Squad Composition:

[Tobias]

Oks what do you think would be the ideal squad for your Empire.
Limits: 6-12 people






My ideal squad (Vanu)

In APC:
1 Vanu Max, carrying extra medical supplys (squad leader)
4 Vanu w/ pulsar & beamer (AP), Medium armor (1 drives)
2 Vanu w/ Lancer & suppresser, Medium armor

In Escort Thresser
- 1 Vanu w/ pulsar & beamer (AP), Medium armor (driver)
- 1 Vanu w/ pulsar & beamer (AP), Medium Armor, Medic

In Escort Reaver
-2 Vanu w/ pulsar & beamer (AP), Medium armor

In scout and healing Skeeter:
-1 Vanu w/ bolt diver & beamer, medium/light armor

[Powerflux]

<-- Galaxy Pilot with 3 Elite Gunners.

Varried Cargo depending on commander's request.

[afex]

mine would be myself and a friend or two all in basilisks.

we'd dart around the country side and shoot up any enemys we find. if they chase us, we'll just lead them to a horde of TR somewhere

[Hamma]

This will be somthing that changes over time. Im sure many things will be experimented with.

Larger outfits will probably have an airborne, armored, and troop division. And will mix and match those depending on the mission and the enemy presense.

The possibilities are endless..

[Camping Carl]

To many annoying vanu, they're driving me nuts!!!

@#!%#$&......

[Hamma]

Take deep breaths. Its ok.

They ammuse me.

[Nubi]

DUDE know what would be kewl?

To rent our your Galaxy flying skills (to peeps who don't have certs in that field) make the drop, then get a take of the BEPs they get and all u had to do was drive

Sounds good in theory, but so does communism

[Jinxmasta]

My Vanu squad would most likely be small unless I was going on a serious and organized raid.

2 Medium Armor - Lancer & Pulsar - Ranged Magnification Implant
2 Medium Armor - Thumper & Pulsar
1 Medium Armor - Lasher & Beamer - Medic
1 MAX - Extra Ammo and Grenades

We would set up a camp near an enemy base and our MAX would hold all of our extra ammo plus the trunks of the APC and 2 Mosquitos. The Lancers would snipe out enemy vehicles and infantry with the Ranged Magnification Implant while the Thumpers rain down nades on the enemy base. A lot of ammo the ammo would need to be Thumper ammo as they will be using a lot. The Medic will make sure we all stay healthy and the MAX will be our ammo supplier and small tank type of thing.

[Nubi]

Ok what is this Lancer I hear about? I can't find any info on it

Is it some type of Vanu/Common Pool/Empire specific sniper rifle?

[Jinxmasta]

lol it's actually an anti-vehicle Vanu weapon that projects a very powerful beam. It isn't a sniper rifle but I will make it one! Since it will have a very small cone of fire, I will get a ranged magnification implant that will let me zoom in 12x. Now that I have just as good zoom as a sniper, I can shoot him and it'll be almost as accurate but a lot more damaging. A disadvantage would be giving away your position though.

[Nubi]

Well that depends on how quickly the beam dissapates

and since you won't be prone you can move a lot faster after you shoot


Here's what i plan to do:

Find a hill
Park Reaver/Mosquito (haven't decided which to drive yet) in nearby forest (if there is one) or hide it underwater (if you can) or just stash it a while away

Walk up hill
Sniper enemies
Run to Mosquito/Reaver
Fly off

i hope that you dont think that by wearing some goggles your gun becomes more accurate. you'll just be able to see your bullets(laser, whatever) missing in more detail.

ever used the SIG in sof2?

[Jinxmasta]

Umm I know it won't be more accurate but the Lancer will probably have such a small cone of fire that it will already be accurate enough to use as a sniper when crouching and staying still. Think about it, it's a beam and beams go straight forward. So I do believe the Lancer will be accurate enough to hit at long range.

[afex]

doubtful

[m0rphiu5]

personally i till be a stealth role, so here's my idea for an infiltration squad

4 Stealths:

3 with Mag-Scatters and combat knives and with melee booster cert and ofcoarse that sweet cert that makes you steps quieter.

1 with hacker's toolkit thing. This will be the person that hacks in and turns off defences, to aid the attack or just to cause confusion, he will then find a place to hide/steal weapons and cause caos.

the 3 'attack stealths' would be the ones to attack spawn tubes and assasinate leaders/important people.
