Hmmm.. well that does seem to be the name of your guild! Unforunate indeed! I guess thats an extra pain stick in there.*grin*.

 Just out of curiousity, I do know that in Startrek History the Black fleet was the Klingon's idea of the afterlife.  This was origonaly created through an Old Series book, The Final Reflection by John Ford. When a Klingon dies an honourable death, they are believed to go on to serve in the Black Fleet, where they fight a continous battle against their most worthy foes. So thats where my Blashemous comment came from. Im not sure there was ever a REAL Klingon fleet called the black fleet in any of the Old Series movies, books, or TV show? Im not expert on Klingon History or culture. I cant find anything about it in the few Klingon books I dregged out of the attic.

{edit)
One thing I did find out about on www.klingon.org is this.

Klingon Tea Ceremony
This is a ceremony to test one's bravery. In this ritual, two friends share poisoned tea served on a tray decorated with simple flowers. This ceremony gives the friends a chance to share each other's mortality and to remind them that death is an experience best shared - like the tea.

And I thought the pain stick was bad!

Oh, and Age Im confused.

In one reply ot this post, you say your on this Klingon Guild council. On the second hand you said "Well as the saying goes if you can not beat them join them. The Federation will prevail and there is no life like it. "

What am I missing here?

The Black Fleet is not a mortal fleet to join, but rather they great spirit fleet that lies beyond the "All seeing stars". Though you are right about fighting valorious battles. Given any ship, from a E7 to a C7 to a B10, I will fight in a way to make my ancestors proud. Then, in death, perhaps I wll be given a place within the great Black Fleet.


If you have a mortal fleet that carries the same name, I would find this near blasphemous!

When you take that K-E4K out to destroy or capture.I want you to do it agianst someone in the Federation
         Protection Fleet I prefer it to be Wander or Tracey G.I want to hear all about this before you get excepted

         you fail in this you will be just a regular in the Klingon Defence Force and try agian in a years time ot 2.
         This what it will take for you to join the Klingon Black Fleet.Those are your orders if you do not want to do

I was just playing around talking all Klingon-like. Based off of my knowledge of the Klingon storyline. You thought I was asking to join in your guild. Oops! Well.. Im not. No offense or anything, but Im just back into SFC, and am playing for the fun of it. I have a family, a intense corporate job, and prior commitments to the local orchestra and with my golf game. So I dont think  I have the time comittment (or talent) to join a guild right now.


Thanks anyway!

Klingon Black Fleet...KBF....

AKA the home fleet in Federation and Empire

Age is not afilliated with Klingon Black Fleet...

Thus all the KBF sigs....oh and Irish....your schedual is about par for most of our fleet.....we are elite because of the way we fight....not they way we act...

If you need a hand getting back up to speed on what servers are active what files you need...etc...just ask....

Sorry, no Koras in the Black Fleet.

Nothing like coming in an ticking off one of the last and largest fleets remaining in the Empire.

30 posts in a stratgey thread. Look its real simple. Close and hose.

Hey all,

While you are all veterans at this, Im scrounging the back of my brain to try and remember all of my SFB tactics from back in 89 and 90. The interveining 14 years have not been kind to my memory.

I normally play either Klingon or Romulan, because i like the cultures. However I do remember now some of my frustration with SFB. Now I know my Klingon fire arcs, and I know to keep in the 15-9 range. (question. Is 15.01-15.99 still considered 15 in SFC for ranges?). I know the strengths of my disruptors and how they fire twice as often as photons. I spend a lot of time running out in the 15 range, and doing the lazy "s" of the Saberdance. Both with Klingon and Romulan. I never lay up on fire, tring to have a voley every few seconds of something, in order to keep the enemy shields from regenerating. I use my ECM to try and get a shift, as long as I can keep my movement around 24.

It gets frustrating however, if you make *one* tactical error, and close at the wrong time, you get beaten down to the point of near non recovery.

So by picking these races I have allways felt as the "chased" not the "chaser", and often or not, more like the victim not the agressor. I know Im doing something right by having my opponent say "just CLOSE allready".

My quesion is, perhaps there is a different race I can try that is mostly agressive just to get the feel of it. I hate walking away from my honor filled Klingons, but I might want to try a different helm, just to shake things up a bit.

15.99 is just like 15.00

Try Lyran; very much like Klingon but with an up close and personal set of claws.

Lyran and Hydran both are nasty up close. Both are difficult to learn but worth the effort.

Yes, but I'm sure he'll want to stay on the good guys side.

[762]

That's Freekin Good Guys.

[IrishKlingon]

Well if I can get in on this next campaign, I will commit to be either a Klingon, or one of their allies (like the Lyrans). I cant seem to pull myself out of the "All Federation Scum must die" mode. It comes from years of having "Federation Only" opponents in SFB. I just cant bring myself to pilot a federation ship. If I ever get really sad for a photon / phaser loadout, at least there is a Klingon varraint that has it.
