As a quick clarification... each individual CO/XO has control over what character types, species, etc are permitted on their SIM. The GM Council nor any other group will step in to make this decision for the CO/XO team. If they think it's appropriate for THEIR SIM, then it will be allowed. So if anyone ever has a question on a character, ability, or anything else... check with the individual SIM's GM. Hope that helps. :)

Basically just have fun! Show up... participate... play a variety of roles. There are several things a person should be able to do. One of the bigger ones is to actually ROLE PLAY. If you are assigned as Engineer, and you have nothing "assigned" to you, do whatever an engineer would do. Test equpitment... do regular maintainence, etc. Also show the HOW and not just the WHAT. This means if the ship is damaged and you are the Engineer, you don't say ":::fixes the engines:::" or Captain, I have fixed the engines. Show instead HOW you did it. Connect the do-hickey over there to the thing-ah-mah-bobber over here. That sort of thing. :) When in real life, you can't just "magically fix" things in 5 minutes. Hope that helps.

Hi Romulan Commander! When you read three SIMs was required to graduate Starfleet Academy... that means a MINIMUM of three. The reason we say that is what happens if I attend a SIM... but post say only 2 lines to the screen the entire hour? A GM would have no idea if that person knows how to be sucessful or not in an Advanced SIM. And as far as I remember... all ships have at least one open post on them at this point. Once things tighten up even more, we'll be considering adding additional SIMs to the schedule. If you would like to see what ships are out there... click on the schedule link to the left. :) And don't worry about not graduating yet. It'll happen sooner than you think. I've read good things about ya so far. Welcome to the STSF!

As STSF grows and more people join, there will be a need to add new SIMs. So anything is possible. While we naturally can't "guarentee" anything... it's always something we keep in mind. Most new ships are the brain child of the GMs who run it. That typically means if you want a new ship, find a GM that has the same interest. They'll work with the GM Council to propose it and eventually make it happen. :)

Thanks for the heads up. We have a list of all OFFICIAL GMs posted on the "Who We Are" page. Ya did the right thing by not giving into the person trying to cause trouble. :)

If the individual COs would get the info to me, I'd be happy to add a section to our navigation dedicated to the individual SIMs. :)

To keep things simple, we just use a standard date format... 0209.30 would be September 30, 2002 First 2 numbers represent the year (2002)... 3rd and 4th represent the month (September) and the 5th and 6th represent the date (30th). Christmas would be 0212.25 :) Hope that helps!

Welcome aboard Cadet! It's great to have ya joining us. :) Please feel free to check our schedule of events and see when the next Academy session is. Start attending the Academy sessions and after the GMs see you for a bit, I'll bet you'll be well on your way to graduation. Good luck, and as always... if you have any questions or comments, my door is always open.
