Hints
If
you would like to graduate from Starfleet Academy, it is recommended
that you:
Do
-
Follow the mission briefing. If the ship is delivering medical
supplies, don't announce that the ship is suddenly off course
and facing a squadron of Cardassian warships.
- Watch
for action commands posted by the GM and role-play an appropriate
response.
- Work
with other departments to accomplish the mission brief in a realistic
manner.
- Work
with other members of your own department, especially if you are
the department head.
-
Follow the chain of command. For example, if you're playing Helm,
wait for the Captain to give the course and speed before plotting
a course.
-
Respect the Command Staff. It's a good idea to avoid negative
comments about the GMs in the room or on the discussion boards.
You wouldn't want to do anything embarassing
to you or the institution of Command.
-
Perform the responsibilities of your position to complete the
task in a realistic manner.
Perform the responsibilities of your position to complete the
task in a realistic manner.
Do
Not
-
Play superman. Every character has faults, limitations and weaknesses.
- Attempt
to solve problems related to departments other than your own.
-
Break everything! There are more ways to play than reporting that
the sensors/warp drive/weapons systems/environmental controls
are not functioning.
Other
Academy Guidelines and Tips
Cadets
are encouraged to use a "Cadet" or "Cdt" prefix
in their character name. A cadet name helps to establish a new character
and acts as an indicator of the character's progression through
the STSF fleet ranks.
Practice
makes perfect. STSF encourages frequent participation in the Academy
simulations. The more familiar a player is with the gaming conventions,
the more successful they will be as an STSF simmer.
