Plot Oriented</strong><br/>These tend to be more focused on the various functions of the crew, rather than the crew themselves. They are a bit more fast-paced with a goal in mind. While there is a goal, the means to get to the goal are often cloudy. This gives Trekkers/Trekkies the opportunity to use their knowledge to solve the issues at hand logically and hopefully not blow up the ship.<br/><br/><strong>2. Character Oriented</strong><br/>These tend to be more focused on the crew themselves. Typically the settings are vacations (such as Betazed or Risa), maintenance of the ship (crew usually on leave on a starbase), or other non-goal oriented missions (such as diplomatic conference, transporting, etc.). Because they can be open-ended, these missions will have a timeline (such as a month) so they won't go on forever.<br/><br/><strong>3. Other</strong><br/>Sometimes missions don't fall in either of the categories above...or they fall in both. Perhaps we have a very engineering related mission that requires nothing of sickbay. This would mean that engineering, security and operations are probably in #1, while sickbay, science, counseling and other are in #2.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
