==Welcome to your training equivalency exam. This is being offered due to your previous RPG experience.
This test will help you to learn the navigation of Federation Space, as well as test your ability to search for answers to common and not so common questions. Everything on this test can be found on the Federation Space wiki.
For the General Questions, all you have to do is give the answer. For the Site Navigation questions, you must give the answers as well as the page link where the answer can be found.
Lastly, there is a small essay section which you must complete before you graduate. In some ways, this is the most important part of the exam. You must demonstrate the ability to use what you have learned about our posting formats; third person past-tense perspective, italics, bolding, double spacing, proper spelling and grammar and open ended posting.
General Questions:
1. What is contained in a Standard Medkit?
⦁ A medical tricorder
⦁ Two hyposprays preloaded with up to six pharmaceuticals each.
⦁ A dermal regenerator
⦁ A tourniquet
⦁ Gauze
⦁ Other emergency equipment
2. What could be the possible effects of Dark Matter on normal space?
⦁ High concentrations of dark matter can create small gaps in the fabric of normal space. Normal matter passing through these areas can become momentarily phased in unpredictable ways, creating transient electrical currents similar to those created by a subspace distortion but without any trace of a subspace field.
⦁ Dark matter can also act to degrade the performance of sensors against normal matter, making dark matter nebulas a good choice for hiding oneself.
3. Where can you find important news for all site members?
⦁ Red Alert Area of the Forum, which includes the Admin Announcements, Monthly Points, Creative and Content Team, and Recruiting boards.
Located at: https://fed-space.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=23
4. Who, besides the Captain, can give direction in a plotline or subplot?
⦁ GM's and CO's are the originators of plots and subplots. First Officers are tasked with keeping players involved in plots and subplots in a satisfying way. DH Officers keep tabs on this process and ensure the Senior Leaders are aware if something is lacking.
5. Who currently commands the USS Artemis?
⦁ Captain Cassandra Givens
6. What is the highest security rating in Starfleet?
⦁ Rating 9 - Ultra Secret
7. What is the definition of a Type F plasma Torpedo?
⦁ The least powerful plasma torpedo, the Type F still packs a pretty good punch. This variation of the Plasma requires roughly the same amount of energy to arm as the photon torpedo. However, it takes approximately 33% longer to arm this weapon. Like all plasma torpedoes, it begins losing warhead strength the instant it is launched. A full strength strike yields twice the power of a photon torpedo. All plasma torpedoes lose 5% of their warhead strength for every 10,000km travelled.
8. List all player Starships currently used on Federation Space.
⦁ The Vesta Class USS Artemis, NCC-110000, The Ross Class USS Aquila, NCC-76853, The Luna Class USS Titania, NCC-88002, The Yeager-II Class USS Yeager, NCC-60097
9. Describe the “Sulu Loop”
⦁ Often referred to by pilots as "s-looping" or "slooping", the Sulu Loop is ideal for a ship quickly turning around and returning to the fight. The Sulu Loop involves banking the ship to one direction, before using attitude thrusters to rotate the ship 180° along its axis so ultimately it has changed its heading by 225°. Due to the stresses performed on the spaceframe during this maneuver, especially at greater velocities, it is not recommended to attempt this maneuver in anything larger than a Light Cruiser.
10. What class area will you find a chart of "Technobabble" terms?
⦁ In Game Problem Solving, located at: https://wiki.fed-space.com/index.php?tit..._He_Say.3F
11. Where are the rank abbreviations located?
⦁ Rank Explanation: https://wiki.fed-space.com/index.php?tit...xplanation
12. In what way is a Binary Star a twin?
⦁ A binary star is considered a "twin" because it is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to each other, meaning they orbit a common center of mass, essentially "circling" one another like twins would, making them appear as a pair in space; they are born together and share a similar origin, much like identical twins do on Earth.
13. How many points do you need for promotion to Lieutenant?
⦁ 7500
14. What type of star is the Sun in the Sol System?
⦁ Spectral Class G2V
15. Write an example of your introductory post when reporting in to your assigned ship. This post must contain all standard formatting as described above. This is an exercise in creative writing and we need to see what your writing abilities are like. 3-4 line posts are not acceptable and will be considered failing. We are looking for 3-4 good length paragraphs.
Good luck!==
