How is the interface confusing?  Elaborate and I should be able to help you.

Might as well introduce myself-  I'm Shazam, Adjudent of the Training your about to receive, Wing Commander of the Wing you'll probably be put in, and Squadron commander of the squadron you'll probably compete against...  (Nice, huh?)

Anyways, I'm sending you a message through e-mail and message center which will basically tell you what to do.  Direct any questions or information here, in this post.

(Note, I'm moving this topic to the Naval Academy threads.)

Welcome to the VEN.

It might simply be the fact that I'm trying to manage 2 SW online games at the same time (This, plus SWC), but there are some things that should be fixed:

1. The stats of a weapon should be placed somewhere on the description page. Not everyone has a D20 rulebook, and this results in confusion as to which starting weapon to buy (the DL-54 automatic fires faster than a DL-44, but by how much??? and how much damage does each do?)

(that's the only thing that I find for now)

A couple of questions:

1. How do you access the RP foums, or whatever forum that had been set up for RPing?

2. How does the GM of a scenerio roll dice? (that has always been a problem of online RP games)

FYI: this is not a game. We role play through writing stories. each new recruits come with standard equipment. all the things that you can buy in the ICS are optional and additional items that you can use in your story.

I actually used to do SW Combine, but never really got it down so I quit.  Did all the test and everything...  Man, that crap took forever.  I can tell you right now that my good man, Will is indeed very correct.  This is not anything like SW Combine and it is not a game in the same way you think.  We play or compete by writing stories by use of characters that we create and who are imperial pilots by default.  It is your job to create this character and make them into something for the VEN, thus we give you a shop to find useful items to go along with your character and the stories.

So, first off, if you'd like to continue, you need to go on ahead and read my message that I sent through both message center and e-mail.  it will explain exactly what it is you must do.  The best to you.

Ok, here's my Bio:

Name: Darren Alphite
Callsign: spacespeed9
Age: 20
Height: 6'1
Weight: 135 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Place of Birth: Aboard the space station Imperial Hammer

Darren Alphite was born aboard the space station Imperial Hammer.  His parents, who were freightor pilots for a wealthy shipping company, originally moved to this space station because their home planet was contaminated when there was an accident at an Imperial research lab. Because his parents were away often, he developed the ability to take care of himelf with the miminmal assistance of droids. When he was finished with his studies everyday (he was taught by a combination of droids and holo-books), he liked to hang out at the hangar and talk with the TIE pilots and the occasional freighter pilot which came to unload supplies, etc. When he was old enough, he signed up for the Imperial Navy, in order to get the expereince that he could need for future jobs.

He is optimisic, but can see the reality of things sometimes.Always somewhat humble (not the type to argue with a commanding officer)

Thats about as bad as when I first started, you might want to elaborate a little more throw in a few little stories, I based mine on my life with a little embelishment even though mine is still bad.

Welcome back.  As for your bio- I beleive you received a message form me entailing all that you must do before going on to the bio and the aviator's exam.  Those should be completed before you continue, but I'll go on ahead and let you know what I think.

Your character has almost no history whatsoever- that's a problem.  Please don't give me the 'he's a mysterious type' speech, cause that's not ganna quite work with how little information you've given.  Who are his parents?  Why was he on that space station?  Were his parents in the Navy then?  Besides obvious history, how was he educated?  Who did he grow up with?  You can pick and choose what you'd like to tell us, but the more you give, the more we can tell about you or atleast give some description of your actions and maybe why they are that way.  Besides history- you need an emotional description.  Is he happy, sad, negligent, bombastic, or humble?  A combination?  And why? 

I'll let you think about it- but help us explain you.  You will be working with a group, so you can't just keep things from people.  Let us in a little.  Report back when your satisfied with your bio and would like me to reasses it.

Updated, not sure if good enough or not. And I submitted the basic training thing (overlooked it in the first place).

Also, you should have some kind of validation for the basic training form. I accidently was able to submit with a name of s and an empty email. Would make whoever's doing this 's job a lot easier.

So you've completed the Aviator's exam as well?  Or were you just referring to the VEBAT?  And we'll add that comment to the list of other things we need to improve on   Lemme know.

Alright then- you still need to complete the Aviator's then, lol.  And it looks like we're running out of space for new recruits...  Whoa.  Hrm- time to consult the NHC.  Keep rockin.

About space: maybe I can buy my own ship or something and not be a part of a squadron.

Then you wouldn't be in the Navy now would you?  I suppose you could ask to be put in reserves or something- although you're still not in active duty- and then you'd just do you're own post.  You wouldn't be corresponding with others whatsoever.  Lemme know when you're done with that Aviator's Exam.

By the way, another glitch for the aviator's exam: If you don't fill in a squadron, the error box says:

                The following things need to be filled in:

                  -Date (It's supposed to be squadron)



Edit: Clearing things up a bit

Congratulations- you've been placed in Aegis squadron.  Report to the Aegis thread to let your commander's know you've arrived.  The best to you.
