Posted on Sat Jul 11th, 2020 @ 9:09am by Second Mate Colleen Branagan in General News

Hello, Small Crew!

I don't know who pays attention to the Theta Fleet Awards, but we brought some home for June! Some very nice ones, in fact. It's no secret that we are a tiny crew, and struggle to fill positions. Nevertheless, we've been working hard, and the awards are the kudos we receive for that work.

We are in Theta Fleet, Task Force 23, Group C.

We received the honorary Gold Unit of Distinction for Task Force 23. This is based on sim activity, usually number of posts. However, we've been working hard and upping our post counts so that for the month of June, we actually had 15 posts, and 3.75 posts per sim member! That was a huge increase for us, and a very respectable post per player.

We also received the TGCO Award of Merit for Task Force 23-C.

We were further recognized in the Quarterly Awards for second quarter. We were awarded Sim of the Quarter for Task Force 23: "With only three players, the sim has been incredibly active this quarter and deserves recognition for sticking with it."

Yay for us! And kudos for all the hard work our fearless leader led us through!

I have great news...

We have my good friend Stephen returning! Welcome back, we haven't gotten too far but we have players now, and are ready to go.

For our return to form and site revisions we got an award from Theta Fleet, an attaboy if you will ;)

Please continue to report ideas for site revisions, or broken portions. I am still making fixes, always working on the site...

Thanks for being great, look forward to seeing everyone back!

» Khitomer Conference Returns

Posted on Thu Jan 30th, 2020 @ 7:57pm by Second Mate Colleen Branagan in General News

From Theta Fleet Command:

On February 22, the second annual Khitomer Conference will be held on Discord. It’s a day of presentations by simmers for simmers about various aspects of summing from running a game to character development to what formats are available.

Everyone is welcome to attend. It will run all day beginning at 3 PM GMT. All fleets and star trek simmers are welcome.

To see the schedule, go to: Project Khitomer

I think there’s a link to the Discord channel on the website. If not, any of us on Discord can share it.

Commander, Theta Fleet

» Update from the OOC XO

Posted on Sat May 4th, 2019 @ 6:51am by Second Mate Simon Starr in Out of Character

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since either the captain or I posted any updates on things. It's been relatively quiet on our end, however, that doesn't mean nothing is happening.

Firstly, we've now finally left the space station and are on our way with our mission - more of this in the mission posts. We've also got a few sub-plots that people should be able to join in with if they wish.

Secondly, we are always looking to boost the crew - so feel free to spread the word so we get some new crewmembers writing. Finally, as an XO looks out for the crew - I might not be the IC XO, but I'm still here for anyone that has any problems or questions - feel free to drop me a message, I'll usually get back pretty quickly.

Hello everyone, hope the summer break has gone well for all of you! We have had some site issues, so we paused for a bit while the updates all took place, and we also took a few vacations as well.

The site is updated, we are back up and running, and for our patience we were awarded the TGCO Award of Merit! I will get this added shortly to the wall.

For now, we have posts with Tags waiting to resolve them! Let's get back to it, and get on with our mission.

We have a new player who isn't being engaged in posts, please add Simon Starr to a post, no matter what it is, so we can get some screen time for the new guy :)

Have a great day everyone, see you ... out there.
