Hello,
I am writing to get your feedback on something I’ve been mulling over for some time.
The Leviathan has been limping along for over a year now. As a self-sim ship, progress depends entirely on the crew writing Anomaly sims — and interest in doing so has largely dried up. Without that engagement, we’ve been drifting without meaningful forward progress.
For this reason, I am strongly considering decommissioning the ship. That said, I value your input and would genuinely like to hear your thoughts before making any decision.
Please reply by Wednesday, April 22, 2025.
Thank you,
Ryan

Commanding Officer U.S.S Leviathan

I just got here to the ship, I don’t want it to go, but I see your point, I have a post to check in with the counselor and have yet had a response.

I understand that this must be hard for all of us. As I have already given my 2 cents to Ryan earlier about it yesterday. I maybe heartbroken that this ship has gone down the way she has been through a lot. My first time with a different character on board the Leviathan, was under the command of Sharon Miller. And after a while, I haven’t been on board as of late which of course I have seen more people around 6 years ago than today. Which also hurts me to say that it will be hard for even for not just me or you guys but also Ryan. Trying to keep this ship afloat is not easy. It also, hasn’t been easy not having an executive officer to actually help him out and for that as I have been trying my hardest to engage here as much as I have, I’ve stepped up as Chief Operations Officer to do the department head check ins see where everyone was at before but also, give suggestions in character to Ryan. So I understand how difficult this maybe. However, I can’t speak for all of us.

I, for one, would like to keep the ship going.

I suppose the questions I have are, what do we need to do to get activity levels back up? What level of activity are we looking for? And what are the barriers preventing us from achieving that level?

For example, I already have a a couple ideas for side sims to generate some interaction with other officers, but im not sure that helps with the main Sim.

I know this is a self sim ship, but I am under the impression that we can’t just run wild when it comes to the main Sim. I feel like there are still points where we need to stop and wait for inputs from you as the Captain. Not that that is or has been a barrier for me… i am just explaining my thought process to ensure were all on the same page.

If I am wrong in that, please let me know. A lot of us are new, so we may be missing things that are obvious to veteran STF players.
