: Alt RPGs don't need to use this format, as the "problem" is standard "we don't have this type of ship", as is the solution "we should commission this type of ship". We still need a discussion about if the club actually wants this ship. Harley asked how to start that discussion and I suggested either free form, like Cordell did, or dropping the charter in. Either way you have the idea and can discuss the merits. I've already weighed in a few cents on this in email, so I'd like to see if there are comments from any other members before making public commentary myself.

You make it sound like I'm creating red tape - that is not my intention. I am, however, concerned at just how easy it appears to be to create an Alt RP.

To that end, I am now going to ask you this: what is the process and criteria for an Alt RP being approved? How does this process aim to avoid situations where the Alt RP fails (e.g. 403rd Platoon).

I know this discussion has been raised on multiple occasions by both myself and Larry, but I am getting to the point where I would quite like a definitive answer rather than 'oh, it's something the club wants'.

Thanks,

Jack
