Ok we need to do some work on our wiki pages few new and older members. We have our basic academy information page http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Stormtrooper_AcademyWe have our Specs page http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Army_Specialization_ProgramWe have our massively out of date http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Category:Army_Training_CenterAnd we have the http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Character_Creation_Guidelines going on between the two divisions. Now have a look at the navy side: http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Basic_Traininghttp://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Flight_School_(FS)They've very good and very concise and I feel we need something similar. What I'd like to do is to have: A main academy front page the outlines the academy process. The Army Training centre should be linked from there and lead to the following resources: The character creation guide which outlines the VE and its species (above). The character wiki guide : http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Character_Page_TutorialA page explaining basic information and army ID lines. Similar to: http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Basic_Training and http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/ATCRecLess3The basic army information http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Category:Basic_Army_InformationOur academy pages are a complete mess at the moment compared to the Navy, lets try and sort them out! See the main comnet where several navy members have offered advice on what to do!

Also the specs pages, there are plenty that need completing still!
They are barely being used at the moment. Would you all prefer a system where we give out "Spec Coins" (for lack of a better term) from SLs and above for good work. So about one coin for ten quality posts or for helping out a new recruit etc and these could be spent against specialities?
The navy method seems to be working, but I'm loathe to attach specs to rank, I'd rather they were a reward in of themselves.

I'm willing to work on this. So if anyone else is interested, we can get together on IRC and hash out some pages. Or you can pm me about it, whichever works 
Edit: Didn't see Raz's second post before I posted.
The term "Spec Coins" seems a little off. Dunno if it is just me though. I think there needs to some kind of incentive other than that. Maybe completing specs unlock certain equipment that could then be used in a story, such as a Combat Engineer being granted the use of explosives that can be used once during a story (can't remember if CE is a spec under the new system, but I was familiar with it) ValthirAcolyte of the Dark Jedi Order Privateer of the Osk Company Assistant Squad Leader of Blackjack Squad ASL/SGT Valthir/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE TRN/Acolyte Valthir/Lopen/DJO/VE

The main spec branches already unlock equipment, check them out.
The issue is with how to award specs, as much as the reward they get LTC/Raziel/1PLT/1COMP/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE/(WoS1)(VP1)(VP2)(SC) [BoA][EW1][CDS][IH][GC][RoT][IG][SoS][GroM][PoC][CoH] ARC Commander: Alpha, Beta Squads "God does not play dice with the universe" - Albert Einstein "Who are you to tell God what to do with his dice?" - Bohr "God does not play dice with the universe.

Still on the reward for specs side. What about tying in promotions? Not in a "You finish a spec, you get promoted" deal, but as a "If you do well enough on your specs, there is a good chance you will get promoted." thing. Having the reward of a promo be possible rather than mandatory may get people to not only do specs, but actually put time and thought into then rather than just throwing them up in a mad bid to get free promos (exaggerated a bit, I know) ValthirAcolyte of the Dark Jedi Order Privateer of the Osk Company Assistant Squad Leader of Blackjack Squad ASL/SGT Valthir/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE TRN/Acolyte Valthir/Lopen/DJO/VE

I've known for quite some time that the Academy Wiki had to be updated and have tried to update it ,however I was unsuccessful and have been too busy as of recently to try and undertake something on that kind of scale a second time.
Whomever's working on that project, if you could please PM me, I'd like a few things on there |

Greetings, all.
Just thought I'd pop over and offer any assistance I can; I've been giving the VENA wiki pages a facelift lately (not alone, of course) - as linked above - and if you want an outside perspective or just another brain to bounce ideas off of while you do a similar thing for the Army, just know I'm around and inclined. Very pleased to see the Divisions working together on some timeline/canon overview stuff, as well. 
Good luck with the updates!
