On "The Ship" page you will find the link "Ship Tour". It has been updated with Quarters discriptions and pictures. Stellar Cartography, Science Labs.

Nebula Class images are difficult to come by where it was necessary I've used pictures from simular crafts.

We are trying to make the site useful to you.

(These rules take effect 2/21/10)

Attendence:

All in all, we have a great attendance record. I would like to request that if you know for sure, or even have a suspicion that you will not be here, please contact someone. Call them to relay the message, sign onto the Cortana website, send a personal email. Somehow, as soon as you know or think you will miss, let me know. I plan storylines based on who will be here; if you aren't going to be here, I can work around that.
If you miss a SIM, and don't let someone know beforehand, or a member of the command crew within 24 hours afterwords, you will receive an unexcused. Three unexcused in six months, and disciplinary action will be taken.

First time: A verbal warning

Second time: A second verbal warning

Third time: An In Character Demotion.

Fourth (and last time): Being removed from the sim

When you request to be excused, just a short explanation is all that is needed. ie: I will not be at the sim on Sunday, I have something to do with my family. ie: I have to work. ie: I am sick.
To be counted as attending the sim, you must attend at least 30 mins. This is 50%. So if you are late, or have to leave early, try to be there for at least 30 mins.

Last, but not least. We understand that sometimes you have no way of knowing if your cable/internet service will go down and keep you offline. If this is the problem, this counts as an excused absence. You cannot control things such as this.

PARTICIPATION IN LOGGING:

We are an IRC sim and logging is optional...sort of. If someone sends you a log and you don't wish to participate, please notify them and let them know this. Don't leave them hanging, wondering what is happening. If I tell a particular set or dept to log, I expect a log. If you don't like someone, too bad. Get over it and log. I am not asking you to be their best friend, I am telling you, as the Captain, that in order for a section of storyline to be done, YOU HAVE TO LOG. If you as a group or dept prefer to meet and do it in real time, so be it. Otherwise, you have one week to finish the log.

New Rule: You MUST log with each person in the sim at least once every six months. It can be a simple duty log, an R&R log, or something else. If you make an attempt to log, and you get no answer, contact me and I will either excuse it, or take care of it.

EXAMS/COURSES

In order to participate in a sim, you MUST take the Basic Course and preferably the course related to your department. Any other courses are at your discretion. If you have a character, or another name on another sim, make sure you let us know when you take a course, and you will get credit for the course. Vice versa, when you take a course thru us, you can let them know and you will get credit.

MISC:

If you are uncertain of something, ask a member of the command crew. If they don't have an answer immediately, they will find out for you.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Cortana.

February 7th due to that great American holiday - Superbowl Sunday...there's no SIM.

GO SAINTS! GO SAINTS! GO SAINTS! Whoot -Whoot! GO SAINTS!
