Conference Room

NOTICE: This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.

A Magellan Class vessel's conference room

The Conference Room is a dedicated space aboard Magellan-class vessels. It is designed for formal meetings, briefings, presentations, and collaborative work among the ship's officers and command staff.

Location

The Conference Room is currently situated in the aft region of A Deck. It is located on the starboard side of the deck between the VIP Lounge and Armoury. The conference room is connected to the A Deck corridor, with a doorway to it on the room's inner wall.

Purpose

This room serves multiple functions critical to ship operations and crew coordination:

• Command Briefings: Used by the Captain, Executive Officer, and department heads for mission briefings, strategic planning, and status updates.
• Presentations: Equipped with a large display suitable for presenting data, reports, or visual aids.
• Diplomatic Meetings: May serve as a formal setting for discussions with representatives from other vessels or species (once implemented).
• Training/Review: Potentially used for specific crew training sessions or after-action reviews.
• Recreation: The video playback capabilities allow for recreational use, such as watching films or other content during downtime.

Key Features

• Conference Table: A central table provides seating for meeting attendees. The lighting on the table was specifically addressed and fixed during development (Build 0.225.0.10).
• Seating: Chairs arranged around the conference table. The textures for these chairs were updated/fixed in Build 0.225.0.43.
• Video Display System: A prominent feature is the integrated video player.
  • Functionality: Allows users to load and play content, specifically tested with YouTube URLs (Build 0.225.0.17). Includes a "Load URL" button and auto-plays on entry.
  • Synced Lighting: Features a dedicated light source synced to the video playback, enhancing the viewing experience when main room lights are dimmed (Build 0.225.0.17).
  • Development: The video player has been subject to fixes and improvements during development (e.g., Build 0.225.0.21, 0.225.0.62, 0.225.0.63).
  • Tutorial: See Tutorial:Conference Room Video Player for usage instructions.
• Room Lighting: Standard room illumination, which can likely be dimmed or turned off, particularly when using the Lights display system.

Access

Access is likely controlled, primarily intended for ship's officers (Command, Department Heads) for official business. Access for general crew or Passengers might be possible for specific scheduled events or recreational viewing periods, depending on ship protocols.

Development

Key features like the table lighting and the YouTube video player functionality (including bug fixes) were specifically added and refined during the development period covered in the Dev Build logs.
