[NovaScotius]

All,

Ver' and I have been discussing the possibility of establishing some Fleet rules, which we feel will benefit our members individually, and as a group.

While we've got some key themes in mind, we're keen to have input from everyone in the Fleet - after all, every member will be bound by these rules, so it's only fair that we get as many people involved in creating them as possible!

Below, you'll see a list of general themes in Bold text, with specific sub-headings underneath. This will be an organic list, and will develop alongside members' input.



Activity

• Ensigns and Lieutenants who have not logged in for 60 days will be kicked for inactivity.
  
• Commanders and above who have not logged in for 90 days will be kicked for inactivity.
  
• If you are kicked for inactivity, but return to playing Star Trek Online, message an Admiral, and you will be reinstated to the fleet.
