Squad Leader Archive
Thread: Ooh a Squad Leader my group thought.
They were happy that they had a squad leader in lead.
First thing they asked before the rebels attacked us was:
You can buff us so we hit better yes?
You make us defend better yes?
You make us good yes?
I used my /sysgroup and said "incomming rebels North!"
I fired off my Rally....failed...okay I can live with that..Told the men to fire on one rebel at a time, and told em who to start with...
Wham and a blaster hit me, knocking me down, followed by a volleyfire from the 3 rebel marines taking orders from the rebel who just shot me.....And I was looking at the stars...
I guess, as a squad leader, my job is to lead the men, and make sure they dont get hurt...And I guess I just did that...by being their meatshield....
And the kids I leaded were so happy about having a Squad Leader in charge..They didn't even get to see my uber Rally....
It's getting darker, the sewer stinks, and I'm running out of cheap wisky
Those thoughts and others when i first saw Sl back in beta. some where
Oh wow I want to be an SL but as soon as they (NPC or Players) figure I am teh commander of a group I am hosed so... be a smuggler (when it works) and use FD to help command the troops i lead with /sysgroup. keep the orginaized that way if no doctor is around to revive me.
thought Sqaud leaders First on the field first into combat and last to leave.... prefeerably alive.
Thought Squad leaders will be like WW II Lt.s and up there in the heat of battle not like a general say kill this and that.
after release...
I see Sqaud leaders after release...
the enemy and NPC oh there is an SL leave him be kill the others.
I feel like if i want to use my not so hot commands like rally I got to be a general .. kill that one oh i can not go in they might hurt me while I am tring to get rally to work.
when I go down and FD works (weither it works or not is not an issue since it does fail) /sysgroup is lost in the heat of battle and other system messages. why? becuase we can not even make it a different color.( hey theres an Idea let us color the /sysgroup color.)
I am waiting for rally to make a difference at least slightly noticable. maybe steady aim act as aim for a durtion of 60 seconds... I am willing to die for the cuase .. or take longer if this stuff was noticable... even slightly. but right now a lucky steak does the same thing.
I like the professions idea.. but right now toomuch is not noticable and being a novice med helps the group more and mobility 1, then rally and steady aim.
