| The outer rim… …a place of wonders and terrors where anything can and does happen. Here, one ship and her brave crew travel the unknown, that ship is the USS Andromeda an Intrepid class starship. In the year 2385 she launches anew catapulting the inquisitive and the courageous into places where no one has gone before. The Andromeda is a play by forum simulation welcoming all visitors to read our stories and post in the Loung forum with any comments or questions. If you like what you see, are over the age of sixteen and want to join our crew please visig the “Beam Aboard” forum. No prior simming experience is required though a good familiarity with Star Trek and modest grammatical skills are preferred. .

Level 5 Diagnostic This automated procedure is intended for routing use to verify system performance. Level 5 Diagnostics, which usually require less then 2.5 seconds, are typically performed on most systems on at least a daily basis, and are also performed during crisis situations when time and system resources are carefully managed. Level 4 Diagnostic This automated procedure is intended for use whenever trouble is suspected with a given system. This protocol is similar to Level 5, but invokes more sophisticated batteries of automated diagnostics. For more systems, Level 4 diagnostics can be performed in under 30 seconds. Level 3 Diagnostic This protocol is similar to level 1 and 2 diagnostics but involves crew verification of only key mechanics and systems readings. Level 3 diagnostics are intended to be performed in ten minutes or less. Level 2 Diagnostic This refers to a comprehensive system diagnostic protocol which, like a level 1, involves extensive automated routines, but requires crew verification of fewer operations elements. This yields a somewhat less reliable system analyses, but is a procedure that can be conducted in less then half the time of the more complex tests. Level 1 Diagnostic This refers to the most comprehensive type of system diagnostic, which is normally conducted on ships systems. Extensive automated diagnostic routines are performed, but a level 1 diagnostic requires a team of crew members to Physically verify operation of a system mechanisms and to take system readings, rather then depending on the automated programs, thereby guarding against possible malfunctions in self testing hardware and software. Level 1 diagnostics on major systems can take several hours, and in many cases the subject system must be taken offline for all tests to be preformed. |
