Edict #16
O bring back my Bonnie to me
After much discussion between the CO, XO, FComm, and myself, it has been decided that the SS Bonaventure is having significant problems maintaining a healthy role playing environment. Many theories as to why and many proposed plans of action have been discussed, and it is through these discussions that we have come to the following conclusions:
-
The SS Bonaventure is hereby decommissioned for a period of no less than 30 days from today. The Internet Department is instructed to leave the ship intact however, so that the FComm and CO may use her to house discussions or test ideas. No missions will be run during her decommission period.
-
During this decommission period, she will undergo the following changes in an attempt to revitalize her and fix the problems that are inherent to her design:
A. The charter will be rewritten to change the timeline in which she plays, along with other changes as discussed to be necessary.
B. The ship specs will be rewritten to reflect this change in time.
C. The crew will be completely cleared from the roster, and replaced after review from the CO.
D. A website will be created to explain the differences between role playing on the Bonaventure and role playing on a standard ship, including technology differences, a description of the era and current diplomatic relationships with other species, and a description of how Star Fleet is organized differently from Star Fleet as we know it in the 24th century.
- Once these changes have been implemented to the FComm’s and President’s satisfaction, the ship will be recommissioned under a new charter, with a new review date.
No one is happy that the Bonaventure has come to this, but everyone involved feels it is absolutely necessary in order to try and save the ship from being decomissioned indefinitely. I hope that anyone who is remotely interested in playing on an Enterprise Era ship supports her in the future, and helps her to remain a part of Star Fleet.
Godspeed to the crew of the Bonaventure; may she find herself healthy again in the near future.
