The Captain's job¶
The Captain owns the Starbase: the person made at Welcome aboard. The Captain can add a First Officer to help; both of them get Engineering (the settings), the Shuttlebay's controls, Ship status and Sensors on the Bridge, and requests to answer. Only the Captain promotes and demotes, ticks ranks in Clearance, installs Modules, and reads conversations under oversight.
Engineering¶
Engineering has four tabs on the left, each with views along the top. Each view opens with a card saying what it's for.
| Tab | Views |
|---|---|
| Neural Net | Personas · Models · Rules and Decisions |
| Crew | Crew · Clearance · Audit log |
| Starbase | Network · Voice · Systems · Backups · Domain · Cargobay · First setup |
| Modules | Installed · Tools · Tool servers · Catalogs |
Restart Starbase is at the top right. Some changes (the port, HTTPS, a new Module) take effect after a restart.
A good first week¶
- Finish first setup and its Get started list.
- Add your crew, with birthdates for anyone under 18.
- Set up backups to another drive.
- Pair a Satellite or Shuttle in a room you use a lot.
- Look through Clearance: who may have the AI use what.
- Turn on two-step sign-in for yourself, before any outside access.
When something's wrong¶
The AI cuts in about real problems (a device offline, a sound problem, low disk, a failed backup) on the Captain's or First Officer's next message, holds what they asked, and asks whether to look into it or go back to it. Ship status on the Bridge lists them; Ignore silences one. See Systems and Sensors and Troubleshooting.
