! CR5 aquisition !

D3V · 2004-10-12, 01:11 AM

A great enhancement and encouragment to leading squads, platoons and the aquisition of CR5, would be to get 1 extra implant slot: enabling 4 implants in total !

What do ya think?

All Thoughts Welcome!

I dont like it because that is makeing Command rank even more like Commando

Trade you the implant slot for that *^*&*&&% OS

Having more CR5's does not mean you have more leaders.

You only get more "leaders"

That's for damn sure, CR 5 isn't really a rank anyway, it's a privilege.

You hit it on the mark right there. I wouldn't be a CR5 right now if my oufit didn't want me to be one. They were behind me 100% in my quest and now I have the privilege of representing them before the CR5s and the Empire.

hear, hear.

also, i don't consider CR5 as the last thing you can get...
i consider it my ticket to killwhore. i've never certed in HA or ... well, anything besides MA, since i was leading squads and acting support roles (15 points dedicated to equipment certs, 5 more for support vehs)

so now that i'm not leading... it's time to pass 5k kills

what if they didn't add another implant and required use of an implant slot for OS?

Reija · 2004-10-12, 11:34 PM

I doubt that would happen, however if it did then I'd probably forgo the OS. I know that sounds weird but I rarely use it.

As far as your killwhoring goes Martyr, I'm there with you, however my outfit has required certs so it doesn't leave much room for more than my Sweeper. I've considered dropping AV and CE for Lasher, however I'm loathe to resort to HA.

Precicely the problem with CR5 is that people only want it for the backpack and OS. Then they realize they can spam global like a dipshit. What CR5 needs (and it has been said before) are enhancements that deal with leadership directly. The only incentives for it need to be of the leadership nature

Lartnev · 2004-10-12, 12:25 PM

Queensidecastle took the words right out of my mouth

Baneblade · 2004-10-12, 09:16 PM

A lot of people look at CR5 as the last thing you can get.

martyr · 2004-10-13, 12:42 AM

yeah. i've OS access for ten months now, and i know i haven't fired the thing more than a dozen times.

i wouldn't give it up for an implant, though.
if i can OS that last ams and turn the tide on an attack, i'll deal with getting killed a few extra times

as far as the killwhoring goes... i i'm looking at HA and unimax.
i have a new respect for the lasher after playing TR for a night on markov.
the guy i squadded with was so entertained by my surprise that he actually quoted me over global as saying "hfs, the lasher is dangerous"

D3V · 2004-10-13, 02:32 PM

OK a rehashing of the implant at cr5 idea then ! how about this, br21 is able to be aquired once cr5 is reached, but this takes as long a time to get as cr5 does to get going from cr3 to cr5. This ought to get the leaders among us back in the field!
