- Promotion Policy and "Shift" Meaning -


_____________________________________________________________________
- ENTERPRISE PROMOTION POLICY -
_____________________________________________________________________
  • All mentioned time periods are *bare minimums* only!
  • All promotions will be considered on a character by character basis.
  • All promotions under the rank of Sub Commander are at the Commanding Officer's discretion.
  • Any crew member who asks/begs or otherwise for a promotion or award the request will go totally ignored and your promotion time remaining may be extended, promotions & awards are earned not requested.
  • Attendance - Attendance will be turned to points and split between sim attendance and logs.
  • Points - Points will be figured as follows:
    • A half point for attending the weekly IRC sim
    • A half point for submitting a weekly log

    The points will be capped to 3 extra points per week, equal to 5 extra logs, so as to still keep some time for each rank - i.e. no one will be able to go from Recruit to Commander in a week.

  • Promotions - Promotions will be figured using the minimum weeks in grade times 2. For example - An Ensign is required to have 6 week in grade until the minimum is met for Sub Lieutenant. This would be multiplied by 2 to get 12 points and so on.
  • Department heads will be required to take their department specific course and are encouraged to take the Senior Officers training before advancement to full Lieutenant.
  • Each officer and enlisted crewman will be required to take their department specific course from the academy to advance to Sub Lieutenant or crewman second class.
  • In addition department heads will be required to submit one quality log per week.
  • Unexcused Absences - Unexcused absences will result in one full point being added to promotion time. A grace period from sim time to Friday night at 10 pm EST will be given to send an excusal in. If a sim is missed due to an unexcused absence a half point can be earned if a log is submitted by the following sim.
  • Excused Absences - Anyone who has an excused absence will not have points added but will also not receive points for the week *unless* logs are submitted. It is possible to make up a sim by submitting two logs, each counting a half point.
  • Logs - All logs should be *at least* 1 page in length. If the 1 page minimum is not met no additional points will be deducted from the promotion time.
  • Departments - I'm going to be doing something kind of different here. Each department will be allowed 4 - 8 PC crewmembers, depending on the department, and any number of NPC's. Each department will be limited to 2 officers, one department head and assistant. From there the rest will be enlisted ranks to reflect a more military structure. The exception to this is fighter pilots will start as warrant officers. Squadron and/or Wing commanders will start as officers as will their XO's.
  • Squadron – I am going to open up a few more posts here but these will fall under support staff. The Squadron will still keep only 8 pilots however I am going to open up a crew chief and 3 fighter tech positions. The crew chief would double as the flight operations officer and report to the Squadron CO/XO.

- ENTERPRISE "SHIFT" EXPLANATION -
_____________________________________________________________________
The following is an explanation of the "shifts" used on the roster. This is purely an out of character, or out side of sim, set up and only used to help see where everyone falls. This *is not* meant to separate the crew in *any* way. All crew generally interact regardless of simming platform and no matter the "shift" you are not restricted to that only. You are, however, required to participate in at least your shift, ie. you can be on Alpha shift and be logging as well as live simming, but being on Alpha shift you have to attend the live sim(see promotion policy above for explanations in regards to absences etc.)
COMMAND SHIFT (CS) REQUIRED TO ATTEND BOTH IRC SIM AND LOG ON A WEEKLY BASIS
ALPHA SHIFT (AS) ATTENDS ONLY IRC SIM
BETA SHIFT (BS) LOGS ONLY
GAMMA SHIFT (GS) SIMMERS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND OR LOG REGULARLY(RARELY USED)
