Bravo Fleet
CO's Application Form

  1. **Only current BF members that have been active for 3 months or more are eligible to command in Bravo Fleet**
  2. All Player Candidates must review the Bravo Fleet Rules. New Ship and Starbase commanders will attend the Bravo Fleet Academy Command class to learn rules, command tips, recruiting tips, website construction tips, and more. Failure to follow the game's rules could mean removal from the game and your name (including what you did to be removed) added to the 'BBL'  so all COs know not to add you to their simms.
  3. Command Applicants, please be sure you apply for the ship and class you really want. Once you take command, you accept it 'as is', ship's name, class, and all. So don't ask for a transfer to another ship or to change the name unless you have a VERY good reason. Reason being, people changing ships, classes, and/or names all the time is tough on logistics, causes problems, and too many headaches.
  4. To be fair to all players, remember the rule, 'one player = one command at a time' Anyone filling out applications for command of more than one ship will not be considered for command for that reason. Also, each player is limited to 5 characters in Bravo Fleet. Remember, this is a game, so let's give everyone a turn.
  5. Fill out this application completely and include a COMPLETE email address. Remember, a good application is the key to selection.
  6. If you resign from command you can't command again for 90 days' guideline, which hasn't been enforced before. So, from hence forth, this rule will be enforced, and slightly rewritten. It'll probably state, 'If you resign as a CO, inform your TFCO and hand over your crew roster (names, ranks, addresses, positions). Do not send that info to the COs list. You have 1 week to retract your resignation, but after that week, if you don't retract it, you will be unable to command again in BF for 90 days, allowing someone else to step up and command and giving you time to decide if you want to return or not. Sending your resignation to the COs list will add another 90 days. We ask you not to announce your resignation of the COs list. Many COs have expressed they do not wish to receive this. It also looks bad to new COs. If you wish to say goodbye to fellow COs, email them one on one after you tell your TFCO.

Your answers will be judged by the TFCO the ship you are applying for is in. If, after review, he feels that you are not qualified, he will suggest you take a position as ship XO, Department Head, or Command Intern for further training before you attend Command Class. If he finds you are ready for command he will assign you to a ship and you'll be entered into Command Class. Every opportunity for success is afforded the candidate.
