Wie immer lesen Sie bitte die erste Ausgabe der Vorbehalte und Links zu Hintergrundmaterial, um zu sehen, was bereits etabliert ist.\n\nRECAP\nIn den letzten Wochen haben wir mit der Geschwadernummerierung herumgespielt. Dieses Thema hat sich zu einer Untersuchung dar\u00fcber ausgeweitet, wie die Marine selbst organisiert ist und welche Nummerierungssysteme beteiligt sind.\n\nEs gab viele Diskussionen \u00fcber die Benennung der Fl\u00fcge innerhalb der Staffel, insbesondere \u00fcber das Rufzeichen des rangh\u00f6chsten Offiziers zur Identifizierung des Fluges. Ich beginne zuzustimmen, dass es sehr verwirrend sein k\u00f6nnte, zu verstehen, wer wer wer ist, besonders wenn Fl\u00fcge von mehreren Schiffen im selben Kampf sind. W\u00e4hrend das Rufzeichen eine eindeutige Kennung sein kann, kann ein Pilot keine zus\u00e4tzlichen Informationen daraus gewinnen.\n\nEs gab einen Vorschlag, zu einem Farbcodierungssystem zur\u00fcckzukehren, das gro\u00dfartig w\u00e4re, nur um \"Rot-F\u00fcnf in Bereitschaft\" sagen zu k\u00f6nnen, aber es f\u00fchlt sich an, als ob einem die Farben sehr schnell ausgehen w\u00fcrden, wenn das Ihr einziger Indikator w\u00e4re.\n\nDeshalb schlage ich zwei Optionen vor:\n\n1. \u00c4hnlich wie der Vorschlag von Homewreaker ist der Flug bekannt als: Geschwader #-Phonetic Alphabet-Schiff #. Das vierte Schiff in der 82. Staffel Charlie Flight w\u00e4re also \"Charlie-Four\", wenn sie nur mit ihrer Staffel auf einer Mission sind, und 82-Charlie-Four, wenn es eine gro\u00dfe Mehrgeschwader-Schl\u00e4gerei ist.\n\n2. Im Grunde das gleiche System, aber mit Farben statt des phonetischen Alphabets, also anstelle von \"Charlie-Four\" \"Gold-Four\" oder \"82-Gold-Four\".\n\nWerfen wir einen Blick auf eine abschlie\u00dfende Darstellung der gesamten Struktur, wie sie derzeit vorliegt:\n\nUEE NAVY NUMMERIERUNG & ORGANISATION\nHier ist der Ablauf des Befehls sowie die Struktur-\/Namenskonventionen f\u00fcr jede Ebene der Marine.\n\nIMPERATOR\nLeiter der UEE.\n\nH.C. LEGATUS NAVIUM (OBERKOMMANDO)\nDas 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\nEin Vorsitzender und die Generalstabschefs wurden alle zu einer einzigen Person zusammengefasst, aber auch mit der gesamten operativen Autorit\u00e4t.\n\nWICHTIGSTE FLOTTEN\nBenannt nach den Konstellationen der Erde, wird jede Flotte von einem Admiral befehligt, der dem Gro\u00dfadmiral unterstellt ist.\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, Erdflotte).\n\nFACHGRUPPEN\nBerichte an den Flottenadmiral; hier w\u00fcrde sich der Gruppenf\u00fchrer (Vizeadmiral) aller Geschwader von K\u00e4mpfern aufhalten, die Ausbildungspipeline kontrollieren, den Wartungsbedarf in Material und Krediten \u00fcberwachen und Nugget-Piloten den Geschwadern zuweisen.\n\nHier sind die Akronyme f\u00fcr die Arten von Gruppen:\nAbfangj\u00e4ger - IF\nAbfangj\u00e4ger - IB\nStrategischer Bomber - SB\nElektronische Kriegsf\u00fchrung - EW\nSuche und Rettung - SR\nPatrouille\/Aufkl\u00e4rung - PR\n\nBATTLE GROUP\nBesteht in der Regel aus 1 Hauptschiff, 2-4 Escorts und einer unterschiedlichen Anzahl von gro\u00dfen Kampf- und Unterst\u00fctzungsschiffen. Verwenden Sie Zahlen f\u00fcr die Bezeichnung (312th Battle Group). Diese werden von einem Rear Admiral befohlen, der dem Regional Fleet Commander unterstellt ist.\n\nGro\u00dfschiffe Bezeichnungen:\nCV = Flottenbetreiber\nCVE = Escort Carrier (Begleitperson)\nBB = Schlachtschiff\nCA = Kreuzer\nCB = 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 Wing Commander, der auf dem gr\u00f6\u00dften Tr\u00e4ger der Battle Group stationiert ist und dem Rear Admiral untersteht. Der der Kampfgruppe zugeordnete Tr\u00e4gerfl\u00fcgel teilt sich die dem Tr\u00e4ger zugeordnete Nummer, die vom ersten Schiff der Klasse stammt (zuf\u00e4llig bestimmt), und dann werden nachfolgende Schiffe fortlaufend nummeriert.\n\nDie Geschwader sind 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\nDie Benennung der Fl\u00fcge wurde in der obigen Zusammenfassung behandelt, aber hier ist ein Bild zur Veranschaulichung des gesamten Systems. Der Einfachheit halber habe ich den ersten Flugbenennungsmechanismus verwendet, der oben vorgeschlagen wurde.\n\nSo, da haben Sie es. W\u00e4hrend es noch Details zu konkretisieren gibt, f\u00fchlt sich der Rahmen f\u00fcr ein koh\u00e4rentes System solide genug f\u00fcr die weitere innere Entwicklung an. Nochmals vielen Dank an alle f\u00fcr Ihre Zeit und Ihre Beitr\u00e4ge, um dies zu konkretisieren, besonders an Dzur f\u00fcr seinen Beitrag und seine Geduld, die mir diese Systeme erkl\u00e4rt haben.\n\nLORE BUILDER wird in die Pause gehen, anstatt einer fantastischen neuen Fiktion, die du genie\u00dfen kannst. Ich wollte mich bei allen bedanken, die in den letzten Monaten an dieser Serie teilgenommen haben. Von den Finalisten des Murray Cup \u00fcber Sataball, Piraten bis hin zur Geschwadernummerierung - das Wissen und die Kreativit\u00e4t der Community war unglaublich.\n\nBitte schreibe unten alle abschlie\u00dfenden Gedanken oder Kommentare.\n\nBis zum n\u00e4chsten Mal.....","zh_CN":"Hello and welcome to this week\u2019s installment of Lore Builder, our weekly feature where we talk out aspects of the Star Citizen universe with you, the community.
