Posted by Mike Bourdaa (STF President). And the activity in my office continues to rise.. <g>
Ok, as to the new ship, I would like to announce the following results of which fleets were willing, first, just as a summary:
Fleet 2 - Last resort
Fleet 3 - AOK
Fleet 4 - Yub Nub
Fleet 5 - (snoring)
Fleet 6 - No way, Jose.
Obviously, only one fair thing to do. Give it to fleet 5. <g>
Seriously, it will be in fleet 5, and the reason for this decision will be made crystal clear in the next few paragraphs

After several attempts to have Fleet Captain B.J Phillips contact me, all of which have failed, and seeing evidence of a long term decline in the FComm office of that fleet, I feel that I have no choice now but to replace FCapt Phillips in the 5th fleet. Effective immediately, he is dismissed from his cabinet post.
While I like B.J. as a person.. hell, he’s a great guy.. he has not lived up to the performance level that is required from a Fleet Commander. The FComm positions are the most important cabinet posts in STF - we can (and have!) survived in the past without an active IDept, GMDept, EDept, and even PDept.. but an AWOL FComm is a recipe for disaster.

With regards to the experimental ship, I would like to announce the selection of Nathan Miller to assume command of that vessel, which will be assigned to the Fifth Fleet. Concurrant with this announcement is a promotion to the rank of Captain.
[PART num=3]
I hereby appoint Captain Nathan Miller to become the new Fleet Commander of the 5th fleet, and empower him to select his own AFComm in whichever matter he sees fit. This appointment is effective immediately.
[PART num=4]
The new “fast” ship will be commissioned within the next couple of weeks. Before it goes online, the final proposal from Captain Miller will include the proposed class, and three name options.
[EDICT MODE=off]
Ok, now that I have lost my audience: Larry, the Yub Nub idea isn’t half bad. It will be considered when I next talk to Nate about the ship.

Ok, lets get back into our favorite creature, edict mode I am authorizing officially the commissioning of the USS Titania, Titania-Class, in Fleet Five, to become the “Daily Ship” under the command of Captain Nathan Miller
