    This thread should answer your basic questions.

    http://www.stsf.net/forums/index.php?showt...t=0entry37458

    If you have any further questions, feel free and post them to that thread, I'll be glad to answer them.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Adding to the marine discussion, I think they can be a decent addition to a sim but in practicality, what would they do? Both the marines and the security department have the same duties, but (as Ive seen arranged in other marine sims) the SECs usually handle shipboard security while the marines are mostly external. Really SEC is responsible for all of that, IMO, and splitting it into two departments only gives either department less to do.

     

    Also I notice that sometimes marine departments start making their own weapons and we get mega-super-mini-torpedoes that launch from a wristwatch or something. But just briefing over Davis' comments on the link he posted here, it doesn't look like Agincourt will be deviating much from canon technologies...which is nice. But I think I'll post any further questions to that board itself :P

    Depends on what the sim is about...they haven't given any information except a picture that its a Prometheus class. I'm a little disappointed about that, since STSF is already 'top heavy' with big and powerful ship sims.

     

    I'm sure the sim will be great, though. I personally have never cared for "Starfleet Marines", which don't exist in canon, so if its a marine-based sim I would not consider it. I would have definately been curious if it had been a sim in an era STSF doesnt have already...of course this is all conjecture since they really havent announced the sim yet :P

    So what do you have planned for your special someone this V-Day? Or, if you're single, what do you plan on doing?

     

    I've always been fairly extravagant on V-Day, but this year its a no-work event. A dinner at a classy restaurant is about all the evening is going to be, plus the usual (and downright expected) flowers and chocolates.

     

    However during dinner I plan to surprise her with her gift, or rather a surprise....that I've secretly planned a week long honeymoon in Hawaii in June. I suppose I should get a stuffed teddy bear, too just to seal the deal.

     

    Okay your turn!

    We, the GMs, do not get dressed in business attire to run a sim.

     

    No they get dressed in Star Trek uniforms :lol:

     

    I own my own website hosting, design, and consulting company.

     

    What're your rates? I'm running out of monthly bandwidth on mine, hehe.

     

    I have done more than 40 different mockups for STSF's website template over the years. Most of them end up just being saved somewhere on a hard drive and never see the light of day

     

    Show them, it would be fun to see :lol:

    But Starwars only has lasers so it's be like throwing rocks

     

    Yeah but they wouldnt need their lazers because they have a billion tons of metal slamming against the widdle bitty starships.

     

    i bet that the dyson sphere beats all of those... if you call that a ship

     

    Yeah but what would you compare it to? Even next to the death star the dyson sphere would take up the whole monitor and the death star would be a dot if not smaller! Remember the dyson sphere was the size of the Earth's orbit around the sun, meaning the dyson sphere is 300 million kilometers across!!

    I have no idea how I came up with Vex Xiang.

     

    It was originally a name of a character I wrote in a Trek show script, but the name was Ervin Xiang. I eventually changed it to Vex Xiang.

     

    Usually when I want to come up with character names I just start typing and recombine the jumble to make sense. Example:

     

    uiheraukfhjklghujrht

     

    Herak Flurt.
