better way to orginize troops

MYcrimsonTEARS · 2004-01-20, 07:52 PM

i have set up a simple system that will make cr5 have a easer time commanding. its basied on classes and ranks... say you are a CR0 wich is (if comanding) a squad leader... and you gain just enough points to be a CR1 wich is a plotoon leader. since you are a plotton leader you can only gain points if you are leading a plottoon... ok first off your thinking that this plan is shit for many reasons... i hope i can adress the main one. they should add one more slot in the plottoon... wich is the plotoon leader (duh

) this would alow the CR1 to lead his toops beater with out having to cheak up on his own squad.

i think each empire should have there own ranks... it would (to me) add to the fact we ARE diffrent empires. the TR should have the own the US merines (sorry guys i know thats nationaly bius) and the NC should have somthing to do with myths... no ofence but i dont play the NC... AT ALL! also the VS should have some kind of aisan sounding ranks ( i just think they resimble the japaneese)

i have also set up a system for BR but this is NOT a real or even a semi real ranking system its basid on that if your BR is high then you know how to handle your self....

1-3: trainie
4-5:rookie
6-10:combat ready
10-15:combat hardened
16-20:combat vetern

that i just though up as i was typing... it would be displayed after your name so friendlys will know who to cover and help first.

ok now for the last part of my post. for cr2 and up on the map screen there should be a button that diplays all friendly squads with commanders your rank or below your rank. is say a CR5 wants a plottoon to attack a base a serton way he will...go to map screen and click on the leaders name to /tell him his orders... its that simple... the leader can ether accept it as a misson or say no if they already have a mission it will be also displayed and who gave them the mission.

like i said it will help PS out.

sounds great but seems like the devs would shoot it down they tend to do that with good ideas.................................

MYcrimsonTEARS · 2004-01-20, 10:52 PM

thanks... and your right the devs love to do that.. and some how they got a grear idea that was posted two months ago

They already have Ranks for BR. Your uniform changes color as you go up in BR.

I like the idea of a CR-issued mission menu that you could pick a job from . . .

Yeah but considering how much pimping they have to do currently to a MASS AUDIENCE and still don't get any help, are they really going to waste their time drawing up little missions for one squadleader who will likely ignore them anyways?

OW OW OW.....Ok I have to say this....... SPELLCHECKER, there are so many spelling mistakes in the original post it pains me to read it.

Otherwise, the only major problem I see with your idea is the fact that we already have so many CR5s that can't agree on what should be done that Global communications have become a nightmare to acknowledge. Imagine if they all had the power to give direct orders to SLs. "Go over there" "No, Go over there"
Sadly, CR rank in this game has less to do with you ability to lead then it does with your ability to powerlevel your character with you friends.

MYcrimsonTEARS · 2004-01-21, 03:41 PM

to the last post, i was thinking about that all through 1-3 block... ok i have set up a system with this also...

ok the first three cr5s to a cont will be the only ones able to have full CR5 abilitys. i mean is you are the fourth you only have CR4 abilitys. the three CR's are split into three parts of combat... air, ground, and support. air commanders (comanders that lead a squad of pilots... doesn't include gunners.) can only give orders to squadrons and ground can only give orders to vech or troops.

since you have to be the first three you will wont to stay one a cont to make sure you have some kind of power... SO the only way to use your cud is if you are commanding that means the comannders that stay on home conts have to have troops... this alows for them to run patrols and stuff... since they will have to run patrols Spec. ops. will have to be more inventive... fun

how about that?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, use proper grammatical form!!! However unfair it may seem, professionalism is often the key to respect.

Heckler01 · 2004-01-21, 07:50 PM

Not a bad idea. Won't work, but not bad. Even though it did hurt to read...

Doppler · 2004-01-21, 08:06 PM

Too fucking complicated, honestly if it aint broke, dont fuck with it.

I'm gonna clue you guys in on a little secret. Get a platoon worth of guys on teamspeak workign together covering each others backs and what not. Everyone else will follow them.

MYcrimsonTEARS · 2004-01-21, 08:20 PM

why must people repeatedly tell me i have bad grammer/spelling... i know... and i dont care...

xmodum · 2004-01-21, 08:44 PM

yes .. bad grammer , plus ... ur sig was stolen from multiple sigs that u have seen. I have seen each of "your" sayings on some1 else's sig , so plz go back to school and stop stealing things plz

And way to complicated

Retroactive · 2004-01-21, 08:51 PM

it hurts the eyes...and this thread may be old but oh well

i personally dont think it would work. i myself am close to CR5 and DO NOT want to have my powers leveled to mere CR4. if that happened, what would be the point of getting CR5 if all the other CR5s get to a cont before you, rendering your hard work useless :\ i DEFINATLEY dont want to not be able to use my CUD. i dont want to only be able to gain CEP if im leading a platoon, first because it gives me headaches to have that many people, secondly the other squad leader will have no reason to stay because he gets no CEP as hes not a platoon leader.
