When shall we take off then?

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

When shall we take off then?

Just need TopHat to take his position as copilot and we'll be good to go.

Just need TopHat to take his position as copilot and we'll be good to go.

Should note that if he doesn't make a post to do this tomorrow, I'll just auto the movement.

[TopHat]

Oops, sorry for the delay. I'll try to be more punctual next time.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

I'm presuming this is prelaunch or pre update as a response to spfifle.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that conversations started pre-update have the option of being continued, so long as a minor note (ex. Pre-Update) or mention of it being before the update is applied to the post somewhere.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Ilse slumped lazily in the pilot's seat, occasionally flipping a switch here or adjusting a vector there. For the most part, however, the ship just flew itself at the moment. "So, Klaas. How long've you been flyin' ships?"

Ship itself hasn't launched yet.  You've just gotten permission to launch.

Any thoughts on to why this game wound up stalling out at the current time?

[Kassire]

Well I have no idea on how progress right now, mostly due to something that's not in my control that the higher ups are supposed to deal with. So uh, actually taking off would be a good way to have things moving again.

Taking off might be a workable idea, but really the issue may be simpler.

People don't know what to do, or rather what they "can" do.

You're asking about 19 characters to post each round? I'm unsure what each character can be expected to produce in terms of content. So far I've contributed as much as I can in the following ways generally:

I.) Research: This seems to be a key function of my character and she'll be doing a ton of this.
II.) Crew Management: I've talked to some degree with the people under me (medics), but I'm also not rushing it.
III.) Workplace interaction: (Past, Present, and Future) I've done a little here and there in the medical bay and with a journal entry of sorts.

Now consider what a given person can work with to produce content (a post). That depends largely upon profession/skill doesn't it?

If you're one of the engineers, then I imagine you could do system checks
If you're a pilot, then you could do navigation and / or a bridge shift.
Transport pilot, could do systems checks or hang out in the hanger?
I'm not entirely sure what the ground forces would be doing, seeing as there's nothing to fight (and that's a good thing, combat can't be constant) though training may be? Not sure.

I suppose it's possible they could make use of the ship's various rooms, including the rec room?

Command, including and perhaps especially myself, may set up duty rosters and shifts (I've already started the basics of this with the on call idea, and offered the possibility of reaching out to discuss someone else's research).

I guess the idea is, what would you expect in a post from a given person? How would they make it using what they have in front of them? What reoccuring themes would be used in shipboard life? Consider Star Trek TNG. They had a regular poker game where crew members Data, Worf, Riker, and Troy were regulars (and Picard never showed up except in the last episode). They also had Ten Forward, a socialization and watering hole area where various news was relayed in the classic "adventurer's tavern" style by Guinan. Of course, the holodeck could be any set they wanted, but really even without that flexibility, it's a matter of essentially how to occupy your time, where and with who.

I hope that helps somewhat.

Get drunk, Gamble, Start a card game, talk about women foke, So on and so forth I would think.

At this point it would be the development of interactions between the various members of the crew, selection of an area to sleep within, meeting superiors to find out who is in charge of your character, and, if available, performance of the position's duties (ex. observation of systems as they are utilized, flying the ship, becoming familiar with the control scheme if from another planet, etc.).

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

If we are waiting on people to call in, remember that engineers can access a full read-out of every system from the panel in the Engines section of the ship...

Any spots still open?

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Any spots still open?

Not at the current time, but I can put you on a list to have you take over one of the characters if someone drops out.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Good lord, where are the engineers that hadn't checked in?
