With the NDA lifted....Commanders?

Prolific · 2003-04-11, 09:17 PM

With the NDA now lifted what type of skills/benefits do the commanders get as the progress through the levels....?

To be honest its still in the works. SOme of the things you can do now are use the uplink device to get all friendly and enemy locations on a continent. Its sort of a "snapshot" of whats going on currently. You can set waypoints and send directed voice commands (click on someone in your squad and do a voicebind, this just sends it to that person) There is also talk of some "undisclosed" features we still dont know about.

oops, almost forgot at CR5 you can send global and continet wide chat

Are BEPS and CEPS seperate? As in can you get to the maximum rank in both of them simultaneously?

Edit: Oh yea, sorry, FAQ, right... :o

I read that the commanders can do tactical sketches on the continent map and then teammates can print them out.

please read the faq

I was wondering how long it takes to reach a certain CR (e.g. how many battles you have to command before you get a rank.)

If this is in the FAQ please direct me to the FAQ

I'd say that the first 5 are pretty easy to obtain (since I heard you could get them in the VR trainning area) then it probably starts becomming progressively harder to advance as you get higher and higher (for all you ass holes out there, no, I'm not talking about getting high on drugs). Ofcoarse this is just a guess.

Well... considering there's only 5 Command ranks.... I'd say no, but I figure you meant BR or thought there were 20 command ranks.

But command ranks are supposed to be hard to get, so I think even the first one takes a few base caps or more.

I was talkin about battleranks and there are 20 ofem, not sure how many command ranks there are though.

Edit: .......and I just realized spikespiegel was asking about command ranks.

CR1 is fairly easy to obtain with a few base captures. The uppers levels will certainly take some time. A few folks have reached CR3/4 in the last time since they reset the character database but you're not going to have 3000 CR5's running around anytime soon.

Toimu · 2003-04-12, 08:49 AM

I got CR1 after ~5 base caps. (Got my cool one shin pad also) CR1 is easier to get than go from BR10 to BR11.

P.S. You must have people in your squad before you start the hack, other wise, you just get BEP's for the hack.

Hamma · 2003-04-12, 12:12 PM

Like mars said, I am at CR4 and nowhere near hitting CR5. It's very difficult to obtain CR - in game its going to take months and months to do. As you wont be able to run around capping random bases
