USS Chuck Norris facts:
* The USS Chuck Norris is Star Fleet's only ship named after a living person.
* The USS Chuck Norris is the only starship that has a roundhouse kick in its weapons arsenal.
* The USS Chuck Norris doesn't carry photon torpedoes. Opening hailing frequencies usually does the trick.

* Captain Kirk was offered command of the USS Chuck Norris, but turned it down because Chuck Norris told him to.
* Captain Archer wasn't offered command of the USS Chuck Norris. He was too young.
* The USS Chuck Norris broke the starship speed record. Its warp engines were installed the next day.

* The USS Chuck Norris has never raised its shields. No one would dare fire on the Chuck Norris.
* The Borg once tried to assimilate the USS Chuck Norris. Their collective consciousness now belongs to Chuck Norris.
* The USS Chuck Norris doesn't have a life support system. It doesn't need a crew.

* The USS Chuck Norris launched on Monday. The Q continuum surrendered to the Federation on Tuesday.
* The USS Chuck Norris doesn't use phasers. Its roundhouse kick is much more effective, and instantly deadly.
In case you're wondering, those facts are just for fun and have no bearing on the story. :)

That's right, Independence Fleet is now accepting nominations for its Hall of Fame Class of 2013! All nominations should be sent to me at star.idf@gmail.com. Each nomination should include the name of the character and a write-up of why they're deserving of the Hall of Fame. If you're not sure what the IDF HoF is or how it works, check out its charter: http://www.independencefleet.com/wiki/images/1/1b/IDF_HoF.pdf
We're a new ship and don't have too many eligible past players, but maybe in a few years we'll be well represented! In the mean time, let's support the rest of the fleet. Feel free to ask any questions you might have too. Here's the current list of inductees: http://www.independencefleet.com/wiki/index.php?title=Independence_Fleet_Hall_of_Fame

» April Award Nominees
Posted on Thu May 2nd, 2013 @ 2:49pm by Captain Dick Sprague in General News
And our April IDF award nominees are...
Best Post: Lt. Cmdr. Aurther Winters, Chief Engineering Officer, for "12 O'Clock High!"
http://ships.independencefleet.com/ChuckNorris.php/sim/viewpost/542
Youngblood and Winters find themselves in a classic chase scene on the planet below.
Funniest Post: Warrant Officer Dex Hellion, Small Craft Pilot, for "Tick Tock"
http://ships.independencefleet.com/ChuckNorris.php/sim/viewpost/522
Hellion's quick thinking saves the shuttlecraft's crew from an untimely demise.
Genesis: none
MVP: Lt. Cmdr. Aurther Winters, Chief Engineering Officer
Winters does it yet again. Doing his best to channel Hall of Famer Ingoldo of the Excalibur, Winters shows month in and month out that he's one of the best simmers in the entire fleet. He consistently sends superior quality posts at a high volume, keeping the story fresh and active. He also does an excellent job of integrating others into the story to get them involved, and even posts story synopses from time to time to keep the less active players up to speed. A mentor and guide to our many younger simmers, Winters is the perfect role model for them to follow. If every sim on the net had a Winters, they would all be doing great.
Rookie of the Month: none
Most Improved: Ensign Erika Ross, Chief Diplomatic Officer
In only her second month of simming, Ross continues to excel and has entrenched herself as one of the Chuck Norris's most important crewmembers. Growing by leaps and bounds with seemingly every post, Ross doesn't disappoint. She even led the ship in total posts. Ross is well ahead of her similarly experienced peers, and is clearly on her way toward becoming an outstanding veteran simmer. She's going to be a major asset to the Chuck Norris for a long time to come.
Most Posts: Ensign Erika Ross, Chief Diplomatic Officer, 23 posts
Recruitment: none
Contrats to all!
