That means keeping everyone involved, and being flexible and creative when writing sims. Diplomacy is just as important: the entire crew should feel comfortable approaching the CO, and the CO should be trusted to be fair and impartial when resolving conflicts." -- Rear Admiral John M. Styre, USS Lothlorien

Styre, USS Lothlorien "1) Patience. There will be the one (or more) crew members, whether old to the organization or new, that will try a CO's patience. 2) Flexibility. Although a great deal of us would like to have certain actions happen at certain times, there are times where you have to throw your play book to the wind and be flexible with the sim plot and where it's going. Changing a plotline while in the middle of the plot is a sometimes necessary evil. 3) Showing pride in your crew. While most of my simmers were new on the Lexington when I took over the center chair, and there was many flubbers, and getting used to the techno-babble. I was always proud of them and how far they have come. 4) Love of the game. This is probably one of the biggest... if you're not in love with it still, wanting to come online and have an adventure, then it maybe time to take to the sidelines and recharge the batteries. Being a CO is a thankless job, that's why you have to love being it." -- Fleet Captain Robb Clemens II, retired "Experience and knowledge. One must have the experience of all the posts to not only know what they do, but how to incorporate them into the sim. One must be able to use what they know and apply it to the sims from what they learned and what they know from Trek shows and books. Another and very important element a person must have is the ability to create and weave a story. They have to use all the story elements and involve a theme to make a better and deeper story in the sim. One must also know how to connect A to B and B to C to not only have the story make sense, but to have a deeper and tighter story." -- Captain Will Styles, retired
