Today I was informed of some great and at the same time sad news. This morning I woke up to an incoming subspace message. My guess was it was our new orders. In a sense it was. I'm to be promoted at the end of next week, which was great news, but on the other hand they were taking away the Mexico. When I asked why Admiral Quinn said that, while the Mexico is a great ship, she is limited, and we feel that someone with your record needs a ship that can be more flexible. Funny he says I need something more flexible, and it is because of my record. The Mexico is what made me achieve the record. She had to be flexible to survive on the Klingon Front, and shes been flexible here on the Romulan boarder. I guess I should be happy, it is a bigger, faster, and more powerful ship. I just don't know how I'm going to explain it to my crew members, more or less my officers. We have called this ship home for a long time now, and the crew, from my first officer to the lowest crewman have all become a family. Kephyz my chief engineer is going to be disappointed, and that is not even a strong enough word for for it. This ship was his baby as much as it was mine. He knew every part of the ship like the back of his hand. He took so much pride in the warp core that he would tune it himself, even when the newest recruit could do the same job.
In truth it is going to be hard for all of us, some of us will stay, most will go on to the new ship. I just don't know how to break it to them. The good news is I have two weeks to do it, and we have one last mission together. So to one of the finest ships in the fleet. USS. MEXICO NCC-93310 Vesper Class. San Francisco Fleet Yards.
one thing that I feel is missing is a Captain's log section. A place where the players can write their RP logs, or any fan fiction about this game. Also don't say Ten forward, that place is over run with all sort of tomfoolery, drinking games, and I think a thread about the last person to post wins, or something like that. So I would like to see a place called the Captain's log on the forums for the captains to write about their captain. simple as that.
Thought that was part of what Ten Forward was for. Though really, my opinion, there should be a full and separate section for RP stuff... keep it apart from the off-topic stuff.

that is what Ten forward is for, but if you go over there is all full of silly stuff, not a place for captain's logs. the problem with ten forward is they mixed off topic with RP and it comes out in a bad way.
If it was making the RP section a new place, maybe... The Ready Room?
I like the Ready Room idea. that's a good name for it. ( well I'm going to kind of be here kind of not. I have that last mission with the Mexico to do, then I need to get promoted to my new ship. The USS Leopard NCC-99065 Built at Eridani-A, and launched 2377. Cheyenne class. ( but this is OCC so my captain doesn't know the name of the ship yet. )
I would love a more RP orientated forum. As noted Ten Forward has become long removed as usable for such a thing. (But leave them alone! Love the positive energy there.)
I'm assuming you already know about being able to write in your actual Captain's log through the main site.

Yes in fact I added this one to it, but it's hard to share your stories with people.
I agree that Ten Forward has too many "other" topics to really work as an RP center.
I also like the idea presented here.
I do just want to point out that ... we do have the ability to write our captain's logs either in-game or directly from the web-site using the My Characters functionality. You can add new logs right there.
And keep adding supplementals in game if you need more space?
So the functionality for captain's logs does exist.
But I wouldn't reject the idea of a more trek-focused RP area for the forums. So, you know, carry on.

i know you can write in game captain logs, but where is the fun, it would be nice to have a place to share stories.

Well, you CAN go to the Database and see other peoples' logs. But like I said, that's a lot of sifting through the endless drivvel of the automated logs.

Personally, I'd say Ten Forward should be for the RP stuff, and make the off-topic section with a new title, Shore Leave.
I would switch it around, let ten forward stay the way it is, ( because it would be hard to make people move ) and just make a new section.
