	As a Helms Officer, your duty is to fly the ship. Your seat is front and ~~centre~~ on the bridge, so you have the best view to parallel-park ~~<s>on top of</s>~~ by an orbital platform.

	Sometimes Centcomm will ask you to head to a specific planet. It's up to you as to how you plan to get the crew there. When you go to make the initial jump, you should check with Engineering and make sure the TEG is making power, and the plasma cans to the FTL drives are connected. Generally speaking, it's also a good idea to make sure your first jump is into friendly territory to ensure if something ''isn't'' set up, it can be ~~set~~ up without being shot to pieces.

	As a Weapons Officer, your duty is to defend your ship from enemy ships. This is done with the Tactical Console and the ~~NSV Astraeus~~' onboard anti-ship battery, which consists of a mass accelerator cannon and a phase cannon at roundstart. You are responsible for coordinating with the [[Munitions Officer]] about what shells to load. If one phase cannon isn't enough firepower, you can nag ~~engineering~~ to get a spare ~~circuitboard~~ out of Tech Storage and set up a second phase cannon: just know if a shot destroys your phase cannons, you won't have a spare board you can use to get that back online.

	The onboard anti-ship battery has a maximum effective range of about that of a planet - in other words, if you're at a nav beacon and you target a ship that's not at the nav beacon, you're wasting ammunition. Wasting ammunition's a surefire way to piss off both the Captain and the MO, because the MO only gets fifteen shells to work with.

Wasting ammunition's a surefire way to piss off both the Captain and the MO, because the MO only gets fifteen shells to work with.

	Also note that targeting different areas of the enemy ship will yield different results if you go to salvage: For example, targeting the hull will destroy the cargo holds and thus reduce the available loot you can scrap from the wreckage, while targeting the weapons will reduce the chance of salvaging a new phase cannon.

	Although ~~Head of Personnel~~ is technically your immediate supervisor, 99% of the time you'll be answering directly to the Captain or Acting Captain. It's important to keep the Captain informed and up-to-date on threat assessments. It's also generally a good idea to let them know when you enter or leave hostile space. If the Captain is dismissed or deceased, the ~~Head of Personnel~~ becomes Acting Captain unless they or Centcomm elect someone else to be Acting Captain.

If the Captain is dismissed or deceased, the Executive Officer becomes Acting Captain unless they or Centcomm elect someone else to be Acting Captain.

	While the Weapons Officer generally orders the Munitions Officer around in terms of ammo-loading, you should remember that they are both on the same level in the chain of command - neither one outranks the other. For example, a Munitions Officer is not obliged to allow a Weapons Officer into the Munitions Bay if asked to do so by the Weapons Officer.
