Hooray, we have a teenager!

13 years ago a dream was born, a dream about a Community full of great people and lots of fun.
Together we went through ups and downs, worked hard to create something impressive that people always will remember and enjoyed the fruits of this hard work.
This community evolved into something great and after 13 years we are in a situation where we have so many options that its hard to decide.
Whatever that future decisions will be, we keep moving forward, knowing that this is a place by the players for the players.

In the past years I often released impressive numbers about Portal visitors, mod downloads... etc.
I'll skip that today.
While these numbers are about the same as last year (slightly better) I consider them relative unimportant.
You cant measure joy in numbers.
People had the chance to discover all the new stuff in CF2.0 during the past year and also helped to make this mod even better.
People also were active on the forum.
This shows me that this is a

Twelve years ago this community went live.
Since that we have achieved much and today it is time to look back, remember great times but also look forward to new tasks, to a new and even better future.
The past year was incredible hard for us as developers and website staff members.
This place has changed alot over the past year and we have done an incredible amount of work to bring it to this state.

Not only that we have a shiny new Portal with awesome performance and awesome functionalities... no... we also have Crossfire 2.0 running on our server, reached the highest possible rank in our Star Trek Online Fleet and have been voted into the Top100 of the Mod Awards for the 8th time.
Thousands of working hours went both into the Portal and into the Mod.
The new year will bring further improvements and of course a great time for our members.

But today... we all should lean back and enjoy the day.... celebrate another great year in this community.

On 14th December 2002 five members of a young Starlancer clan founded the SWAT Portal as they felt the need to create a community for players and clans that wish to stay connected even if they play different games.
11 years later we still have this idea in mind and can look back on many great years.
Thank you to everyone who supported us and helped to stay an active community for such a long time.

We have many great plans for the next year. Not only the Crossfire 2.0 release can be expected but also the start of new projects and massive updates here at the Portal.
I hope the community gives us the support to keep going for another 11 years.

Always keep in mind:

In celebration of our tenth anniversary, Star Trek Online is releasing one of the biggest bundles we've ever put out. Ten of the most iconic ships in Star Trek history, in not one, but two legendary bundles. The ten ships in these bundles will have all new stats, and each come with their own unique, brand new look. In addition, each ship will come with all of the costumes, consoles, and traits of its previous releases. We'll be revealing what ships will be a part of the bundles over time, but we can reveal right now that both bundles will release on February 13th on PC, and a few weeks after the March 3rd Launch of our 10th Anniversary Update on Xbox One and Playstation 4. Click on the buttons below to see the details of each ship as we release them, and see below the buttons for the details on what else these bundles contain. 10th Anniversary Legendary Starship Standard Bundle Cost:

Quote from Star Trek Online News-Bot

Daniels tugged at the high collar of his wool coat as his temporal trainees followed behind. All three of the trainees were likewise garbed in heavy, long coats and gloves, with their specialized temporal equipment carefully stowed away in hidden pockets and beneath holographic camouflage. On mid-22nd century Andoria, non-Andorians were still rare, and the temporal agents definitely didn’t want to draw attention to themselves, so they stayed together, kept their heads down, and focused on the job. “Like the cold, pinkskin?” shouted an Andorian from somewhere in the crowded marketplace. Daniels simply turned and kept his gloved hands on his collar, partly obscuring his face, as he ducked past an open cooking station—some kind of deep freshwater shellfish, probably pulled out from beneath a glacial lake—and gently brushed past an old Andorian woman. Several small tables choked the space on

This ad is fascinating; the show didn’t have a title logo yet so they used the one from the (narratively unrelated) 1993 Wing Commander Academy game complete with a ship screenshot!
