Posted by Sharon Miller in Question for the candidates - X-Fleet
This is a question for all candidates.

As the current Supervisor of Experiments, I’ve been disappointed to serve the majority of my time in the role with an empty X-Fleet. There have been several great concepts floated to me but, so far, none of them have managed to gather the requisite five players for an official application. This has surprised me for a couple of reasons:
1. 2020 was a landmark year for X-Fleet with our first ever transitioning of an X-Ship into the main fleets. So I’d been hoping that might encourage more players to get involved with this side of the club and try out their own ship.
2. Daniel had an excellent suggestion for an ‘X-Fleet Classifieds’ section to assist in finding players for concepts (and concepts for players) and I was happy to implement that some months ago now. But it is yet to pull in the attention that I was hoping it might.

So my questions for the candidates are:

1. How do you personally see X-Fleet fitting in with the rest of the club going forwards?
2. Do you have any plans or ideas as part of your campaign to generate more interest in X-Fleet from the membership at large?

Thank you all in advance for your time. As always, depending on your responses, I may have follow-up questions.

I’m going to Hijack and add another question here, “Do you think X-Fleet could and should be used to train future GMs in an environment that will allow them to more willingly explore and train?”
