Foreword

This is a new thing that /r/sto will be trying out for the month of August. For each week on monday, I will post one of these megathreads as a weekly opportunity for some of our newer players to ask questions about the game. This thread will be a troll-free environment, so that anyone can ask a question without backlash. Negative attitudes will not be tolerated and poor comments/answers will be deleted on sight.

These weekly threads will appear at the top of the submission list for /r/sto until Wednesday afternoon, and also archived in the sidebar for later reference. If you have any feedback, please send us a mod mail!

Greetings captains! This thread was created for the sole purpose of aiding those who aren't that knowledgeable about the game by allowing them to freely ask questions and get answers. This place will be a troll-free environment so that anyone can ask a question without backlash. In other words: negative attitudes will not be tolerated.

• Before asking a question, be sure to check out our Frequently Asked Questions section in the wiki first to see if your question has already been answered.

• If you answer a question, do so in a friendly and comprehensive manner. In other words, be nice and make sure your answer actually answers the question that was asked.

• I highly encourage you to sort the comments by "new" rather than "top" or "best" so that all the questions may be answered, as some people will come late to the thread.

• If you wish to just view top level comments (i.e. only questions) add ?depth=1 to the end of the page url

edit: Thanks for your participation everyone! This has been a pretty huge success and we'll see how the next 3 weeks go. If your question didn't get answered, please ask it again next Monday when the new megathread has been posted.
