Thread: Rifleman PA
Thought a little bit more about his and the more i do the more i like it.
A cool name for it
Rebel Armed Response <RAR>
Working, 4 groups of 6, each having at leastone Combat Medic, Squad Leader, Ranger, and of course everyone having Rifleman. Generally these groups would work in tandem but could go either way as well. Of course this doesnt mean if your usualcrew isnt on you couldnt join another crew for the night.
Additional to this i would allow 2 more characters to join the ranks of RAR but again they should be zabrak (commiting to the theme of it all) and they would be our Armorsmith & Weaponsmith, and a Architect of some kind as well. (Imagine how easy it would be to level up these guys if we all placed 5 harvesters each. That is 100 harvesters a day working away to get resources wouldnt take long at all)
Personally i think Zabrak are the best race for rifleman due to the willpower so i would like to see that all players involved be Zabrak and with the that, really being Zabrak with only the Ranger being able to talk to other players of all races. Maybe the Squad Leader as well.
Reason for this is we will seem real mysterious and could really role play the fact that we are an elite paramiliatry group if none of us can speak any othe language except Zabrak and English!
Picutres it now.
**Raiding Imperials are at Corellia with several AT ST and a loan rebel soldier sees this carnage and excapes. He gets the word to the Rebel Armed Response and withing 5 mins, 24 Master Rifleman are there cleaning up shop, taking out everything, and then they retreat to their Player City.**
I would generally make this an elite PA! Only 24 memebers (exception the 2 crafters suggested earlier) can be accepted unless another crew can be put together and they have to be zabrak and set up the way that we are.
And as for server, i would suggest, seeing as this is possibly something that we all could do with new chars we should all pick a server that now one had characters on.
Ive got a well advnaced on on Bloodfin. Any other server i am fine with.
May i suggest Valcyn (2nd PvP Server) and is generally pretty quite so we could get some good PvP fights going there.
Err
let me explaing, what i mean by quit is this.
It woudl give us time to get our act together and get really strong, and then as word spread i think you might find that Imperials version of the same thing might be popping up in the server as well
A good reason i think for Valcyn!!
Well sorry then, I can't join up with you guys. I am the leader of my PA like I said so I can't just up and quit on my server. Good luck, and if this ever starts to span servers you are all more then welcome in my hall.
And heres a tip for a secondary since its easy to get. Have the smuggler get underworld tactics 1 as well as slicing. You get more then enough pistol xp focusing on rifle
and it cuts the cost of faction perks excluding promotions. That way when expansions come out you guys can all get A wings faster, possibly be able to afford a capital ship, and could get a forward HQ and faction scanner and all that fairly quickly
Okay, I'm all for a new server. I think that there is some debate concerning which race is best for riflemen, Zabrak or Mon Calamari (high focus so specials don't cost as much). Mon Cals also get an extra experimentation point too, so it would be good for whoever takes up crafting on the side to be a Mon Cal. Whatever we decide the focus of the group to be, anyway.
As far as supporting professions, we have a list to choose from:
Architect (Optional)
Weaponsmith (Optional)
Armorsmith (Optional)
Smuggler - Slicer (Optional)
Combat Medic/Doctor
Ranger
Squad Leader
Swordsman (for melee defense/tanking)
I may be leaving one or two useful professions out, but for maximum effect, we should try to chose the professions that we will make to ensure *group* success.
Any more thoughts on this?
I am a Rifleman/Ranger on Flurry, but I would be just as willing to start a new char on any server.

why do we have to pick just one server? it should be a multi server pa and have an inner council of the leaders from each server. itll take more work, but i think itll be well worth it. our wrath should be felt throughout the universe. but also it would be helpful to other rifleman that might not get into the forums much. i say a few of us go in our respective server forums and suggest the idea andgo through the profession searchesin gameand ask each rifleman if they would be interested in joining a rifleman pa.
Since this is a fledgling idea at best, spreading such a group over several servers would probably weaken it. The idea was to have a fair number of riflemen to be in one group, maximizing the effect of our abilities to overcome what some might consider inadequacies. The use of tactics to flank enemies in sniping positions, for example, making a box with 4 people, a hexagon with 6...so that if anyone takes the brunt of an attack, the remaining rifles can target that opponent to bring it down before anything serious happens, and then be in ideal range. That can't be done in a trans-galaxy PA. I hate to ask others to give up their riflemen. I know I've worked very hard on my character, and he is only 3/0/0/1 rifles. I don't expect anyone with anything near a master rifleman to quit and start all over, and that is the difficulty with starting this *now*.
If this venture actually starts working, or Sony approves character relocating, we can probably get more people to join a group like this. The more successful the group is, the more likely similar PAs on other servers will start, and THEN, a trans-galaxy rilfeman PA would be a viable thing. But it will simply take time and dedication.
The lack of responses tells me we have a lot of riflemen who are unwilling for change, and I can't blame them.
Took,
Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to learn more...
However, I do think that a multi-race guild would be best. This way people can all be riflemen, but their character is tuned for their secondary skill, such as twilek for dancers, mon cal for weaponsmiths, humans/mon calfor architects, wookie for ranger, trand for melee, etc.
What's this about PvP servers? I've never heard of this, is this new? If this is so, I'd LOVE to join a PvP server and kick every BH's butt! The thought of 20 riflemen running around would scare the s%#$ out of ANYONE!
Also, I don't think we should deny ANY rifleman that wishes to join... after all, the more riflemen firing at one target, the quicker that target falls... Imagine everyone carrying T21's, about 1/2 hitting, and 1/2 of them doing above average damage for that weapon. If we have them sliced, that's probably over 150 damage in PvP (guesstimating here). That's 5 times 150... probably enough to drop anyone, excluding medics, mon cal,and some zabraks. Have one or two people dedicated to spraysticks (medics probably so they can heal people right away), and they'll be the ones to do the sniper shot DB'ing
Okay, we need to pick a server and starting location... all these thoughts running through my head is starting to make me REALLY antsy...
I'm going to make a character on Valcyn... trying for Calista Noir, a zabrak (I like the defences zabrak gives), but I don't know my start location. If I don't get Calista, I'll try for another name. I'll be going for either ranger or medic as my secondary.
If we pick a different server, I'll remake there, but for now, I just want to start on the LONG road of rifleman XP...
Calista, I agree that any race should be able to join the rifleman PA. I have also started a character on Valcyn, a Zabrak by the name of Ceiloh. I anticipate my secondary profession to be squad leader, so I'm setting up for that. I started in Kor Vella on Corellia.
Oh, and one thing I mentioned in my original post (different thread) was that my idea for a name was the GRA - Galactic Rifle Association. It is almost in jest, but I submit it to the community.
I'll remake my char then... I started on tatooine. I'll message u in-game. I won't be able to stay long, gotta go to work at noon CST.
I like the GRA idea, although it almost reminds me of the GRE more than the NRA...
One thing we're really going to have to do is support our architects/smiths/slicers/medics/melee. They'll have to put a lot of time into getting resources and/or doing crap jobs like using pistol or doing melee before getting their secondary professions up to par.
At the moment wouldn't it be best if everyones secondary proffesions was pistoleer only joking. No I like the multi server Idea. we're obviously all rifleman already so who would want to start all over again. The only problem with the multi race thing is that Wookies couldn't wear the uniform, however they are the only race that can effectively use ALL (read Bowcaster) the weapons in the rifleman profession so perhaps the uniform should be fur??

I only need 13 more units of wookiee scalp to make my jacket, then I can look just like you, only much shorter
