GFC at night

If you have a powerful PC or get a chance to use SLGo/SL onlive then you can push secondlife's graphics to the max with shadows, water effects, focus and light sources all switched on. If you get a chance to do that when the sim is set to night you get to see how peaceful and beautiful the GFC can look, just check out these pictures below and the web album link.

Pic of the Day - Join GFC

GFC Engineer Wolfie Foxdale's spock "It would be most logical to join the GFC" model

Who would argue against a large cartoon style spock standing next to the sandbox stating how logical it would be to join the GFC (GalaxyFleetCommand). Would you seriously debate such reasoning, question vulcan logic on the subject?

Nah, it wouldn't be logical to do so. If you like sci-fi, partial to a bit of fan based trek and not already a member of the group and have a secondlife account then why not come visit the sims, have a look around and in the face of overwhelming logic join the group.

Some GalaxyFleetCommand Locations to visit (requires Secondlife account)

Station Welcome Area

Sandbox

Klingon Village

Holodeck (RP sets)

HQ

Markets - Ground Market - Space station Mall - Infinity Market

Rental Skybox - Constellation Homes - Station Homes

Airport

GFC Tram & Location Ride

GalaxyFleetCommand Fleet Admiral Katrina Bixby made a video which highlighted the tram which has been build to commute members around the sims taking a more scenic route. In the video she also points out other relevant locations in the sims people may like to visit.

We are also proud that this blog gets a mention for much of the work its done publishing the group over the years.

Teleport Boards

Getting around any sim if its your first time can be a little daunting, people generally want to go from A-B very quickly without the need to alway pick up some info or device, though those things can be useful. To aid in helping people (that includes members as well) Teleport Boards have gone up in certain main areas of the GFC by Research Division.

Locations are groups in rows "RP location/Sets","Shops & Rentals","Phoenix Space station","Public Sandbox","Tactical/Airport/Flight deck" and "HQ/Academy/Medical/Library". Selecting any of the rows gives you a drop down menu with the locations available and once chosen  a box at the top and bottom of the board indicates for you to click for teleport. The teleport options stays open for a few seconds giving people time to click it and others to follow.

If you need a quick way to get round and your near one of the boards which has the location you're going to on it, give it a try.
