Please Post Your Application to Join the Fleet!

We can always use another dingbat to make me look good Welcome to the fleet!

1) I'm generally on from 16:00 GMT until midnight on a daily basis. Won't be around tomorrow, but will be on pretty much all day saturday (once recovered from hangover incurred at said absence tomorrow) and sunday. I know you asked for specific times but I'm a slippery one and pinning me down can be tricky...

2) I decided I enjoyed the game and wanted to find a fleet. Looked through the fleet recruitment page in game and jotted down several possibilities. Checked your website, and didn't bother with the others. The site, interview process etc all reminded me of my Org in AO, which was also a RP based group, and was the most fun I've had in a MMO.

3) not at the moment, but I expect I'll have a lot of questions in the future if I get accepted.

Okay I won't be around Friday or Saturday. However I may be around late Sunday and early morning Monday. I will alert some of the other members to keep an eye out for you. If that dosen't work we can schedule a time Tues through Thursday.

Thats good to hear! I'm glad that you found what you were looking for when you got here.

Keep flying!

You probably won't so much have questions as you'll just sorta tilt your head to the side and go "What?" at fleet chat sometimes.

Hope to see ya around!

Good day to you, I am Captain Shelton of the U.S.S. Makarov, formally requesting to join the Firefly Fleet and serve aboard Serenity Station.

In Game Name: Lainey@mydriel

Name: <Removed>

The U.S.S. Makarov is actually a Thunderchild refit of the Akira Class and has been fitted with the latest in Starfleet technology.

Skills you bring to fleet: Flexibility is the skill I bring to the table. Though I am good at combat I can fill almost any role as a Starfleet officer.

Position you might like to fill: Any and all as needed by Firefly Fleet and Serenity Station

Other gaming exp: My gaming experience dates back to the Commodore 64 era with text base games like Zork and Pirates Cove so I’ll keep it brief by only listing Star Trek and MMO games. The only Star Trek game I liked before this one was Star Trek Bridge Commander though I am an avid Star Trek fan. MMO games that I have played have been Earth and Beyond, Anarchy Online, Dungeon and Dragons, Star Wars, City of Heroes and World of Warcraft.

-------Service Record: Captain Lainey Maya Shelton----------

General Biography:

Captain Lainey Maya Shelton was born March 21, 2384 aboard the Starship U.S.S. Makarov NCC-91042 to parents Commander John Wesley Shelton and civilian diplomat Maya Rizza. Maya Rizza died while giving birth to Lainey Maya Shelton; as such she was raised primarily aboard the U.S.S. Makarov by her father who was serving as first officer aboard the ship. When Lainey turned 7 years old her father became Captain of the U.S.S. Makarov.

“I’d like to think my father raised me the best he could being a single father and the captain of a starship, but in truth he didn’t raise me by myself. The entire crew of the Makarov had a hand in raising me.” – Captain Lainey Shelton

When Lainey became old enough she joined Starfleet Academy and graduated top of her class. That’s also where she met her best friend and current first officer Commander R’shee Pern an Andorian female and an exceptional tactical officer. Upon graduating from Starfleet Academy Ensign Shelton was assigned aboard the Miranda Class starship the U.S.S. Saiga as the chief tactical officer and shortly thereafter she became first officer of the Saiga.

When the Borg attacked the Vega Colony the U.S.S. Saiga was sent to aid the U.S.S. Khitomer. During the battle the Captain of the Saiga was killed and Ensign Shelton assumed command of the starship U.S.S. Saiga. After the battle with the Borg at Vega Colony, Lainey Shelton was promoted to Lieutenant and given command of the U.S.S. Saiga and she promoted the chief tactical officer Ensign R’shee Pern to first officer.

After completing several missions as Captain of U.S.S. Saiga and having a outstanding service record Lainey Shelton was promoted to Lt. Commander and given command of the very ship she was born and raised on and the ship her father use to Captain, the Excalibur Class starship U.S.S. Makarov NCC-91042.

After completing a classified mission involving a planet that was quarantined 140 years ago, the U.S.S. Makarov was damaged beyond repair. Lainey Shelton was promoted to Commander and given command of a new Akira Class ship. Admiral Quinn, being closed friends with Lainey’s father former Starfleet Captain John Wesley Shelton decided to have the new ship named the U.S.S. Makarov NCC-91042-A. The ship is an Akira Class ship with the Thunderchild refit that has a special defense system turret installed. The U.S.S. Makarov NCC-91042-A is currently under command of Captain Lainey Maya Shelton.

OOC: I’m from southeast Texas. I’m a maintenance supervisor and a techno and sci-fi geek. I love playing guitar and had a full music scholarship to attend college when I was younger. I male, though I play a female character that is named after my two daughters, Lainey and Maya. I usually only play at night mostly on the weekends, but sometimes during the week. I live in a small house where sound travels so I don’t use any kind of communication software. Don’t want to wake the kids. I love sci-fi to list a few: Star Trek all series and movies, Star Wars, Stargate, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Supernatural, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Heroes… well the first season anyways and of course Firefly. That’s just a small sample of the sci-fi shows that I love.

Greetings Lainey! And welcome to Serenity station and Firefly fleet! I am Nathan "Lastline" Merano and I am the stations CAG. I saw you poking around on the website and i'm glad you finally stepped forward to enlist! You are joing one of the older fleets on STO. We like Firefly itself have had our ups and downs and are still standing to tell the tale. Our leaders are commited and active and our memberbase strong. We recently became a multi-game fleet by extending ourselves to The Old Republic. And a hot topic of debate is what to call ourselves when we invade Firefly Universe Online when it drops later this year.

Soon our intellegence officer will set you up with an interview. Until that happens I have some questions for you.
1.What Would be a good time to meet with you in game?
(I saw you said nights but if you could give me a specific time it would be much apprceiated)
2. How did you hear about us?
3. Do you have an questions that I can answer for you at this time?
Agian welcome i'm glad you found us, and hope to see you around the black soon!
-Keep Flying,
Lastline

I'll be on tonight at 10PM central time. If this doesn't work for you just let me know and I can try to be on at another time. I saw a couple of your members flying around one day online, I don't remember who, but I look the up online and liked what I saw and decided to sign up. I have only been playing Star Trek Online for about a month now so I'm still learning. Also, my computer is old and barley meets the requirements to play, but I'm planning on building a new one by this summer. The only question I have is, is there a an actually fleet station or base in the game? I'm assuming their is since most other MMO guilds have bases and I'm assuming it's called Serenity. Well, that's all the question I have, just let me know when we can meet up in the game and what you need me to do if I am accepted into the fleet.

i know the game developers are taking about putting that in the game and when it happens we going to jump on int but right now that is not part of STO, i may be on tonght i'll look for you if i'm i'm on most night but i have a freind in from out of town coming today and going to be spending alot of time with her the next few days

nice to meet you in the game look how old are your daughter?

So nearly three years ago, I posted the following...

https://serenitystation.forumotion.com/t1p250-old-submit-fleet-applications-here-thread#9476

I was around for a while after that, but as I often do, I cycled off to other games. But, as I have a Lifetime sub, I do keep coming back to STO and have realized, it'd be nice to have a Fleet to come back to when I do... So...

As the powers given to me as a Lieutenant of Firefly Fleet, I hereby welcome you back and..errr..that's pretty much what my rank allows me to do. At least I think I'm allowed to say welcome back. How about my promotion and an office with a door? I mean, this desk is nice and I got a sign on it and stuff.. Granted, I made the sign my self, but I was told that I could move out of the transporter room and have a proper office, provided I supplied the door-sign myself.

Anyways, welcome back!

Well, that's... something... at least.

"You can't take the siiiign from me!"

Hello Sevok! Welcome back to the loving arms of Firefly fleet! The game has changed quite a bit. We have a new vent server and have expanded into TOR. Are you still in the fleet on STO? And questions you have, or anything I can clear up for you? Great to have you back! Hope to see you around the black!

No, I'm not still fleet'ed - it's been a LONG time.

I do play SWTOR as well, but mainly as a single-player story experience. (It's really, really good for that.)

I don't really have many questions - I'll poke around the official forums and see what's what. I recently hit Rear Admiral, Upper Half, but really need to gear up my ship (after I decide on a wessel, anyway).

Okay no problem I will pop in game and shoot you an invite and the next time you log in you will get it. I agree about TOR but if you want a guild to join let me know! As far as gear goes you may want to run a bunch of STFs and get the borg set, of course you will need to run on addtional mission to complete the set but we can talk about that later. Or run the 2800 (the last bunch of missions in the cardassian struggle) to get the dominion set. You would need to run several missions few times to get everything but it is a nice set. OR if you REALLY feel like grinding there is the reman set where you would need to run the vault event a bunch of times to get the full set. However you can only run the vault event at certian times of the day so competing the set can be difficult.

Welcome back i think i may have jioned after you left but always nice to have old brown coat come back to keep the coat brown...maybe that only made sense in my head but we don't want o clean dirt off the coat.

look forward to seeing you around

Welcome Mydriel and welcome back Sevok! I'm fairly new here, meself.

Lieutenant Lightfoot glares from his desk located on a transporter pad.. "At least you got your desk moved off the pad"... his voice trails off as he dematerializes to some random location.

Welcome back.

Oh, I'd forgotten... I'm actually VA (50). Woot.

Huh - I never did get that invite...

I sent it to Sevok@Sevok.

Hmm - when? May have been done after the last time I was on.

Does it popup a message on login, or do I have to pull up Social panel or something to find it?

I just checked It says I can't invite you because you have an invite pending. When you log in there should be a popup, if that dose not work one of us will have to get with you personally to physically click on you and invite you.

Got it this time - I'm all set, thanks!
