All fleets in the armada have the same structure. Alts are spread out across all fleets in the armada. The group that organizes the fleets are the same in all fleets. That group also ensures that a persons promotion is reflected across all fleets and maintains the structure across the board. Each fleet has its own captain that takes care of its day to day operations.
My fleet is the only fleet in the armada without that structure or leadership. I am my own fleet leader. I am independent. They cannot change anything in my fleet.
Wow.
We're a large, old, lvl 67 KDF Fleet, filled with vet players. A couple of our Armada Fleets are faction specific, created so we can park our Alts & earn FCs. But the others? The lights are on, but rarely anybody home.
Again, just my opinion.
The two of us wanted to have a long term project to do as a sideline...in case of content droughts. It has kept us focused on "something" in the game.
We joined the Armada for the discounts. I didn't expect getting any help at all...as a matter of fact, I was pretty certain that no one would give away anything but Fleet Marks.
Truth be told, I told him to block all Fleet Mark donations from the Armada, so they would HAVE to "donate" something else. He basically told me to shut up and NO. LOL!
And the rule my Fleet mate gave me was to leave Fleet Marks and Experience requirements for him or for the Armada in case someone needed Fleet Credits. Otherwise, I would have filled everything myself.
Although, now we are at Tier 4 of the Main Starbase....and closing in on Tier 3 Upgrades at the K-13 Starbase and the hold up IS the Fleet Marks.
So, it makes me wonder: are there people who still want, or need, Fleet Credits "out there" any more? And I don't just mean in my Armada....I mean, anywhere?
And is what sort of picture does that paint of the over all health of STO fleets?
