MATH:

INTRODUCING:  THE CHART !! https://bit.ly/mathchart

What’s it for?  The point of this particular resource, is to offer you a way to balance your boff-related expenditures, to ensure that you’re seeking out abilities that aren’t too costly, and therefore leave you room in your skill point pool to beef up these abilities to the max, man.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by email, jeremy@jupiterbroadcasting.com

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK:

The one good link:  https://stofan.comxa.com (sent in by about a dozen of you)
Good resource for guides, tutorials, maps and much much more.

Oh, and a ship chart:  https://www.spidermitch.com/STO/SpidermitchFEDShipChart.jpg
Inspired by Suricata’s ship chart, but now with complete graphical views from every angle.

The rest have been Fleet-specific websites.  At this time, we’ve chosen not to focus on Fleets, to avoid playing favorites of any kind.  But, I will say that some of your sites looked great.

NEXT WEEK’S QUESTION:
In light of Stahl’s announcement that ESD and Qo’nos will be getting facelifts, send us your ideas for features that the new versions of these core social areas need to obtain.
