[@stardust] Random outsider jackass opinion time:

I think you should at least have an actual CS guide/skeleton/structure in place for ship/force submission since I can tell that there is a good deal of confusion as to what is going on. Whats been of this RP thus far seems to have been a disorganized mess that's just been bumbling along since you as the GM have a different approach than what the players seem to be having but aren't communicating with the players as to what exactly you want from them.

Also, making a overview post as the first post in the OOC is generally a good idea; you copied and pasted the interest check into the IC and it does give off a certain... vibe and none too positive of one too. I highly suggest that you first do some RPs as a player on site first to get to know the feel of how things are usually done and then tried to GM.
