CR Problem that i heard about

[Gunslanger]

i listened to that community audio here. i like to chat on forums, so i'm gonna bring this up. the CR problem that people were talking about. i was thinking the exact same thing: a seperate interface screen.

i was thinking something that you can toggle on and off. maybe your interface screen can be determined by your current status. for example, if your CR 5, you'll have a list of all Platoon leaders-but not one of any squad leaders in platoons, just the platoon leader so you'll have an effective chain of command and keep spam down a little. then those single squad leaders names. have it where you could double click on the person's name to send them a tell and REQUEST for assistance in some way. over time, some CR's will get to know some Platoon leaders/Squad leaders and know who is dependable and what not. although they might not be in the same outfit, nor care to be, this will form somewhat of a bond between some people. vise versa, if you think a CR5 is an idiot, you get to know their name and you can ignore them, or place them on /ignore list.

then there should be a space where you type in orders(requests-this ain't the REAL military hehe) for those people that are solo or CR 0-1 who don't really know whats going on, they are just kinda following the rest of the force. type in what is going on.

for those soloers, or those odd squads where the SL is CR 0 or CR 1, their interface screen will have just one area: an area where they can see what all the CR5's wrote. they will see a CR5's name, double click it if they wish to and read what he has to say so they have a general idea of the bigger picture and can help his/her faction as they see fit. maybe even have a check box to let the CR's know they have decided to respond to their orders. then on the CR interface he/she will see a number of people that check the respond box so he/she will know whether to check that box off as "task filled" or something. but the space doesn't have to be a "task", it can be just a comment. each CR5 person can only have one comment or task per person on global and one on continent.

i know that this is flawed. i left out the CR 2-4 interfaces-can't think of anything atm. this was just off the top of my head after listening to that audio. i know that it gives CR5's a chance to have a better idea of how many friendlies are on continent. but, the window will just have platoon leaders and squad leaders. so that is very hard to estimate.

i am fairly new the this particular game. no where near new to FPS games or MMOG. i'm also in the military. but, i'm new, so don't flame me please. i'm just trying to come up with an idea to have fun discussing here. that IS what these boards are for, right?
