: As this is a site about role playing how many ships are you currently involved in? Playing a character on? Either CO or XO of? Hold a DH position on? Play the part of GM on?
I'm currently involved on six ships, which is a good load for me.
USS Valkyrie (Fleet One): I'm GMing the Valkyrie, as well as serving as her counselor and a science junior officer.
USS Atlantis (Fleet Three): I'm the CO of the Atlantis.
USS Alliance (Fleet Four): I'm the Chief of Security on the Alliance.
Oed V (Fleet Six): I'm the Lieutenant Governor of Oed V, which is basically an XO position. It currently doesn't count toward any limits; however, that will be changed in the new charter due out shortly.
USS Challenger (Academy): I'm the CO of the Challenger.
USS Columbia (Academy): I'm the GM of the Columbia.
So, let's see, that brings me up to six ships, two GM positions, two CO positions, one XO position, one DH position, and six characters. I'm very devout to my characters and most of them have lengthy backgrounds. Take a look at http://www.star-fleet.com/stf/characters if you want to read some of them!

: Based off the last two PDept reports as well as Census reports the membership of STF is in a state of decline. Can you all tell me what you feel would be the best thing to do to get more members to join STF?

Jack and I feel that our first step to stopping the decline in membership is to keep the members we already have. In the past few terms, there has been an incredible turnover in ship crews, which is not only bad for member retention, but bad for the ships in general. We aim to isolate the reason for this turnover. We believe that, while the real life monster does have an effect, the lack of support and training creates burnt out players. We will ensure that these members have the right tools to not only succeed at their positions in STF, but to enjoy them as well. Having happy, skilled role-players is the first step to finding and retaining new members, as these are the first people they are going to encounter in the club.
Thanks for your question, Eddie!
