Questions About Academy

[Joker Morgan 0]

I really love Star Trek. I've simmed with other components in the past however, nobody has been as official as STSF. I have played a Marine in the past as an officer. Being a former Marine myself it's an easy thing to do. However I would like to play as an Enlistedman for either Star Fleet or SFMC (If Available). How would that work with the Academy Sims? Would I just report to a ship as an Ableman or a Private?

 

Any answers would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to start tonight so time is of the essence.

It's not necessary to establish a character in advance of graduating the Academy - all players are essentially human cadets, so they can focus on learning the mechanics and elements of gameplay, before trying to tackle alien attributes or specific backgrounds. Just show up, IM for an assignment and play that post to the best of your ability.

 

Looking to the future, some of the Advanced Sims do allow Marine posting (either enlisted or officer rank) - Excalibur and Challenger come to mind - but even for those which don't, they may be open to such a possibility. You gotta wait until Academy graduation, though, when Personnel will put you in touch with some of the hosts.

 

Until then, just drop into the Academy and enjoy the ride.
