The ''Veritas'' adheres to the fleet standard of an average of '''3 sims a week/12 sims a month''' to be considered a full-time player. You are of course welcome to sim more than twelve times a month, but a minimum of twelve sims should be for your primary character (PC), a missions-specific NPC (MSNPC), and/or a mission-relevant personal NPC (PNPC). Simming for PNPCs or NPCs that aren't directly related to the mission or its subplots (i.e., not involving other players) may not count toward your full-time status if you find yourself relying upon them.

If you have difficulty simming at that pace, please contact the captain to be placed as a part-time simmer. The requirement for part-time simmers is an average of '''2 sims a week/8 sims a month'''.

Unfortunately, we have found from experience on the ''Veritas'' 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.'''

Your sims should come from the perspective of your characters and drive the story forward. Descriptions (:: Susan saw the really neat thing. ::) and thoughts (oO I wonder if she'll notice me. Oo) that originated in sims for other characters should always be removed and the events of the sim presented from your characters' perspective.

Our content rating aboard Veritas 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 Veritas.
