: Star Trek, a wonderful enterprise that entered my house before I was even born. I remember as I was growing up we used to watch it all the time, especially Star Trek: The Next Generation. I myself was not a fan of Star Trek, and I used to hide away in my room while my family watched. Years and years passed and I finally decided to try to watch it. I began with Star Trek: Voyager. I will never regret the decision I made that day, because to this day, I now consider myself a Trekkie. | |||
: About nine months ago, I was encouraged by my brother to join Starbase118. After much consideration, I decided to agree, but only because I love to write, and enjoy Star Trek. After being on the site I realized how Starbase118 is for more than writing and Star Trek. Starbase118 is a place you get to be expressive and creative, it's a place to meet new people with the same interests as you, and it's a safe haven. In the time that I have been here, I have made many friends and written many stories. My crew on the ship I write for is like my family, and Starbase118 is like my home away from home. | |||
: UFOP: Starbase-118 is a really easy site to use, and a great place to be. It is a simple Role play Game that you can access through email. Whether you have a Hotmail, a Gmail, a Yahoo, or an Outlook, this place will suit all your writing and Star Trek needs. Starbase118 has something for just about everyone, and anyone can join. Once in the Starbase118 community, you will also be able to join groups, like; Top Sims contest Judge, or The Image Collective. The most fun thing here though is, being able to rise through the ranks. I am very pleased with Starbase118, and I hope to stay here for a long time. | |||

: I have been watching Star Trek since I was a young boy hooked on Season 2 of TNG. Since then, I have dreamed of the stars and distant places. I also dreamed of piloting exotic space craft so much that I pursued a pilot’s license in real life. Another long time hobby of mine has always been fictional writing however, I found I sometimes lacked the inspiration needed to write consistently. | |||
: Approximately 6 months ago a friend invited me to check out the UFOP: Starbase-118 community. I was extremely impressed with the step by step training system and the friendly mentorship I received right off the bat. As a result, I caught on to the format of the SIM a lot quicker than I anticipated and gained the confidence to add my own style and idea’s to the storylines without fear of rejection or ridicule. The people are always friendly and always willing to help, whether it be via email, yahoo groups, forums, wiki, or a hundred other means. | |||
: UFOP: Starbase-118 gives me a place to write consistently, while gaining inspiration from the wide variety of storylines and characters to SIM. It also allows me to interact with an extremely welcoming, and social group of like-minded writers. This has been a wonderful and extremely addictive experience so far! In the near future I'm looking forward to diving into aspects of the Starbase 118 world I have yet to try, such as the writing contests and Out of Character services. There really is something for just about everyone in this group!! | |||

* "I joined SB118 in Jan/Feb of this year (2007). I had no previous experience of simming or PBEM but the website and the sense of history enticed me to give it a go. I had done tabletop role-playing before and I found the training period very helpful in terms on understanding some of the basic concepts (such as email format) that the group uses. The trainers all proved very helpful, informative & accommodating, the website and wiki are full of useful and interesting information and the game itself is very friendly with a good mix of adventure and mystery and plenty of opportunity for role-playing. What I like the most about SB118, however, is the sense of community you get through the message boards with plenty of folks happy to chat on any subject, not just star trek." | * "I joined SB118 in Jan/Feb of this year (2007).

*I joined the fleet a little over 3 years ago. I have served in four different fleets full time over the past 13 years. By far The Starbase 118 Fleet is the best I have served with. They have been the best at helping and shaping me into a better writer growing daily. I still have a long way to go, but I have come a long way from day one. I went back and read all my 1st months post a few weeks ago and I was like “WOW” they should have tossed me out the air lock and warped away. But the Command Crew and Mentors helped develop me more and more. Not only have I had a great time IC, but I have just as much fun with OOC work as well working with the Image Team, or on the Wiki, and playing on the Forums. I have come to feel like this 118 community is a large extended family. I have made some great friends on my ship and even some on other ships. | |||
The Command staff in the fleet is some of the best I have ever seen. Not many fleets out there can you chat and brainstorm with the Fleet Adm. or other Commanding officers so freely. So I guess I am a Cheerleader or a groupie for the 118 fleet. I look forward to many more years of great simming and growing in this community. | |||
