Following a landmark year and a new drive to refresh fleet services starting with the website revamp to close the year, we’re in constant review mode to make sure that our systems and services are working for everyone within Q2. Despite January seemingly lasting three times as long as normal this year, we’ve already had a great start with Tesla and Proxima heading into their first away missions of the year, and new opportunities arsing from a temporary change of command on the Churchill and two new members on board the new Fleet Support Group. So we want to make sure that with a great start to the year, we keep that momentum going!

The past few years have been difficult from lockdowns to social changes and other things we wont get into! At times we’ve all felt a little disconnected and a little worn out. Changes in social media needs and habits, as well as an ever divisive and negative online landscape can be draining and trail off the excitement and energy we once embraced. Going forward, we want to make sure our output continues to be positive, accessible and most of all fun.

Ok, so surveys aren’t fun. But we’d like to make sure we’re doing our all for fleet engagement, ensuring our accessibility and output remains relevant to you without leaning to heavy on often unreliable metrics. And so, our first Admirals Blog of the year gives you the stage to  let us hear your feedback, your view and keep us on track for the next adventures…

Engaging 2025 Survey
Our Engaging 2025 survey is a quick series of questions to help us ensure we are making the most out of the online world for our members, whether thats through Q2 directly, our social media channels and finding out how best to serve your membership needs in an ever changing landscape!

Fleet Activities
What elements or services have you used or participated within through your SFC Membership throughout 2024?













Fleet Communications Network
Towards the end of 2024 we launched a revised website and membership hub to try and simplify the site output and show better focus towards membership functions and needs (more information here).






As part of our 2025 service review, we're taking a look at how we use the wider internet and social media. With an obvious shift in social media usage for various reasons in recent years, we want to ensure we remain inclusive and take on board new ideas to help advance your experience.

From the following, which would you prefer be used for both the wider Q2 and more localised Unit or Group interaction?













Engaging Experiments...
Over the course of 2025 we're considering several new outlets. Some from previous feedback, and some based on centralising resources. Before social media, primarily Facebook, became a popular and accessible host the majority of online discourse was held in a fleet forum. Our recent update revived the forum as Club 47 for comments, updates and resources with optional plans to re-add unit and group specific information and potentially discussion.



With access to platforms including Twitch and Facebook, there has been suggestions to have more visual content such as gaming livestreams and online meets via one of our social or third party apps.



Often used by gaming and fan communities, discord is a service that offers significant customisation, voice hangouts, direct messaging and more including the ability to assign unit or group specified roles for special access.


Last one, we promise! Making sure we deliver the best experience for 2025 is important to us. If you have any suggestions on the above, or any aspect of Q2, please let us know!

A Fistful of Connections

Connected universe on screen have been a bigger deal now more than ever before now that one of the most popular, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has embraced Marvel's diverse history before it was it's own singular media empire. Shared universes have always been a bit of a cool thing to see on screen whether it was a subtle one such as Michael Keaton reprising his Jackie Brown role as Ray Nicollet in Out of Sight, to spin offs such as Frasier bringing in the old Cheers gang, there's a novelty to seeing the fictional worlds interconnect with each other from time to time.. For Star Trek's divergence to telling a story about another crew, the shared universe began with unsubtle hints that this was the same universe as Kirk's adventures with DeForest Kelly in aged make up as retired Admiral […]

[Q2&A] The Academy

It's become a thing of legend that Star Trek fans are the type of fans who like to know the details. All the details. It's a stereotype that's been enhanced by our own fandom. We had the Nitpickers Guide series. We had Technical manuals. We had fans writing to production staff to ask how transporters worked. In turn we had the infamous 'Get A Life' sketch and tributes to the fandoms from news pieces of people doing jury duty in uniform to shows like Futurama introducing the Star Trek church (in a rather affectionate nod!).

[Admirals Blog] ACME, Tesla & The Great Outdoors….

It's not exactly a secret that since lockdown, there's been a bit of a disconnect for a lot of people. Myself included. It's safe to say between lockdown keeping me tied to a desk job, moving into the middle of nowhere and generally finding a billion and one things to do for Q2, I'd become a bit of a shut in. But after what feels like years of promising to get back outside and rejoin the fun on the ground, Tesla's team convinced me to take a day off and head out on an away mission!

[Admirals Log] Sixty Years & New Frontiers

It's safe to say that the Star Trek Universe has been in a constant state of evolution lately. From the weekend announcements and showcases form SDCC (more on that later this week) to massive shifts in recent years that's saw more than a few new creative directions taken, change has always been key to a long and healthy franchise. As a ridiculously weak transition from that to the Admirals Update, change is just as important for us. Since joining Q2 I've beeen fascinated by the fleet being one of constant evolution and now I'm quite keen to see more change coming as we celebrate a landmark year for us all.

[Admirals Blog] Busting Makes Me Feel Good…

I thought I was l being clever with the launch of Q2&A this month. Until I realised the three posts I'd written up mean that in the quarterly blog, unless I wasn't to go into statistics of the year so far and indulge in some rather dull pie charts and graphs. Which would send half the fleet into a state of deep, deep sleep. So I've decided to do something I've been putting off for a long, long time and document a pet project that started off as a one off purchase, and turned into years of tinkeri1ng and learning. And it all started with finding a Ghostbusters Neutrona Wand on Amazon...

[Admirals Log] “Change is the essential process of all existence.”

Since relinquishing the Comms role to focus on Admin, following the Fleet Confirmation we'd spent some time taking stock of things we'd like to change and refine to ensure all members get the most out of being part of Quadrant 2. I know membership is free, but we'd still like to make sure you feel like you're getting value for your latinum and get the most out of being part of Q2. We'll be doing some surveys through the coming months to help isolate where we could further improve, but based on feedback we've received we're implementing more and more things for members throughout 2024. One of the most obvious looking over the site is a push to ensure we're updating regularly; both in moving features that used to be part of Comms into regular site updates and keeping up […]

[Admirals Log] So, you wanna be a Starship Captain?

Every Star Trek fans dreams of being the captain of their own Starship and while we don't have any actual starships to hand out, Q2's structure is based around the concept of captains leading groups of fans through social activities, fun and general shenanigans! One of the most commonly asked questions in Q2 the board gets is simply how to start a new unit. In the past we've had units all across Europe with several running at a time before we converged the fleet into two large units as part of a massive restructuring project some years ago. At present those two larger units – Sovereign and Churchill – act as a large base covering a lot of ground which means a lot of the action is all online. Our localised units build more offline-based social structures and offer activities […]
