Well, I've been hammering out some details for renovating the roster with the squadron commanders and flight leaders, and now that I have some free time and we've all decided it'll work ok, I've completed the first stage.
The first stage of the roster renovation was to construct many new nodes and sub-nodes on the roster and replicate much of the information that as already on the roster in a different and, I think, more organized form. Right now it looks a little chaotic, but thats becuase I haven't done stage two yet.
Stage two, which will probably happen tomorrow, will involve me going through and deleting the older redundant nodes and forming the NHC node and its subnodes.
A few small notes:
A) While many of you may be on the roster in more than one place, you are not being paid double. I've discoverd that the roster system will only pay you once per position. These redundant positions on the roster will be gone by tomorrow afternoon anyway.
B) I had wanted the main squadron entries to read something along the lines of "2nd Vast Imperial Starfighter Group: Nazgul Squadron" but discovered that there is a character limit. This form will still be the most proper and formal form, but due to the character limit I shortened "Vast Imperial" to simply "VE" so that the last few letters of the word squadron would fit for all of the squadrons instead of for just Kaph Squadron (Kaph Squadron's name was exactly the character limit).
C) If you notice ANYTHING that is on the old portion of the roster but not on the new portion yet AND that DOES need to be preserved in your opinion, please post a note about it here so that I may make sure that we don't lose any records. I'm pretty sure I got everything, but double checking never hurt anyone. Well, not much anyway.
Finally, a text file:
Some of you may be familiar with the
Order of Battle. The Order of Battle is a listing of all of the major ships that compose the Vast Empire's two main fleets. I stumbled across these in an older version of the webpage and took it upon myself to rebalance them and rename a few ships. During this process I also decided that the VE's wings of starfighters would consist of 3 squadrons rather than the traditional 6, mostly to allow us more expansion flexibility. The first fleet has a grand total of 99 starfighter squadrons in 33 wings and the second fleet has a total of 96 squadrons in 32 wings. Of course, only one wing has actual members in it right now, all of the others are full of NPCs. The tail end of the text file lists how many starfighters can fit into a given capital ship.
So anyhow, thats all, make sure to check out the newer portion of the roster and let me know if anything needs major changing. Also I'd like more feedback on whether or not you all think its easier to read, or about the same or worse. Its not too late to go back if everyone hates it (though from an administrative point of view, a lot of things are easier to find :P).
