Posted by David Fergusson in OOC - Sim Update

So as you all are aware we had some outage on the site here the past day and halfish, hope everyone gets back up and running now without problems. Sim wise as you can all tell we wrapped things up and are in between sims. I’ve already plotted up some ideas for the next sim which you’ll all find below. As you know I try to run sims based on what the majority would like to see. So here’s two ideas I got worked up.

1) Field/stress testing of prototype technology/technologies in real world conditions
2) Academy or major colony school facility visit to do a show/tell/teach of your recent experiences (that you can all publicly talk about) and do Q/A with up and coming cadets

Let me know what you all think or got your own suggestions or ideas, this includes something you might like to see with these ideas which can help you with character development of your own.

Finally back!As for myself I might find the first difficult as technology is not quite my subject,though if I can run away maybe it won’t be so bad.......................

You yourself dont need to know the technobabble that will get explained all you DO need to do then is make up things within that techs scope of influence to stress test it in real world conditions that it would encounter in most cases. For example a new say bio bed scanner in sickbay you might run it through trying to scan hundreds of different samples you have on hand for different things or put a red shirt on it and see how well it details you torturing the poor guy :P etc etc point of it would be creative your like the beta testers for software on computers or cars or whatever. Even if you’re a doctor in trek you still got in character wise at least basic engineering backgrounds etc for your field of experience as we’ve all seen in the shows/movies.

Ok,I’ll do my best ~ marthese

Well done everyone for keeping within the posting limits despite the recent server outage. Our Merrimack board is all green and stands out among the reds on other ships.

Please let Robert know if you have some Sim ideas as he will listen and make it whatever you wish it to be. So please provide some feedback on the two ideas given, even if it is to say that you don’t like either of them.

In the meantime, in between Sims you are welcome to start side Sims, or to join the fancy dress party taking place. Use these side Sims to develop and flesh out your characters. Interacting with other characters in a social situation will make you ask questions about what your character would do that you would never have thought about otherwise.

I like the tech idea… especially if it’s something that somehow ties into the ship systems (so engineering, science, medical and even the bridge) may have issues if things “flicker”. <laughs> Always willing to help out with Sim ideas.
