Planetside Roles

[Hale]

Who's doing what with their initial certs??

[[AK]Rocks]

Like to do MAX or Hacker.

[[AK]Squidly]

Proposed squad leader hierarchy:

Squidly
Hale
Bribo

...in that order.

If I'm not on, but Hale and Bribo are, Hale gets the squad leader tag. If only Bribo, Chooz and Rick is on, then Bribo gets the tag. If Hale then joins, he gets promoted. If I join later, I get promoted to squad leader, etc.

To recap- we're doing this to make sure that we focus command EXP one of 3 individuals. It won't do us any good if we have 5 guys at Command level 2. Lets get 2-3 guys up the ranks as fast as possible.

Also, I'll set up the "outfit" and invite everyone to it.

As far as certs, everyone will need a "ride" or a Max cert initially. Mabye we should concentrate on making ANT runs for a few nights until we get leveled up to 6 or so.
Bribo, if you want to take Harasser, you can also buy ANTs. I'll cert in Galaxy.
It'd be nice if we could get an engineer to do repairs on the boat when we run into trouble.

I figure that after we get to 5 or 6th BR, we can trade in some certs and start in on our real specialties.

[[AK]Bribo]

I really don't have an interest in Squad commander.

I plan on going Medium Assault, Special Assault, Harasser as my first three certs.

[Hollowpoint]

Maybe if you offer stitch an important position he will play. Secondly, is the outfit going to be trying to stay up in the outfit points, if so, might want to recruit people a bit.

You're third in command. Your role at that point will simply to be "lets go attack X".

This isn't like planning BF1942.

HollowP - I don't see us recruiting for PS...

[[AK]Bribo]

... but I'd encourage anyone who is playing any game with us and hanging out here in the forums to fill out an application form off the main AK website.

[Hale]

I'll be the Engineer if someones a Medic.

[[AK]Palooka]

What am I? Chopped liver?

Seriously, though, the squad leaders should be the people who play the most, period. That way, those people will be racking up the command experience. I'd enjoy playing as squad leader, but I can't say I'll be playing every day.

...and that was factored into the decision...

If it makes you happy, you can be 4th after Bribo...

[[AK]Bribo]

I plan on playing the bejeezus out of this game.

Then, if I lose interest, selling my account on eBay.

[[AK]Hylander]

I'm "behind" since I didn't get to participate in the BETA and will be starting from scratch other than from reading the manuals. I'm fine with whatever command structure you put in place because I'll just ignore all of you anyways!

I'll fill whatever role we need, but I was thinking of taking on roles that may not be "in your face" battle hungry such as hacking & engineering or something along those lines that may include driving transports and the such. Then in 'combat' role, perhaps sniping (hey.. they come in handy!)

So I suppose certs in infiltration suit might be helpful along with transport ships, etc.

Just some thoughts and what I'm "interested" in.

[[AK]Squidly]

We can use hacking, and healing. Engineering is always valuable. I'd stay away from the big transport vehicles at first... they take some getting used to and have a way of killing entire squads.

I just certed in Medium and Galaxy. I'm an NC BR 3 on Emerald East. See you all tonite at 9

[Hale]

Hy:

The infiltration suit isn't foolproof (ask gunny). There are serveral different ways to detect 'cloakers'. You may be better served getting hacking and other certs before the suit and see how you like it.

If you want to be an engineer, I'll take medic. A combat engineer is similar to a Tribes deployer (go figure ).

[[AK]Squidly]

If we're doing ANT runs initially we need medic, engineer, a Max and a hacker.
