FLIGHT CERTIFICATIONS (FCx)

Knowing the helm is extremely important to survival in our modern world. Almost every player should know the basics of piloting a ship in order to fully take advantage of what Starfleet has to offer.For UFP Merchants, the FCm will be designed to give a new merchant all the information needed to get to flying and making money as fast and safely as possible.

For Starfleet, the FCs are important as they are the backbone to being able to self-transport, patrol, and ultimately command a vessel in combat.

FC1 is considered basic training and should be sought out by ANY Starfleet personnel that want to be entrusted to piloting a vessel at any time in ASpace. Consider the FC1 as a learner's permit that allows you, under supervision, to practice helm under real conditions.

FC2 is designed to be the standard helm certification; FC2s are expected to be able to navigate successfully without fail, avoid navigation hazards, aggressively prosecute a target when odds are favorable, and tactically withdraw should the odds be unfavorable. If your career is Flight Control or Command and you do not have FC2, you should seriously consider this certification. If you are a Department Head and you do not have FC2 you may missing out an important bonus for command responsibility.

FC3s are expected to know advanced combat flight control and should be expected to aggressively fight to win even and understrength battles. FC3s should also understand proper use of cloak for scouting and for combat operations.

FC-Ts should be mentors that understand the importance of excellent piloting and can teach the basics to new crewmen and teach the latest tricks to experienced pilots.

Typically it meant officers but frequently it has meant any member of Starfleet can perform these functions. The Diplomatic Certification is designed to give members of Starfleet the tools to successfully accomplish this charter.

DC1 is the basic qualification for any Starfleet member to conduct official UFP contact with any empire. You are expected to have a basic knowledge of all UFP regulations and law as well as basic etiquette and communications. Holders of the DC1 are also expected to know who to contact for additional diplomatic support.

Command Certifications (CCx)

Each level is a significant achievement and signifies hard work and perserverence. In addition to the prereq certifications, there are rather elaborate simulations that exercise more than your basic flight skills. Add to that a Board of Review for each CC that will vet the demeanor and disposition of each person aspiring to command. The Command Certifications are supposed to be hard. We should congratulate people than earn them and we should look to them for leadership when things get serious.

CC1 is the basic qualification for a Department Head. You are expected to have a basic knowledge of all ship systems and the ability to take the ship on patrol and fight a defensive battle against an even foe.

CC2 is the standard Commanding Officer certification that COs and XOs might have. CC2s are expected to have advanced knowledge of all ship systems and be able to take a ship into a combat situation at any time against any (reasonable) foe. They are expected to understand the nuiances of defending an fixed location as well as disabling and directing the boarding of threat vessels.

CC3 is a cert that may/should not be used often. If there is ever a need for a Fleet Captain or Commodore commanding a large expeditionary force, then this is the cert. CC3s will have trainer level skill and experience in all operational departments and show the ability to direct multiple ships in an advanced defensive or offensive operation.
