Wie immer gibt es hier einen Link zur ersten Ausgabe. Bitte informieren Sie sich \u00fcber die Vorbehalte und Hintergrundmaterial, um sich \u00fcber das Erreichte auf dem Laufenden zu halten.\n\nWir haben diese Woche viel zu besprechen, also lasst uns gleich loslegen:\n\nSTAFFEL-NUMMERIERUNG\nZuerst gehen wir einige der Notizen aus dem Beitrag der letzten Woche durch.\n\nR\u00e4nge f\u00fcr den CO von kleineren Kapitalschiffen\nEs gab viele Fragen bez\u00fcglich der Vorstellung, dass Kommandanten und Oberleutnant Kommandeure anstelle von Kapit\u00e4nen f\u00fcr kleinere Gro\u00dfschiffe verantwortlich sein w\u00fcrden. Buttface behandelte dieses Problem mit einer guten Erkl\u00e4rung, und Dzur wog auch ab:\n\nDie Idee hier ist, dass man nicht warten will, bis jemand ein Captain (Rang) ist, um herauszufinden, ob er oder sie die F\u00e4higkeit und Entschlossenheit hat, \"der Mann\" zu sein, auch wenn der Befehl ziemlich klein ist. So werden Offizieren, die eine vielversprechende fr\u00fche Karriere vorweisen k\u00f6nnen, fr\u00fchzeitig Befehle angeboten, sowohl um die besten Leute in die Jobs zu bringen, als auch als Gelegenheit, im kleinen Rahmen (Besatzung von 25 Personen) erfolgreich zu sein oder zu scheitern, bevor sie dies tun, wenn es das Leben von 5000 Besatzungsmitgliedern auf einem Schiff beeintr\u00e4chtigen k\u00f6nnte. Andere Offiziere, die sp\u00e4ter in ihrer Karriere als Leiter ausbrechen, k\u00f6nnen weiterhin das Kommando im Kommandantenrang erhalten.\n\nLogistik\nQuintero und Infidel brachten beide ausgezeichnete Punkte \u00fcber die Einbeziehung der Logistik zur Sprache und wo sie in diese Hierarchie passen. Mir gefiel die Platzierung von Infidel als eigenst\u00e4ndige Niederlassung, die dem Gro\u00dfadmiral untersteht. Durch die Kombination von Vorschl\u00e4gen von Quintero, Infidel und Dzur k\u00f6nnte es auch Spezialit\u00e4ten wie:\n\n\nLogistik\/Transport Bergung Exploration Forschung\/Entwicklung Personal & Records Intelligence\nM\u00f6glicherweise k\u00f6nnten die Abteilungen, die Schiffe ben\u00f6tigen (Transport\/Versorgung, Bergung, Erkundung), zur Flotte der Spezialdienste geh\u00f6ren.\n\nAbk\u00fcrzungen\nEs gab einige Punkte zu diesem Thema:\n\n- Mehrere von Ihnen wiesen darauf hin, dass Carrier Air Wing ein Fehlname im Weltraum w\u00e4re. Mir gefiel Azraels Vorschlag, ihn auf Carrier Wing (CW) umzustellen.\n\n- CBC als Abk\u00fcrzung f\u00fcr Battlecruiser: Wird es auf BC \u00e4ndern.\n\n- VB war in der Tat ein Tippfehler f\u00fcr Intercept Bombers. In einer weiteren Diskussion schlug Dzur eine Klarstellung vor, dass das \"Abfangen\" verwendet werden sollte, wenn das Ziel dieses Schiffes ein anderes Schiff ist, sowie das folgende ge\u00e4nderte System:\nAbfangkampfj\u00e4ger - IF\nAbfangj\u00e4ger - IB\nstrategischer Bomber - SB\nFr\u00fchwarnung - EW\nSuche und Rettung - SAR oder SR\nPatrouille\/Rekognoszierung - PR\n\n\nGESCHWADER UND FL\u00dcGE\nLetzte Woche haben wir uns mit der Organisation von Schiffen und Jagdflugzeugen in gr\u00f6\u00dferem Umfang besch\u00e4ftigt, insbesondere mit den (neu gepr\u00e4gten) Carrier Wings. Nun werfen wir einen Blick auf die Organisation und das Benennungssystem f\u00fcr die K\u00e4mpfer auf der Ebene Staffel\/Flug\/Einzel.\n\nDa wir vor zwei Jahren zwei Posten eingerichtet haben, sind die Geschwader in der Reihenfolge ihrer Gr\u00fcndung nummeriert und bestehen aus bis zu vier Fl\u00fcgen. Normalerweise hat jeder dieser Fl\u00fcge sechs Schiffe, aber diese Anzahl kann je nach Verf\u00fcgbarkeit\/Bedarf schwanken.\n\nDer Name des Fluges w\u00e4re das Rufzeichen des rangh\u00f6chsten Offiziers, der f\u00fcr die Mission verantwortlich ist. An einem normalen Tag ist es dasselbe wie beim Flight Commander, aber wenn der XO der Staffel das Kommando \u00fcber die Mission erh\u00e4lt, wird das Rufzeichen unter dem Rufzeichen des XO angezeigt. Dasselbe gilt, wenn der Kommandant des Tragfl\u00e4chenschiffes das Kommando \u00fcber eine Mission \u00fcbernimmt. Dem Rest des Fluges werden dann Nummern zugewiesen (z.B. Paladin 2, Paladin 3, etc.).\n\n\nWie immer, z\u00f6gere nicht, in den Kommentaren unten zu diskutieren, ob die \u00c4nderungen funktionieren oder nicht. N\u00e4chste Woche werden wir eine fertige Synopse des Staffel-Nummerierungssystems pr\u00e4sentieren. Wenn es gut aussieht (oder nahe dran ist), werden wir es zur internen \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung einreichen.\n\nKommen wir zum anderen Thema von letzter Woche:\n\nFEIERN\nEs gab einige gro\u00dfartige Ideen hier drin, die eine ganze Reihe von Medien und Disziplinen abdeckten. Diese werden sehr hilfreich sein, wenn wir schnell einige Artikel oder Plakate mit Sternen f\u00fcllen m\u00fcssen.\n\nHier sind ein paar tolle Beispiele:\n\nvon AC\nLionel - Alter ungepflegter Mann in Stanton, der bei einem Arbeitsunfall seri\u00f6s vergast wurde und verr\u00fcckt wurde. In diesen Tagen fand er heraus, wie er einen So\u00dfenwagen um Raumh\u00e4fen schob und vor sich hin murmelte, w\u00e4hrend er Dinge sammelte, die gl\u00e4nzend oder trinkwasserwert sind. Ein paar M\u00fcnzen und Lionel k\u00f6nnten dir einige gute Informationen geben, da die Leute oft denken, dass ein Verr\u00fcckter nicht zuh\u00f6rt oder sich nicht erinnert. Andererseits k\u00f6nntest du verr\u00fcckte oder verschwommene Gedanken f\u00fcr dein Geld bekommen.\n\nvon 999Demonen\nWajida Azizi hat vielleicht die beliebteste Reiseshow auf dem Spectrum. Sie ist eine Frau in den fr\u00fchen drei\u00dfiger Jahren mit einer positiven Einstellung, die einfach nicht brechen wird. Von einem klassischen Strandurlaub \u00fcber exotische Besichtigungen bis hin zu geradezu abenteuerlichen Aktivit\u00e4ten deckt sie alles ab. Sie hat jedoch einige Probleme f\u00fcr sich selbst verursacht, da ihr Hintergrund als investigative Journalistin sie manchmal dazu treibt, gef\u00e4hrlichen Boden zu betreten und die lokale Bev\u00f6lkerung und Politiker falsch zu reiben. Sie ist auch aufgrund ihrer geradlinigen Natur in Konflikt mit einigen Xi'An geraten, was sie kulturell unsensibel erscheinen l\u00e4sst.\n\nvon Bacchus\nBarsegh Nguyen (Kunstkritiker) Jung und frech, Herr Nguyen sagte einmal: \"In jedem von uns wartet dieser winzige, kleine Kritiker darauf, um sich auszuschlagen, aber nur wenige von uns sind gro\u00dfartig darin.\" Da er nur bei 5'4\" steht, hat er mehr Recht, als er denkt. Barsegh ist sehr \u00e4hnlich wie ein Boxer, denn wenn er dich einmal in den Seilen hat, wird er nicht aufh\u00f6ren zu schlagen - aber im Gegensatz zu einem Preisk\u00e4mpfer schl\u00e4gt Barsegh unter die G\u00fcrtellinie.\n\nBarsegh ist bekannt f\u00fcr einige sehr harte Kommentare in dem, was er seinen Kreuzzug gegen \"\u00f6ffentliche Unanst\u00e4ndigkeit\" nennt, aber derjenige, an den er am meisten erinnert wird, ist die Bemerkung \".... braune Flecken auf Gebrauchspapier...\", f\u00fcr die er ein blaues Auge erhielt. Man sollte meinen, er h\u00e4tte es danach abgeschw\u00e4cht, aber er wei\u00df, dass der Gewinn darin besteht, in die Kreise der Elite aufgenommen zu werden, und ohne seine Frechheit, seinen Witz und seinen trockenen Humor ist er f\u00fcr Prominente genauso wertlos wie die Kunst, die er verspottet. Er wei\u00df, dass seine Haltbarkeit kurz sein k\u00f6nnte, also hat er keine Bedenken, einen Spritzer zu machen. \"Es ist nicht so einfach, es in die Boulevardpresse zu schaffen, wie man denkt\", sagte er einmal.\n\n\nDas reicht f\u00fcr diese Woche. Wenn du gerade angekommen bist und einige Ideen f\u00fcr m\u00f6gliche Prominente im SC-Universum (aktuell und vergangen) hast, schreibe bitte unten eine einteilige Beschreibung auf.\n\nBis zum n\u00e4chsten Mal.....","zh_CN":"Hello and welcome back to another installment of LORE BUILDER, where you, the community, can help mold Star Citizen\u2019s universe.
