So one thing I noticed, speaking about the squadron. Did we ever decide where they were going to be? For example for the squadron's ships are they stored in the main shuttlebay or do they have their own bay and where is it?

That answers everything, thank you for clarifying. TBH I was figuring the switch was being made because of inactivity but wanted to know a little bit more before we got to the next chapter. That way none of us are taken by surprise when you come forward as the XO and gives us time to figure out a way to write deuZige's character off.
All good on the character-switch. It's good to know that actions are being taken for when people are not keeping up with participating in the role play.
I think that would be a good idea on the squadrons in case deuZige stays inactive.

As far as I know, the Sovereign class has two shuttlebays, which are both used for shuttles. I guess that they'll just have to squeeze in with our other auxiliary craft!

Makes perfect sense and totally agree with the need for an active "Number One". I mean, who's going to keep the crew in line and met out discipline!
But in all seriousness, I haven't seen a single post in the "Active Mission" from the previous XO, thus nothing really needs to be retconn'd per se. We only saw a personnel file, which is only that, a personnel file. Nothing in the active mission means you don't exist in the story... yet.
In fact, Nesta and Eaglesg can turn it into an interesting little story/conversation for us to read and enjoy. With a serious XO, who isn't into humor, I see a lot of interesting times trying to get him to lower his shields for those who deal with him.
Though, I do suggest that someone keep the roster regularly up-to-date. I know I reference it a lot to stay familiar with who is in what position and figure out the relations/connections between various characters.

I was thinking about that as well. I'm guessing they'll be in the main shuttlebay at the back of the saucer because it has the most room. This way they can launch quickly when called to help defend the ship from attack and also have the major repair facilities to maintain the fighters.

Makes sense to me. Was thinking it would either be that or they moved the shuttles to the main shuttlebay and converted the second one into the squadron hanger. But thinking about it if there's only a few squadron ships even the secondary shuttlebay might be too big for them to have it all to themselves.

That's precisely why we can change "just like that". That being said I wanted to make an announcement first but know that everyone knows, may I (not) introduce you the new XO of the U.S.S. Ares ^^"
I also wanted to send Generator a PM about switching to Squadron CO (and deuZige being Squad XO, even if he's MIA), but since we are in family I'll just ask here (JK, I'll send you a PM too just in case you miss it here)
If deuZige is back then he will of course be able to take his Squad XO character (and we'll see about his "not-XO-anymore" character). While I can understand why he may be MIA I cannot hold the prelude (and everyone) anymore. We have to move on.
I wanted the "normal" Aft Shuttlebay to be the Squadron Bay (I wanted to precise that on the future Fighter Info File on the Database - my mistake), because the fighters won't be Type 11 / Delta Flyer / Argo sized.
Of course it's not fixed so if all of you want the fighters to share the main bay that's fine with me (just that I wanted to finally use the second bay on the Sovvy, not to mention that I'm making the 3D interior included in the CG Ares model for future renders ^^)

Well I was thinking similar to you that because they are fighters and not shuttles they might have had their own bay and with most characters outside the bridge officers meeting the Captain, I'd get up to date by checking out where my guy works, then realised we didn't actually say where they were As for where they go now, I'll go with whatever we decide.

Hey, sorry about that. We haven't heard from dZ since the beginning so we reopened the position. It's not that we have two XOs, it's just our first is MIA at the moment. Nesta will be subbing for the position, unless he wants it, if I understand everything correctly.
- - - Updated - - -
That's exactly right, it's not a top secret operation, just a miscommunication. I thought everyone was aware by now concerning dZ. He hasn't been around for weeks though; he's been missing for weeks. We just recently decided to open up the position. Sorry for the confusion haha the position just opened.
- - - Updated - - -
hahaha we could call it a "planned wrinkle" haha we were expecting dZ to come back and clear everything, but we still haven't heard from him, but it's just as Nesta explained though.
- - - Updated - - -
If there's weeks and weeks of inactivity, AND we can't get in contact with you, THEN we'll take this step. This just happens to be the worst case scenario haha
- - - Updated - - -
haha I did that with the captain a couple weeks ago, I mix them up all the time.
- - - Updated - - -
hahaha I was thinking that, too. I don't check today and BOOM haha
- - - Updated - - -
I like how everyone's keeping their eyes open and holding our feet to the fire haha good job

I have no issues and all is fine with me. Believe me, I totally understand the need to be adaptive and flexible. You all are doing a wonderful job and I'm enjoying the creative writing everyone is doing.
We all understand that 'real life' happens and things come-up. But it is considerate to at least drop a PM or note to the staff or someone saying that you have to take a leave of absence for a period of time or for an 'unknown' time. These forums provide many avenues to do just that.
Kudos to Nesta to stepping up to fill the role, as well.
