Re: |Freedom| Suggestions & Complaints

[Cutch]

Organization seems a bit of an oxymoron in Freedom, does it not?

The whole reason Freedom worked in STALKER was because it was a game mechanic just as much as monolith was. The entirety of the situation when it comes to squads is ridiculous because it will inevitably come back to the original argument of "WELL ITS FREEDOM SO I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! WE HAVE NO RANK STRUCTURE DERKA DERKA!" That, as unfortunate as it is, will recur in an almost seamless timeline.

[Yorty]

That's why I'd hope squads would work differently. Think of it more of a "gang of friends" than a squad. They work well together, so they're put together.

[N3gativezero]

I've been considering creating squads, but, for reasons stated already, I havn't. If I did, hoever, I'd probably create them based off peoples speciaization, for example each squad would consist of a Sniper, a Medic, a Specialist, and a few Assault troops, and be lead by either a Wardog or or a Veteran. So there would be two squads of roughly 4 or 5 people, with the A-Team being a separate third squad.

[Tom]

Could create squads that have no general purpose other than the fact that they are a team. Just be sure to have at least 1 medic in each, and some sort of "Badass" that the squad follows.

Sorta like this

Example

Greenland squad:
1.Some Vetran or other Officer (Squad lead)
2. Some other officer or fighter (Squad co-lead)
3. Member
4. Member
6. Member
7. (Potential medic)

Mad Cow Squad:
1. Some vetran or other officer (Squad lead)
2. Some other officer or fighter (Squad co-lead)
3. member
4. member
6. member
7. (Potential medic)

Let them name thier own squads and let them join as they please, but be sure to keep a balance in the squads. so that you don't have a massive super squad and a little midget squad

Also the numbering in the squad doesn't really cound for anything

And if all goes well your structure should look like this

Leader
|
Ace
|
Wardogs
|             |            |
Sqaud(L) Squad(L) Squad(L)
|               |              |
sqcl         sqcl         sqcl
|               |              |
Members  Members Members

The squaders communicate any ideas or complaints to the Squad Co-lead or leader, and they report up.

You also may want to hold regular officer meetings and squad leader meetings (Which the Co-leads may attend if they wish)

Therefore you have SOME form of organization yet its not too tight.

This is a WIP that I just came up with, so it may have flaws

Uh fucking this? I really have nothing to say other then I support this idea fully.

The flying Mongooses

[Smithy]

Actually Agree with the above, I would like to Support that also.
The idea of the communication would be nice, But with our numbers i think we could only have on possible squad :|

[Legit|Brandon]

There is quite a few of us you know It could work.

[Yorty]

Wanting to get some opinions on this. I'm making a new non-officer rank after Fighter for certain reasons, but I need to think of a canonical name.
My idea was Change "Ace" into "Commandant", "Wardog" into "Ace", and "Veteran" into "Wardog." And then the ranks would go:

Officers/Leaders: Head-Commandant-Ace-Wardog   Members: Veteran-Fighter-Seedy-Rookie.

Thoughts?

[Chrono]

Looks good, but i didnt like the co-leader rank name, if i think on anything better i will edit this.

[Yorty]

That's what the co-leader was in Clear-Sky, so eh.
Either that or slip "Experienced" between Seedy and Fighter, or after Fighter.

[Wolfinton]

I like my idea of Experienced.

[Tom]

I think it should be "Legendary, Ace, Wardog, Guerilla." as officers and then "Vetran, Fighter, Seedy, Rookie" as members

"Old old Freedom" was the best because "old old SRP" was the best.

I forgot to mention the furry incharge of monolith anybody remember grave surfing monolith? and the tank? oh god

i want it back :'(

[lolKieck]

Enforce a lil' bit of discipline, yapping and questioning orders = cleaning suits for a week or more. I don't know, but maybe it'll help with drama and such.

Nah, we tried that before and it generally just started a different kind of drama, one that lasted even longer than the one before. We'll take care of it, no worries.

I advocate a return event in which we re-establish a base of operations in the second server (alpha map).

He means going to Server 2 and "Reclaiming" the Freedom Base, even though it's really not taken by anybody at the moment.

Server two is taken by Duty.

What.. So the whole server there is DUTY's? I think I agree with Trenchman, we should reclaim a base there.

[Goose]

You very well can but that is up to CC to organize with me not involving any of you atm.

[trenchman]

Well, we sort of did a reclamation operation already; yesterday, we patrolled through server 2 and IC discussed reclaiming the base. Since there was literally no opposing force through the entire patrol and no one laying claim to the base, I think we may have already informally announced to the whole Zone that we're back in the sector. So we might as well stake our claim anyway.

Besides, this will get the war with Duty back in swing. And who doesn't love a good fight now and then, eh?
