Hello, and welcome to UFSGrid.
Please allow me to explain a little about the grid and how we play.
We all know about virtual worlds like Second Life, OS Grid and many others. What we wanted to create was a world that was as versatile as Second life but specifically catered for the Star Trek fans.
We also want to create a Star Trek enviroment that is realistic and close to the 'real' thing so to speak.
So what exactly does that mean you ask?
- We play in REAL TIME...that means that 1 year in UFSGrid is 1 REAL year....so 2010 is considered 2385 in UFSGrid
- We also use the excisting warpchart....that means that we know exactly how long it takes a ship to reach a certain destination...so we do not play 'poof and your there' if it takes a ship 2 weeks at warp 5 to get somewhere, it will take 2 weeks to get back as well.
- We understand its all about fun....so while this is impossible to control...we do ask you to play fair....But we are working on creating a system that will make all of this even more realistic, so please stay tuned and HAVE FUN
- There is only 1 Starfleet, 1 klingon Empire and so on.....in order to be a member of Starfleet you will need to join United Federation Starfleet (www.ufstarfleet.org). In order to be a member of the Klingon Defence Force you will need to join the Klingon Group that owns the Qo'noS sim...This of course does NOT mean you can not create a Klingon Colony or become a seperate Klingon group...just not the main Qo'noS Empire...The same goes for Starfleet.....there is only 1 Starfleet but of course that doesnt mean you cant become a renegade group like the Maquis or start a colony or world that is not part of the Federation......Anything is possible as long as it falls within the Star Trek franchise as created by Gene Roddenberry.
- We follow first and foremost Memory Alpha as a guide and then Memory Beta...so please try to stay in line with those 2 sources. Meaning...it is written that there are no more Borg...so we stick with that part of Fe..deration History..
In order to do that we asked a very experienced Star Trek fan organization for help. This organization already is very active in metaverses and has teh benefit of being incorporated. Not only do they have the experience, but also to know how and contacts to help us with this endeavour.
