Next Great Step

The announcement. :D

Greetings to you fellow EF'ers! For a while now you've been teased and told that some changes had been planed for ol Expedition fleet. Well the wait is finally over to see what those changes are going to be! Effective with the opening of the infobase and the unveiling of the Expedition fleet web site you'll see that EF is going to embrace certain design elements and story plots dealing with the brand new Star Trek Movie coming out in May of next year. It's an exciting time in Star Trek Fandom and embracing the elements of the new movie puts EF in the right position to massively benefit from the scope and marketing of the film.

Now i know some aren't so sure about canon details in the movie. Let me assure you EF will be creating a hybridized EF canon from what we already have established and what we will start to establish in regards to the new film as we learn more info about it. This won't be a magical "Hey look! Everything in EF is just like the movie suddenly!" It's going to be a more organic slide into certain new things for EF. Firstly the new style uniform for example. After Venture Star comes back from her maiden voyage the first thing she's going to deal with is the quarter master issuing out the new style uniforms to wear. It'll be a nice simple progression of things from there. We'll deal with these new fangled phaser weapons being installed on ship's of the line. Eventually rolling out hand phasers for crews to "test" You'll still have the same bridge on your ship if your GM wants it to stay the old way. The individual ship insignia stay the same. You'll still be able to perform the same classic trek missions we all know and love. This is going to be the same EF you all signed up for when we first started. Just kicked up a few notches to appeal to a winder range of people.

A lot of people have been working very hard to spruce up our infobase and design a beautiful new website for us in EF. I hope you all join me in thanking them for all the hard work and dedication they put in for us. Firstly Dan taylor for making it all work so smoothly. Futility's end's own "THE" Doc for the wonderful new infobase and our Mr.SparrowHawk here for the fantastic new EF website that we should all see very soon. This is a great new step for EF and one that positions us for a solid footing from here to the future.

Yours
