Posted on Thu Mar 29th, 2012 @ 7:03am by Commander Stormy O'Brien in Website Update
Greets Everyone,
I am working steadily on updating our website
http://ucip.org/sims/cortana
*HOME PAGE: New Image. New Ship.
*SHIP SPECIFICATIONS: They are short and quick to read.
*DECK LISTING: 24 deck Directory. DONE!
*SHIP DEDICATION PLAQUE: Is up.
*SHIPS TOUR: So far, Quarters, Recreation and Fitness are up under General Items. No tour images yet. We need to know which deck your quarters are on and what they are near.
IF YOU would really like something added to your department, for example: Medical asked for more biobeds and space. Someone has requested quarter improvements for their characters. First Force has barracks to set up...and their own conference room. So think it over and send your requests. Once Captain Chardan approves your requests, they will be added to the appropriate places on the website.
Lt Cmdr Viktor Draven will be assigning Quarters.
Cheers!
Stormy
