As always, I will direct any readers to the caveats and background reading listed in the beginning of the first issue to bring you up to speed on what\u2019s been established.\n\nSo let\u2019s jump right in.\n\nSQUADRON NUMBERING SYSTEM\nThis is just a guess, but I seemed to gather that you all are leaning towards maintaining the current phonetic alphabet. I\u2019m not sure, I might have to put together a poll \u2026\n\nAnyway, Sengar had used the original phonetic alphabet in his original post. When going through edits internally, the question was raised as to whether the terms would be updated (\u201cGolf\u201d and \u201cFoxtrot\u201d seemed particularly unlikely). Then Rob found a web page that charted the number of changes to the system within the past century (here\u2019s the link for those interested), so I started changing them, but we can go back to the original\/common version.\n\nMoving on, Dzur had a fantastic write-up on how to update the general system. Here is a link to the complete post. After some discussion with him, we were able to work out an updated version of the overall organizational structure of the Navy and how they are named and numbered.\n\nWe\u2019ll start from the very top:\n\nIMPERATOR\nHead of the UEE\n\nHIGH COMMAND\nThe H.C. Legatus Navium is the highest ranking member of the Navy and represents the branch in the government. He or she dictates policy more than operational control.\n\nGRAND ADMIRAL\nExcerpt from Dzur\u2019s email: \u201c\u2026 similar to how the 5 stars worked during WWI or WWII, kind of a chairman and the joint chiefs all rolled into a single person, but with overall operational authority as well.\u201d\n\nMAJOR FLEETS\nNamed after Earth\u2019s constellations, each fleet is commanded by an Admiral.\n\nREGIONAL FLEET COMMANDER\nVice Admiral who oversees Fleet activity in specific regions of the Major Fleet\u2019s Area of Operation. Named after universe landmarks (i.e. Gamma Region Commander, Cancer Fleet).\n\nSPECIALTY GROUP COMMANDER\nVice Admiral In Charge of the Squadrons Assigned to the Major Fleet, reports to Fleet Admiral. Here\u2019s a pass at the possible groups for the types of ships that could be included in a standard Carrier Air Wing:\n\nIF = Intercept Fighter Group (Hornets)\nIT = Intercept Torpedo Group (Gladiators)\nEW = Early Warning Group (Hornets)\nVB = Intercept Bomber Group (Retaliators)\n\nBATTLE GROUP\nUsually consists of 1 Main Carrier, 2-4 Escorts and large Combat\/Support Vessels.

Thanks again to Dzur for making himself available to field questions and develop this further.\n\nFor our second topic of the week, like the pirate packs\/mercs\/syndicates, this is going to be an open topic. It\u2019s something that, love them or hate them, will probably always exist with Humanity:\n\nCELEBRITIES\nActors, writers, musicians, painters (yes, they still exist), athletes, media darlings of all stripes, come one come all.\n\nHere\u2019s an excerpt from the Writer\u2019s Guide on the types of media that we\u2019ve established thus far:\n\nThe web of information and entertainment is known as the Spectrum. Many of the forms of entertainment from today still exist, just changed, advanced. For example, there are movies and shows called Vids, that are effectively all on demand. Books are exclusively digital. Painting is as well. Music too. There are still celebrities, and NewsOrgs still do local nightly news and produce the equivalent of online newspapers.\n\nYou don\u2019t necessarily need to limit yourself to these. If you come up with some interesting interactive media that make sense within the universe, by all means, write them down.\n\nIn the comments below, write up a description of a celebrity in the Star Citizen universe. Make them interesting or obnoxious. Pretentious or inspiring. Idiots or the real deal. Have fun with them.\n\nThe only rule is going to be the same one used for the pirate packs:\n\nPlease keep these descriptions to a single paragraph. It\u2019s much more difficult, I know, but that limitation will help you keep their appearance, identifying traits and\/or personalities succinct and distinctive.\n\nThat\u2019s it for this week. Good luck.\n\nUntil next time \u2026","de_DE":"Hallo und willkommen zu einer weiteren Ausgabe von LORE BUILDER, wo wir mit der Gemeinschaft zusammenarbeiten, um die Entwicklung und Ausgestaltung der Ecken des Star Citizen-Universums zu unterst\u00fctzen. Wie immer werde ich jeden Leser auf die Vorbehalte und Hintergrundinformationen verweisen, die am Anfang der ersten Ausgabe aufgef\u00fchrt sind, um Sie auf dem Laufenden zu halten.\n\nAlso springen wir gleich rein.\n\nSTAFFEL-NUMMERIERUNGSSYSTEM\nDies ist nur eine Vermutung, aber ich schien zu verstehen, dass ihr alle dazu neigt, das aktuelle phonetische Alphabet beizubehalten. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, vielleicht muss ich eine Umfrage zusammenstellen....\n\nJedenfalls hatte Sengar in seinem urspr\u00fcnglichen Beitrag das urspr\u00fcngliche phonetische Alphabet verwendet. Bei der internen Bearbeitung wurde die Frage gestellt, ob die Begriffe aktualisiert werden (\"Golf\" und \"Foxtrot\" schienen besonders unwahrscheinlich). Dann fand Rob eine Webseite, die die Anzahl der \u00c4nderungen am System innerhalb des letzten Jahrhunderts auflistet (hier ist der Link f\u00fcr die Interessierten), also fing ich an, sie zu \u00e4ndern, aber wir k\u00f6nnen zur urspr\u00fcnglichen\/gemeinsamen Version zur\u00fcckkehren.\n\nWeiter ging es, Dzur hatte eine fantastische Beschreibung, wie man das allgemeine System aktualisiert. Hier ist ein Link zum kompletten Beitrag. Nach einigen Gespr\u00e4chen mit ihm konnten wir eine aktualisierte Version der gesamten Organisationsstruktur der Marine sowie deren Namen und Nummerierung erarbeiten.\n\nWir fangen ganz oben an:\n\nIMPERATOR\nLeiter der UEE\n\nHIGH COMMAND\nDas H.C. Legatus Navium ist das rangh\u00f6chste Mitglied der Marine und vertritt die Niederlassung in der Regierung. Er oder sie diktiert die Politik mehr als die operative Kontrolle.\n\nGRAND ADMIRAL\nAuszug aus Dzurs E-Mail: \"....\u00e4hnlich wie die 5 Sterne w\u00e4hrend des Ersten oder Zweiten Weltkriegs, rollten eine Art Vorsitzender und die Generalstabschefs alle zu einer einzigen Person, aber auch mit der gesamten operativen Autorit\u00e4t.\"\n\nWICHTIGSTE FLOTTEN\nBenannt nach den Konstellationen der Erde, wird jede Flotte von einem Admiral befohlen.\n\nREGIONALER FLOTTENCHEF\nVizeadmiral, der die Flottenaktivit\u00e4ten in bestimmten Regionen des Einsatzgebiets der Gro\u00dfflotte \u00fcberwacht. Benannt nach den Wahrzeichen des Universums (z.B. Gamma Region Commander, Cancer Fleet).\n\nSPEZIALGRUPPENF\u00dcHRER\nVizeadmiral, verantwortlich f\u00fcr die der Gro\u00dfflotte zugewiesenen Geschwader, berichtet dem Flottenadmiral. Hier ist ein Pass zu den m\u00f6glichen Gruppen f\u00fcr die Schiffstypen, die in einen Standard Carrier Air Wing aufgenommen werden k\u00f6nnen:\n\nIF = Intercept Fighter Group (Hornissen)\nIT = Torpedogruppe abfangen (Gladiatoren)\nEW = Fr\u00fchwarngruppe (Hornissen)\nVB = Intercept Bomber Group (Vergelter)\n\nBATTLE GROUP\nBesteht in der Regel aus 1 Hauptschiff, 2-4 Escorts und gro\u00dfen Kampf- und Unterst\u00fctzungsschiffen. Verwenden Sie Zahlen f\u00fcr die Bezeichnung (312. Kampfgruppe). Diese werden von Rear Admiral geleitet, der dem regionalen Flottenkommandanten unterstellt ist.\n\nKAPIT\u00c4N SCHIFFSKAPIT\u00c4NE\nOffiziere verschiedener R\u00e4nge (Beispiele aus Dzurs E-Mail: Ein Carrier-Skipper w\u00e4re ein Kapit\u00e4n, w\u00e4hrend ein Zerst\u00f6rer, Kreuzer oder Schlachtschiff-Skipper ein Kommandant w\u00e4re, eine Fregatte oder ein Begleitschiff-Skipper ein Lieutenant-Commander), die dem Rear Admiral Bericht erstatten.\n\nCAW, das der Battlegroup zugeordnet ist, teilt sich die Nummer, die dem Carrier zugewiesen ist. Diese Anfangsnummer f\u00fcr das erste Schiff in der Klasse wird zuf\u00e4llig bestimmt, und dann werden die nachfolgenden Schiffe fortlaufend nummeriert.\n\nGro\u00dfschiffe Bezeichnungen:\n\nCV = Flottenbetreiber\nCVE = Escort Carrier (Begleitperson)\nBB = Schlachtschiff\nCA = Kreuzer\nCBC = Kampfkreuzer\nDD = Zerst\u00f6rer\nFF = Fregatte\nFFL = Fregattenlicht\nK = Korvette\nAP = Transport\nAOG = Tankwagen\n\nSCHWERTTR\u00c4GER\nDie Geschwader stehen unter dem Kommando des Carrier Air Wing Commander, der auf dem gr\u00f6\u00dften Tr\u00e4ger der Battle Group stationiert ist und dem Rear Admiral untersteht.\n\nIch m\u00f6chte nicht zu viel von diesem Thema in einem Beitrag abbei\u00dfen, also werden wir die Organisation innerhalb der Staffel f\u00fcr n\u00e4chste Woche aufheben und eine endg\u00fcltige \u00dcberarbeitung des gesamten Systems vornehmen. Nochmals vielen Dank an Dzur, dass er sich f\u00fcr Feldfragen zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt und diese weiterentwickelt hat.\n\nF\u00fcr unser zweites Thema der Woche, wie die Piratenpakete\/Mercs\/Syndikate, wird dies ein offenes Thema sein. Es ist etwas, das, wenn man sie liebt oder hasst, wahrscheinlich immer mit der Menschheit existieren wird:\n\nFEIERN\nSchauspieler, Schriftsteller, Musiker, Maler (ja, sie existieren noch), Sportler, Medienliebhaber aller Couleur, kommt einer kommt alle.\n\nHier ist ein Auszug aus dem Writer's Guide \u00fcber die Arten von Medien, die wir bisher etabliert haben:\n\nDas Netz der Information und Unterhaltung wird als Spectrum bezeichnet. Viele der Unterhaltungsformen von heute gibt es noch, nur ver\u00e4ndert, weiterentwickelt. Zum Beispiel gibt es Filme und Shows namens Vids, die praktisch alle auf Abruf sind. Die B\u00fccher sind ausschlie\u00dflich digital. Auch die Malerei ist es. Auch Musik. Es gibt immer noch Prominente, und NewsOrgs machen immer noch lokale Nachtmeldungen und produzieren das \u00c4quivalent zu Online-Zeitungen.\n\nDu musst dich nicht unbedingt auf diese beschr\u00e4nken. Wenn du dir einige interessante interaktive Medien ausdenkst, die im Universum Sinn machen, schreibe sie auf jeden Fall auf.\n\nSchreibe in den Kommentaren unten eine Beschreibung einer Ber\u00fchmtheit im Star Citizen-Universum auf. Mache sie interessant oder abscheulich. Anspruchsvoll oder inspirierend. Idioten oder der echte Deal. Viel Spa\u00df mit ihnen.\n\nDie einzige Regel wird die gleiche sein, die auch f\u00fcr die Piratenpakete verwendet wird:\n\nBitte halten Sie diese Beschreibungen in einem einzigen Absatz fest. Es ist viel schwieriger, ich wei\u00df, aber diese Einschr\u00e4nkung wird dir helfen, ihr Aussehen zu behalten, indem sie Eigenschaften und\/oder Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten pr\u00e4gnant und unverwechselbar identifiziert.\n\nDas war's f\u00fcr diese Woche. Viel Gl\u00fcck.\n\nBis zum n\u00e4chsten Mal.....","zh_CN":"Hello and welcome to another installment of LORE BUILDER, where we work with the community to help develop and flesh out corners of the Star Citizen universe.
