Formatting Your Sims The Veritas SIM format corresponds with that used in the academy and detailed in Tutorial #1. The differences between the Invicta and the rest of the fleet are detailed in this section. Subject LinesHere on the Veritas, we commonly use abbreviations to indicate a location at the beginning of a subject line.

If an acronym for a planet doesn’t exist, we’d make it up and try to use it consistently throughout the mission. If you're the first one to sim in a certain location, be bold! Make up your own location header! If there are multiple scenes going on in one location, we add a three letter abbreviation to further specify where. For instance, [V-SIC] for the Veritas's sickbay or [V-ENG] for Main Engineering. A typical subject line for a sim on the Veritas will look like [Location Abbreviation] Character Rank and Name: Sim Title For example:
You do not need to specify if the character is an NPC, PNPC, or MSPNPC in the subject line. If a sim is particularly long or you are writing a joint post with someone else, split the sim into two parts and label them in the title:
