Ship Inspections are an optional part of the post-recruitment process and are generally handled by Fleet Command or DS13 Engineering. It acts as a prompt and opportunity for starship-focused interaction, for those who want to expound more on their ship’s capabilities and highlights (or flaws!).
A written evaluation (on our part, not yours!) is usually the result of these interviews and gives you the chance to publicize your ship’s highlights (or flaws), and see if it’s being perceived the way you want it to. They usually take about 1 to 1.5 hrs (see template report for more info) and are by appointment only. To have one scheduled, contact the Fleet XO (Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll), the Chief Engineer (Sivath@thesophist) or another engineer of your choice.
Note that any advance information on your ship that would be found in a Starfleet record on the nets would be highly appreciated. :geek:
Ship inspections tend to fall in one of two categories.
General Readiness Inspection: A basic inspection to verify the operational status and capabilities of a vessel and its crew. These are generally routine evaluations which may be performed upon a vessel's transfer into a new fleet or squadron, at the request of a command authority, or at random intervals. These inspections are performed by a command authority.
Technical Inspection: A detailed and thorough inspection of a starship's systems and components by an engineering authority. These inspections may be routinely scheduled as part of a vessel's maintenance cycle, or requested by a command authority in response to a suspected technical issue. Technical inspection results are often directly utilized by command authorities to assist in decisions regarding the vessel's future.

EVALUATOR'S NAME: Dmitri R. Konieczko AUTHORITY: Rear Admiral - Executive Officer, 38th Fleet VESSEL NAME: MISSOURI VESSEL CLASS: AVENGER COMMANDING OFFICER: MATTHEW FLYNN INSPECTION STARDATE: 95706.2
PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF INSPECTION
General Readiness Inspection: A basic inspection to verify the operational status and capabilities of the USS Missouri and its crew. This is a routine evaluations performed upon the vessel's transfer into the 38th fleet.
CONCLUSION
The USS Missouri is running at optimized or above optimized limits in many fields. It is this authority's declaration that the USS Missouri is fit for active duty in the 38th fleet.

DISCUSSION
The USS Missouri appeared a well disciplined and ready vessel upon the authority's arrival. During inspection however it was revealed the vessel was not equipped with the emergency communication frequency. This was provided by the authority at the time of inspection and was promptly keyed into the ship's communication by a Lieutenant Than, USS Missouri.
The Ship's Commanding officer, Matthew Flynn informed the authority that the vessel was light on medical staffing, however well equipped and not negatively affected in it's ability to provide medical care in any capacity. Captain Flynn spoke of increasing the vessel's staffing to rectify any shortcoming situation.
NOTES Hull is kept in high order of maintenance, with within acceptable levels of baryon accumulation within the hull. Minor fading has occurred on the port side airlock label, however the notice is still legible. Chief Engineer Brex will replace the notice in the coming repair cycle.

NOTES There is a minor issue where the backup shield generator takes an abnormal amount of time to raise after the primary has failed under simulated conditions. Power distribution is not at fault nor does the software appear to be in error. Instead, the error appears to be a matter of simple physics where due to the increased density of the primary shield, the backup generator must wait for graviton flux distortions to return to normal levels before engaging.
This may be solved by installing a higher rated generator in the secondary array, or decreasing the power of the primary array (however this would also decrease the effectiveness). As the secondary array is otherwise fully functional I am content to pass this portion of the inspection with a warning, however it is advised to be addressed as soon as permissible.

NOTES The events of last year weigh heavy in the minds of the crew of Dallas. Both the evacuation of Deep Space 13 and an emergency shutdown of the Warp Core following a propulsion test. As a result, the crew of the Dallas maintain a rigorous emergency procedure roster performing all applicable drills for a vessel of this class, as well as additional combat procedures. Stores are maintained in line with the Excelsior class specification for store rotations, and equipment and supplies is kept to a high level of order.

INSPECTION NOTES Captain Holmes maintains a high level of order and process aboard the U.S.S. Dallas, the senior staff are competent and carry their duties to a high standard in line with Starfleet ideals.
The Dallas herself is kept up to date, and in line with the latest equipment upgrades applicable for the Excelsior-class of this age. It is the opinion of this inspector that the adage of “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” most certainly applies here and the result is a finely managed vessel that is expected to serve Starfleet well over the remainder of her hull life.
