> One of my many Nova sites supports a Battlestar Galactica based rpg. As part of the game, we have several combat squadrons of vipers aboard the battlestar, however at this time only one viper squadron is considered to be PC and open for players to apply to.

> I have our NPC squadrons listed on the manifest page, as even though they are NPC during combat operations naturally those fighters will be in the air with us, and from time to time in game we might mention that one is flying a CAP patrol or something of that nature.

> The question I have relates to the Open Positions toggle on the manifest, and to the positions drop down in the join form.

> I would prefer that the NPC Squadrons (Departments) not show up on either the Open Postions list, or the position drop down from the join form.

> Is there a way to go into the code and edit things so that the NPC departments don't display in those areas? I know when I created them there was an option to check to have the department (aka squadron) display on the manifest which is the only spot I need it to show.

> I don't want them on the other pages as it could cause confusion with current players and prospective ones alike and also, streamlining those areas to remove the NPC departments would look neater.
