Star Trek Online Fleet
Hi everyone. I have been asked to help organize a STO fleet for us all. The idea would be to have a fleet for each of the platforms (PC, PS and XB). If enough people are up for it then we can look at creating a fleet for both KDF and Fed side on each. For this to work we will need at least 5 initial members for each platform. I play mostly PC but have access to the other two. It would be great if there are a couple of people willing to take the lead on PlayStation and Xbox though. For now I just need to know whose…
