SubSIM Policy

The following policy is designed to lay out the Trek Operations Division’s views on sub-SIMulations and how they must work in relation to main SIMulations.

A Sub-Simulations, also known as a SubSim, in many ways is a command training tool where the commanding officer of the Mother SIM is considered to be the mentor of the SubSIM CO. A SubSIM is at all times part of the main simultion. As a result the commanding officer of the mother SIM is responsible for the smooth running of the SubSIM.

SubSims must pass a formal proposal through their respective chain of command. In other words,  SubSimCO -> MotherSim CO -> Fleet Cmdr ->
Trek Command. Trek Command grants the final approval on all subsims. If development in the Federation Division is not open, subsims will
not be authorized.

Guidelines for SubSIMs

  • The mother SIM has to be a fully approved UCIP SIM.
  • CO of the SubSIM reports to the CO of the mother SIM in the Chain of Command.
  • No more than 10 SIMmers may be assigned to the SubSIM (including the CO) at anyone time. A Subsim must have 4 as a part of the mother simulation.
  • Approved Starbase and Colony Sims may have no more than three (3) SubSim’s assigned.
  • Approved Starship Sims may only have one (1) SubSim assigned.
  • Weekly SIM reports for the SubSIM are sent to the mother SIM, and incorporated into the mother SIMs SIM report to the Subfleet.
  • Website is required
  • R&D approval for the technical specs is required
  • CO of SubSIM has to complete the command course within 7 months of taking command of the subsim. (This requirement may be waived by Trek Operations, if the Command Course is unavailable when the CO of the SubSIM takes command.
  • The SubSIM is part of the mother SIM, so it will not have a separate database SIM account, the crew of the SubSIM is considered to be part of the mother SIM.
  • Recruitment is done through the mother SIM, the SubSIM will not have its own listing on the join page.
  • SubSims can have their own email list.
  • Promotions of officers on the SubSIM are subject to UCIP/Starfleet policy and the approval of the mother SIM CO (and Chain of Command if Senior Promotion)
  • If recruiting independently, the SubSIM CO has to make it clear that they are a SubSIM and which UCIP mother SIM they are part of. They should not be suggesting that they are a fully approved UCIP SIM.
