Q: What species can I claim?
A: The only banned species are the Q (and other species like them) and the Borg. This is because these species are too strong, Q and similar life forms have basically god-like powers and the Borg go crazy with their adaptation abilities.
Q: Can I be a liberated Borg?
A: Though the Borg are banned, liberated Borg (ie Borg that are no longer part of the Collective) are allowed under the condition that the character not retain much of the abilities the Borg have (for example, their adaptivity). However, if one is going to RP a liberated Borg drone, we expect a over-the-top application.
Q: Can I make my own species?
A: Why yes, of course! Just be sure to provide a detailed description AND an image, or if your not going to use an image a very detailed description, and post an original species app.
Q: Can I post my Character app before the Original Species app?
A: Yes, but the administration will accept the Original Species app before your character app, so it might be wise to link to your original species app in the character app.
Q: I want to make my own interstellar empire!
A: You may not make your own interstellar civilization unless you get it cleared with the staff first. We can't have every person make a independent empire, and we can't have a gazillion nations around because things will get hard to keep track of.
Q: I don't want my character to be part of Starfleet!
A: Your character does not have to be part of Starfleet, or even of the Federation for that matter. You can be a Klingon Warrior aboard a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, or a Romulan on a Romulan Warbird, or perhaps you want to be a Ferengi Merchant, or maybe you want to be a raider or even a pirate! It's all allowed.
Q: Can I make my own organization?
A: Yes. As long as it's not an interstellar empire, you may as long as you put the necessary details for that organization in your character app. Perhaps you want to reborn the Maquis, or start a galactic trading company. Maybe you want to make a group of mercenaries, or a private corporation. It's all allowed, you just need to file the necessary paperwork so to speak.
Q: I want to join a custom organization but I didn't make it!
A: For that you will need to either check with the creator of the organization beforehand, or make a civilian character and then try to join it through RP.
Q: I want to command a starship!
A: The staff will open slots for new starships every so often. While we have no limit on the number of starships there can be, we don't want there to be fifty gazillion starships, and we also need people to RP the officers aboard a starship. These slots will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Q: Can a starship be of a custom class?
A: Yes, as long as it's not overpowered this is a yes. Just send a staff member a PM with a visual description AND an image, and it's technical specifications. And DON'T forget to name the class. Remember though, new Starships will be opened up by the staff when membership can account for them, so you can put in a custom class but that doesn't necessarily mean you can command a ship of that class immediately.
Q: How old can my character be?
A: Your character can be as old as you want it, just be realistic with your ages. For example 16 year old boy can't be the captain of a starship, he would still be in Starfleet academy, and a human won't live to be 200 years old.
Q: Yaoi/Yuri/Straight?
A: All pairings are allowed as long as you keep the board PG-13. We are an accepting bunch, and if your not accepting don't hate on these people. It doesn't matter what sexual orientation your character is.
Q: I want to RP as Picard/Sisko/Janeway/Kirk/Archer/insert-canon-character-name-here!
A:You are allowed to RP as any canon character that is alive in the post-Nemesis Star Trek universe. All other canon characters are not allowed.
Q: I want to RP a politician!
A: You are allowed to do so, but if you want to RP a major politician (for example, the President of the Federation or the Praetor of the Romulan Empire) we expect an amazing application.
Q: I want my character to have his own ship, can I request the administration make one?
A: Yes, you can, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be approved.
Q: Is there any way I can command a ship without admin approval?
A: If you want to settle for an extremely small vessels with a crew compliment of one (your character), not that much weapons, and only capable of low warp levels it's fine, but RP'ing something like that isn't advised as it will make some things very difficult.
Q: I want to RP a certain class of ship but it doesn't have the technical spects I want. Can I change it up?
A: You may not change it up and claim it is the original class. However, you may send an admin detailing what you want added, and it my or may not be allowed as a refit/retrofit of the vessel.
