Looks like interest is there. For reference this will be an independent school (means you don't have to join any virtual fleet). So now the call to arms .. anybody out there who be interesting in developing such a school or at least parts of it.

The following is just some sort of Brainstorming (some might call it Brainfarting), how I would approach the whole thing.

I'm thinking about a Basic part which deals with principal operation of subs and advanced classes for the individual plattforms. Of course if the need arises, this could be expanded with some sort of "Perisher Course" or somethink akin to it, for Advanced Tactics.

All thats needed is someone to put together the theoretical information for basic sub ops in a conscise manner, preferably in one document (don't has to be new, maybe ask the authors of the various manuals if you can use parts of their stuff) which can be provided for students as a one stop manual for their basic course. As for the class based advanced courses, there would be a need for class related information within (again preferably) one document.

For future students it would mean they download a basic manual which takes them step by step through the basics, which they can try in MP under supervision of an instructor later then. This can happen as the Instructor sees fit as long as it works.

Once they are safe in basic handling of their boat they can start the advanced course on their plattform of choice and get the manual for their class. Again after some time with the manual and maybe some offline practice they get in MP with an instructor.

Once they feel safe on handling their boat they can either take on the next class, or concentrate in mastering their current boat.

As a final "incentive" I (or someone with better artistic talents) could create a nice certificate for every step, means Basic, Individual Classes, Perisher Course (?). But thats just something for the sidelines, more a fun thing I think :hmm:

So whats needed :

A Basic Sub Operations Manual
Operations Manuals for the individual classes
SP & MP Training missions for the Basics
SP & MP Training missions for the classes
Instructors
People who write/create the above mentioned things

Whats not in? I'm not a fan of grades. If the instructor & the student thinks the student got the stuff down pat enough to go on, and can justify that descision then its cool by me.

I'd gladly provide the CADC as a host for such a school. For the documents, I would suggest using Word/PDF or something like that,, because it can be quite easily downloaded, printed and read offline. If however the developers of the relevant documents prefer to have an online variant as well, that can be arranged.

Anyway now it's up to you ... any takers ??
