Unfortunately, we have found from experience on the ''Invicta'' and other ships in the fleet that those who cannot sim at least twice a week are unable to keep up with the story in an enjoyable fashion for either them or their fellow players. People tag them less, and then they feel they have less to contribute to, and it becomes a vicious cycle. If your real life circumstances have changed, please let us know, and we can try to find a solution, which may include taking a '''leave of absence.''' | Unfortunately, we have found from experience on the ''Invicta'' and other ships in the fleet that those who cannot sim at least twice a week are unable to keep up with the story in an enjoyable fashion for either them or their fellow players.

Our content rating aboard Invicta is equivalent to the Motion Picture Association of America's '''PG-13 rating'''. This is content that may not be suitable for those under the age of 13 yet not so explicit as to be rated R (restricted). PG-13 is what the last four ''Star Trek'' movies (''Nemesis, Star Trek/2009, Into Darkness'', and ''Beyond'') as well as ''Star Trek: First Contact'' were rated. Basically, if you wouldn't see it on one of the ''Star Trek'' television shows or in a ''Star Trek'' movie (such as excessive swearing, explicit sexual situations, or graphic violence), then it should not be simmed aboard Invicta. | |||
