Greetings, Dran Lore
We are most pleased to have you join our ranks. You are hereby accepted into the Beta Squad of our Combat Division, and given a rank of Ensign.
Welcome aboard!
Just some housekeeping items:
1) You can download your avatar under 'profile' and then 'avatar'. Look in the gallery. Your avatar is the red one with the single gold pip. You can copy this into your STO forum avatar too.
2) Because STO has not launched yet, promotions in rank will be based on activity on the STO forums, activity in recruting, and activity here on our forums. We like to keep our STO forum thread bumped to the first page to maintain visibility, so posting there will be helpful. Here's the link.
http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=256383) We have an RP (role-playing) forum, but this is strictly optional.
4) There is an "introductions" thread in the "Fleet Tactics" forum (which you should have access to as soon as I add you to the group). Tell us a little about yourself, as much as you like, but at least let us know what time zone you are in.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Once again, welcome!
