December 2381--Five years after the Dominion War

 

In an effort to foster mutuality between the three major powers of the Alpha Quadrant and the Dominion, Camelot Station has been constructed in the Gamma Quadrant. Operated by the Federation with the blessing of the Dominion the station orbits in a system called Avalon and is protected by fleets from all three major powers, led by the USS Excalibur.

 

But in the depths of the Gamma Quadrant, an ancient evil, lurking for ten thousand years once again reared its head, bringing chaos and disorder to the Dominion.

 

With the wormhole in operable, and the Dominion falling apart, the crew of the USS Excalibur stands in the eye of the storm, but a new ally has given them hope in their battle against evil.

 

USS Excalibur

Email the XO for more info!

USS Excalibur is an advanced simulation of the Star Trek Simulation Forum. It is a real-time chat-based simulation played on Sunday nights at 10PM EST in the "Excalibur" chat room at STSF.net.

 

great well that just leaves the Arcadia, Reaent, and Republic to learn about. When was the dominion war anyway, TNG era? I just looked it up, apparently it was in the 6th season of voyager.

 

And how does graduation go anyway. after i finish the academy, do i email an XO for an application or do i just get emailed by one of the GMs?

 

EDIT: I was looking at the challenger bios when a question came to mind. Is it possible to be a MACO on the Challenger?

Yeah, Challenger has MACO openings.

Awesome. Wait, do they get to go on away missions and shoot peoples?

If need be, yeah. :) Actually, they accompany Security in Away Missions and help them keep the peace.

The Military was made to keep the peace? ::gasp::

 

What a twist!

 

When somebody mentions Security, Tuvok and his army of 5 people with rifles all coming to a door and opening it with a crank comes to mind :)

As to graduation. Once you graduate, the graduating GM team will get your email addy and send a notice to STSF Personnel who will send you an application to fill out. :)

And they pick the ship for you or do you get to choose? Plus I have a question. Once you start an academy session, do you only go to that one during the week? Like if you go on Monday, do you always have to go on Monday, or can you go on every session in the week?

The application you get sent has space to list your top 3 choices for department, and top 3 choices for ship, as well as asking which is more important to you -- getting the department you want, or the ship.

 

You can attend any Academy you want, and many people do attend several during the week, but it's best to become a regular at one so that the GM team gets to know you and your simming abilities. It's easier to evaluate whether someone is ready for promotion if you've seen them several times.

Alright. Say, how do you get those cool picture signature....thingies. Like some of the users I've seen post, their members picture thing is like a 3d star trek character. How do you make that? And for the signature, how do you get those marks, like the dots that the people have on their uniform. Like you(Harper) have that black costume with the communicator star thingy on it for yours.

The 3D avatars are Sims avatars that people did custom Trek skins for. We had a few members on the boards who were taking requests a while back, but as far as I know none of them are still doing avatars.

 

The rank bars so many of us use in our signatures can be found all over the 'net. Mine's from Kuro RPG, as are several of the others I see around. What you do is find a site that has rank images and allows people to use them, pick the one you like, save it to your computer and upload it to your own image hosting space. (Because people were nice enough to share the pretty pictures with all of us, we're nice to their bandwidth in return.) Then you put the image into your signature through your control panel.

Oh, so thats why the heads of the 3d dudes looked square. i dont get all that technical lingo, and i dont want to waste someone's time by asking for a lesson on how to do the thing with the bandwith, so im just gonna draw my own on paint, although its gonna look sloppy, really sloppy.

 

EDIT: On second thought, the things aren't turning out too well. If nobody's busy, could that person tell me what website and how to do the bandwith hosting thingy?

I'm not sure how to explain it any more simply... you save the picture, then upload it to a photo-share/image-hosting space. Have you got an account on Photobucket or Flickr or something like that?
