Still recruiting for aTAC officer

Don't we have something like that with the Karma system? you could just count up who has the most karma points each month?

Remember you as a PC take more priority than an NPC, so if there's an NPC in the position you like, feel free to take that position.  Especially as very few NPCs have been mentioned in the three game posts we've had so far.  

We're recruiting for the Chief Tactical Officer, please let me know if yo're interested!

All departments need a junior officer, feel free to take over the position.  Make your own character, or just move Stark over there.  Or if you rather play a crewman that's fine too.

The captain will give you some mission assignments during the meeting. In the mean time, drills could be in the phaser range, or could be a mock boarding, or what to do in case Klingons attack. If your unsure of what to do use that, make this your characters first command assignment, make her remember her old Commander, and wish she was still here. Have her lament her promotion. Remember this is a science vessel, all herself why she's the military presence here. Most of what Worf does when their not attacking stuff is answer communications. Maybe one of your crewmen want to get bridge certified and needs some pointers on paying the test. Your first part can be before Cole's post as well, maybe she's off duty, maybe she's doing something in the holosuite, maybe she's eating a meal with friends. Lots of possibilities. Don't give up yet

I'm going to close the recruitment on Sunday, give any stragglers a chance to jump in. After that, if we get another player, they will be a transfer from the Ada Lovelace.

Amazing first post! I'm going to wait until probably Sunday night before I post about the meeting, give everyone a chance to make their first posts, and get there characters up on the roster.  

Looking great so far! Can't wait to see what everyone else has.

I've been thinking about that.  I like that Riker and Picard are on the bridge at the same time.  My initial inclination is that since we're going to be parked in the system for the next year, that most people will work Alpha shift, and skeleton crews will run Beta and Gamma waking the rest of the crew if there's an emergency.  This way, there's a lot of character interaction, and no one is "stuck" doing bridge duty when everyone else is on the holodeck, etc.  Not how a "military" vessel works, but this is a science vessel, so maybe they do things a little differently. 

Plus during away missions, the XO is going to be outside the ship, and the Captain will be on the Ship, so there's that to think about.  Not saying the XO will never be in command, the Captain trusts her officers, just looking at it from a what makes the best story perspective.

Need to put him in some reds   I kid, I know it's a lot of work to have portraits of characters, and I applaud everyone with those skills

When you are fleshing out your department's NPCs, please click on the character's rank insignia and click the edit this character button on the bottom of the page.  Feel free to swap the rank of one crewman in your department for another, but please don't promote anyone without talking to me.  Thank you.

With that, I have all my senior officers (if you'd really like to play medical or Ops we can swap you in), plenty of junior officers and crewmen available if anyone else is interested in playing.

Check out the logbook feature on Trek Tools, I've only got a couple entries so far, but it might help you with backstory.

Ok, I didn't remember the episode, just scaned Memory Alpha real quick.  In general, the theme of the Draconis Fleet isn't godmode, and full psychics tend to approach that.  But if like you say, it's only bonding with one person, and it's done tastefully, I agree there can be interesting opportunities for RP.  I rather not have a convinient Deux Ex Machina on board that solves all the problems (as much as I love Data).

I don't mind having a Haliian on board.  Let's just make sure they don't have the canar crystal.  In other words: Empaths Ok, full psychics save for a different game

Altaira: Looks good

MagicMan: The entry I put in was a place holder for you to edit, I edited your entry to say Chief Flight Control Officer and deleted my entry

Avrielle: Try it now, hitting the subscribe button at the bottom of this page might solve some of your problems.  Yes please edit the NPCs to have names and races and genders at the very least, put as much info as you want to.  If you'd like a partner in crime Eol Fefalas is a junior officer in your department.  

Yay!!!

There's a starstart calculator in Trek Tools, Julian calendar is 2365.3.28. 

Check out the Q&A thread and the game part for more useful tips. Looks like we picked you up on the star base with the XO and chief engineer

Ok, edited, thanks

There's some great info on what your possition entails over on the Draconis Fleet FAQ

I've got my Chief Tactical Officer, and Chief Science Officer, I'm waiting for write ups for Chief Engineer, and Executive Officer.  Plenty of positions available, all offices have junior officers and crewmen, all the fun, none of the responsibility.

Chief science officer is wide open, with the added benefit of being the 2nd officer, and the department head of the largest department. Send me a write up, I'm hoping we'll have enough players by next week to get started.

I took the liberty to assign ranks to the senior officers, feel free to incorporate this information into your character build

Sure, send me a write up, let's see what you're thinking

I posted the first entry, it tells a bit about the setting and the mission.  Let me know if you have questions.
