Yes. They are often the bane of every XO/CO/GM/FComm and all the other poor folks who have to fill them in.
Yes. They are probably the least exciting part of STF.
No. You can't just shove them under the carpet.
But! They're important and necessary - so why not make that experience a little easier!

The Engineering Department is currently hiring a contract position for Project Lead of the Newer New Navy Plan Project.

Ladies and Gents,

Over the last 48 hours, many of you would have noticed that STF was offline. This was due to WeBBspace causing too much load on the server. In order to be fair to other customers that shared the server, Pair decided to take WeBBspace offline. Unfortunately for us, there was no prior warning - just an email that was sent out when their system blocked access to WeBBspace.

Earlier today, WeBBspace was disabled by STF's web host. Further investigation by Jack Dipper and Larry Garfield determined that our host felt we were drawing too many CPU resources, and so to keep us from overloading the server blocked access to the directory where the code is stored.

Lets all congratulate Andy on a ship well written, and welcome our newest ship into the Technical Manual! The Original Series (TV Era) ship Governor Class Destroyer has passed through the gauntlet that is the Engineering Department review process, and finally received its green stamp of approval. Look for its entry in the Technical Manual soon. Congratulations Andy!

Jen
Engineering Director
