      Hello everyone and welcome to New Horizon Spaces.  

      This has been a website I have had for many years.  It has gone through many different focuses over the years, but its here to stay.  I have emails attached to this domain name so I have no intention of getting rid of this domain name any time soon.  I have had it for many years and have no intention of giving it up.  This will serve as a parent company to any other business I create.  This serves as both personal and business purposes.

    2. With season 8,  Star Trek Online has a new Federation Tutorial.  Here I am posting up my old Tutorial so that everyone will remember what that tutorial was like before they changed it.

      When you first learn a new game, it can be confusing at first. Even though, there is a tutorial when you start the Star Trek Online game, sometimes you just need some sort of walk through. I had Beta tested this game when it was in open Beta. Let me tell you, I was confused and did get a bit lost in there. Now, I can go through the tutorial like no tomorrow and get through it in one day. It took me about two or three days when I was testing it out.

      Please, don’t let the pictures scare you. The graphics are better than what they seem in the picture below. These were taken in game.

       

      This is the very beginning of the tutorial where my character is on the ship. You do start up as an ensign here. Once you finish up the tutorial, you are promptly promoted to Lieutenant.

       

      As you can tell, I had walked my character closer to the redish door. That is where we need to go. When we get there, we press the F key to go up to the bridge.

       

      Now You Are On the bridge.  Right now you are not the captain of the ship.  You walk to the captain.  He gives you instructions and then you turn around and do what he tells you to do.

       

      This is what you are doing after you talk to the captain.  You were contacting another ship so you were pressing the f key by the consoles.  Anything that lights up in the game has an action.  In this sense it was the consoles.

       

      Now this is the turbolift to take your character down to the transporter room where you will be transported to another ship.

       

      This is the transporter room.  Walk to the security chief and then walk onto the transporter pad.  Just click the f key once you are on the transporter pad.

       

      This is where you had beamed to. You walk to the Emergency Medical Program that is right in front of you. Most people you talk to have a yellow balloon above their head.

       

      The Emergency Holographic program tells you to help and you scan one of the beds that you see on the screen with your tricorder.  All you have to do is press F when you come up to one of the beds.  Then you walk back to the Emergency Holographic Program and he gives you the next thing he needs your character to do which consists of helping Thelos.

       

      Here is where you head to the hallway before heading to Thelos.

       

      Now you are in the Hallway leading toward Thelos.  You see where my character is facing?  She is going to go right in there as that is where Thelos is.

       

      Now you are right by Thelos.  He is going to ask you to do something.  You go to one of the consoles and press F to do it.

       

      Here is my character at the console doing what she was being told to do by Thelos.

       

      Then Tholos then sent my character to the next console where she must activate like I did here.  If I remember right, its to activate the borg or something along those lines.

       

      This is where Thelos wanted my character to release the org and by doing that I would have to walk to the console that is in front of my character.

       

      Then you are asked to go to deck 3 I believe. The turbolift in in that area which should take you there.

       

      Here you have to destroy six borg nodes.  Click on it and then keep firing at them.  Watch out, some borgs may be coming at you.  Fire at them if you need to.

       

      Here is another picture of a borg node that you need to fire at.  Just keep firing at these.

       

      Don’t forget you are not limited to this stretch to fire at them.  There are couple other room on the right and left side that you can go in and fire at too.

       

      Here is an image from the stretch of one of the rooms you can go into.

       

      Here is an image of my character in one of those room.

       

      Once you are done, now follow the arrow.  The next part, you have to go to engineering.  The arrow is the blue arrows on the wall.  When I first did the tutorial, I missed a whole lot of that, but now I can breeze through the tutorial every time I need to go through them.

       

      Once you turn the corner and past the fire, you keep following the arrows.

       

      Now you will be taking the turbolift to engineering.  By following those arrows, it brought you to the turbolift.

       

       

       

      Now you are on the deck where engineering is.  Watch out, there are borg drones that you must fire at.

       

       

       

      Here we go firing at the borg now.

       

      Don’t forget to follow the arrows.

       

      Go down the steps and you will be fighting some Borg.

       

      Here is my character fighting the borg. It is very hard to fight the borg and take screenshots at the same time.

       

      After you are done with that, they you should go to the transporter room. Go farther in that area and you shall find the arrows. That will lead you to the transporter room.

       

       

       

      Here is the corridor you should be going through.

       

      Here is the last stretch before the transporter room.

       

      Here you get to choose your bridge officer before stepping on the transporter pad.

       

      Here you have to find at least five ships.  You will have to fly around and find them.

       

      Here is my ship heading to one of them.  As you get close enough to it, you will beaming them aboard your ship even though you don’t see it.

       

       

       

      The last part is you have to find the Renown.  That is hiding behind the asteroid.

       

      Fly your ship toward the planet.  Here you will be beaming aboard the planet.

       

       

       

      You beam onto the planet.  You talk to Lieutenant Kelly where you get a kit based off your track.  With that you also get a phaser.

       

      Here fire at the borg to save the colonist.  After that is done, you have one more assignment.  You will be continuing firing at the borg as you unlock the area with the borg.  You will have to disable a couple things and the mission will be over.

       

      Defeat the borg cube and sphere here, and you will be done with the tutorial.  Once you are done, you will be heading to spacedock.  Make it to Quinn’s office and talk to him and you will be promoted to Lieutenant.  Its right in front of you when you go in there.  He’ll also give you a mission assignment.  You will be getting assignments from him from time to time.  Just hail Starfleet and you will see what is available.  Also while you are talking to Quinn.  Turn around and talk to Sulu.  He should have some assignments for you.  There are a few other people you can talk to in spacedock where are located in the requistion area.

    3. Many people create websites for many reasons. It may vary from a business purposes to a hobby. When I first had a website, I didn’t know a whole lot compared to what I know now. Like everyone, my very first website was a free one until one day I decided that I needed more control and now I run a site that has its own domain name and webhosting. In fact, I currently have a total of three sites running concurrently under one host.

      A little about Free Websites


      Free websites do have their place if you are only starting out and you don’t typically need a lot of advanced features like having a forum included in your website. More than likely, you would have to go a domain name and webhost to take advantage of that. Most free hosts do not have the stuff you need in order to install a forum.

      What Do You Need to Develop a Website


      In this section, I am going to discuss what is needed when it comes to paying for a website.

      What you need is this:

      A domain Name

      Webhost

      A little About Domain Names

      Buying a domain name is cheap. When I first bought my first domain name, I was spending $15 dollars a year only because I didn’t know of any other sites that charged less for the money. Now I spend less than $10 per year per domain name.

      When you do buy a domain name, come up with a name that suites what your website is all about. The key to a good domain name is one that is easy to remember.
      A little about Webhosts
      A domain name is only just a name so you need some sort of host. Most people I know these days use hostgator. I’ve used them for a couple years and I have hardly had any problems with them. A little about webhosts, they usually meet what you need.

      The webhosting Options
      There are many different options that you can choose when choosing the webhosting options.

      Here are a few options you have:

      • Shared
      • Reseller
      • Dedicated Server
      • Virtual private server

      Most people will start out on a shared server as that is usually all you need when first starting out. A reseller account is where you can sell hosting to other people to choose. Its great for that, but its also a good way to divide your own websites up. Its the more expensive option than shared. Resellers are typically on shared environment. Then the next step would be the virtual private servers as that is right in between a shared environment and a dedicated server. What it basically is, is where you share a particion with other people on that server. Finally the last option here is Dedicated server where its only you on there and if you are hosting other people.

      Lets get to the Fun Part

      Now it is time to start building a website once you have done all that I had said before.
      Now you have to decide if you want to build a site from scratch or not. You can build the site with only just html and css or using a cms.
      If you decide to create a site from scratch, you really need to learn how to create a site from scratch. The other option is that you can install a cms and it will do most of the work for you. Still it will be helpful for you to learn html in order to do everything you want to do to make the site look good.

      The Bottom Line

      The bottom line is that it does take time to learn everything. If you are willing to learn new things, this is for you and it will be well worth it once you start building your own website. You will be happy on what you had created and as time goes on you will keep on trying to improve it. I have had my website for quite a few years and have never looked back since.
