I would like to see this happen. I have not been able to speak to the admiralty of the fleet I am currently a member of...but I think they would like to see something like this happen as well......
Allow me to bring this to their attention, and see if this is something they would like to do.

so what are you going to vote on?

random things including event scheduling, mostly event scheduling including pvp tournaments, days where we will storm the Qs, fleet actions, and STF days where multiple guilds participate. if the votes for events do not pass then the individual guild can still do the events, and maybe with several other guilds, just not all members are to participate. also polls for our coordinated forum posts to influence cryptic and present a clearer picture of what the KDF wants.

The coordinated voice for the forums I think is the best and most important thing I can see coming from this. We need to put on a solid front to show Cryptic that we are not simply a small population, but a strong foundation for them to build upon.

The problem is that this type of reverse-fleet mechanism does just the opposite. Any communication will be coming from only one party. Since Cryptic has no method of knowing how many are represented, they treat it as one voice. Much better to have many different fleets and even individuals letting their wishes known than one who purports to speak for the many.

Also, the point of fleets is to create smaller communities out of a larger impersonal faction. All any successful attempt would really have accomplished is making the said fleets that belong irrelevant and nothing more that fleet banks. Doubt that, ask yourself other than that if the KDF were to operate as one big super-fleet what would be the point of even being in a fleet.

I admire your enthusiams, but this might be the perfect time, to point out that this has been tried at least 2 times before that I know of, and both times it's ended miserably for all parties involved.

Understand me correctly: I am not trying to ruin your attempt, I just want to be sure you're prepared for what you're facing.

From what I could tell the other times, the general concept is that in the beginning all goes smoothly, but over time someone makes the mistake of speaking about a fleet merge with other fleets, or common rules... eventually resulting in mass chaos and the fleets involved breaking apart.

I wasn't involved in the process, but I observed it from the distance, and it wasn't pretty.

I hope you guys get this going, I really do, but be aware of theese issues, and make sure that theese issues are off the table and cleared before you go into other topics... "Are we working towards a total fleet", "Are we going to have a common rulebook"... Stuff like that.

Make sure everyone understands it.

It's just a word of advice... Use it or don't...

Good luck.

I think the fact there is a discussion here at least shows an interest in doing something between the fleets to help our faction out, the question is what can we do?

I think before we start talking about a unified forum posting front, that will likely be a negative move..

It might be smart to get people into an event, something all klingons regardless of rank can participate in, and then notify the various podcasts about it.

The problem is we don't have large social spaces so we need something like a tournament, or a house war.

What if you guys tied in a meeting of the fleets with a house war?

it might be a bit RP, but each fleet can field a team for pvp matches and do battle.

I have a foundry mission ready to go right now unpublished, it's a fake tournament hall, if you guys get this going and can make some teams, I will provide a foundry mission that Klingons can go to that will show the team captains standing around, explain the tournaments rules and where to sign up, and where there is a winner, a throne the winner can sit on for bragging rights.

Thats about all I can offer, as I have a lot on my scehdule, but if you get something going I'll support anything the Klingons can come up with to keep our faction healthy.

Just PM me here

But then again I'm not in a fleet!!!
