Best Of

The conversation was about what one admiral would like the game makers to do. Some people have changed that conversation into attacks on the admiral. Could the incident be handled multiple ways? Yes. Some admirals and would-be admirals seem to prefer a less merciful initial response to the problem. I'm not sure what would be best. Nor do I particularly care. But the original conversation is all about giving more flexibility to the admirals. It is not a conversation on if the admiral is right or wrong. I suspect that most admirals and would-be admirals, regardless of how they would handle the situation, would benefit from more flexibility in control of their fleets.

So let's address the issue of if more flexibility is good as a general principle and leave aside the attacks on an admiral and long-term participant of the forums. I think it appropriate to say you would handle it differently, but the real question is if more tools for admirals would be good. After all, there may be other situations where those tools would help you.

And there is no cause to be so mean about it.

So who‘s fault is it, that u havn t kicked the player waaaay waaaay earlier? Sorry mate, thats 100% on you.

And the poor fleet managment options will NEVER change(i and other asked even DB back then years ago and WRG as well, it’s hopeless)so just deal with it properly.

Your „rant“ will change nothing.

After reading the rant again, to me it seems like @Bylo Band is just firing way above their station. There is no way that any reasonable admiral in that situation would allow it to go on for so long. Maybe it would be a good idea for them to consider stepping down into a “vice admiral” role and let someone else do the dirty work.


The “story” should have gone something like:

We had a rogue captain in our fleet who made a squad without asking and wouldnt stand down. So i booted them. The end.

100% correct. Time for Bylo Band to retire as admiral if he can't manage this scenario where any reasonably competent admiral would have handled it in about two minutes.

Noticing the two people condemning @Bylo Band the most are doing it from "guest" accounts. Wondering why that is 🤔

Unless your full legal name is "IceCat" you don't have a leg to stand on either, sport. 🤔

You bring up good points, @Bylo Band

I hope the game makers give you what you need.

They won t.

It may well be going up in 50s from this point on, to cut down on the number of achievements.

“Greetings Captain. LLAP” is about the best you’re going to get.

Agreed. I hate to say it, but the game has long past the time where they might actually fix things or make changes unless there is some way to monetize it. Chat -nope. UI - nope. Fleet management - nope. And on and on and on.....
STT is living week to week, and one day the bills will be higher than revenue and, well, Kirk and McCoy said it best in ST6:
