How do you view the tool of Battlefield Execution to be used? What circumstances do you think it would be necessary to BE a member of the crew? Where do you think the Battlefield Execution Mechanic Differs from regular Execution and why? Battlefield Execution should be reserved for only those who are not doing there role while getting multiple marines killed and giving no sign of remorse or care it happened. The only circumstance i can think of for BEing a crewmember is if they are attempting to blow up my ship on purpose, attacking other marines on purpose to the brink of death (this does include those who even get mad at a certain character/role and beat them to death for what they did during that OP, that person will be Perma'd and the other will be processed, assailants will be processed and the MP's will have a field day). Battlefield Execution is used when the captain has some justification to commence the execution with his own gun/terms, while execution is a process someone goes through with the MP's under the permission of a higher ranking officer but the captain/XO does not have to get their hands bloody. I would also like to note that i would hardly EVER execute someone unless they break the reasons listed above and with my time on this server i have HARDLY seen things like that as XO or SO or any other role i play.
How will your Commanding Officer run his/her ship? Provide a detailed explanation on how he would handle situations that might commonly occur such as, a insubordinate Req, Engineering, MP, or Command Staff My commanding officer plans on constant communication because the soldiers need you to feel like you are fighting with them with every word and breathe you take while not landing his boots on the ground. For the XO i will have him cover any missing command role and if all command roles are filled i will have him assume control of groundside troops constantly telling me the situation while i have every radio station turned on listening and gathering current news and establish orders in order to win the current operation, between each map it varies what I will do to ensure total victory. I like to use multiple front tactics, securing key points, having each squad feel like they are committed rather than just *hey alpha secure this* and never speak to them for almost the rest of the game. I will avoid using the general masses as an excuse and use the squads so that the soldiers in each squad feel like they are meant to stick together like brothers rather than unga to the front with other people they don't know and get lost and die. I want each squad to understand what it is like to be next to eachother and how teamwork works and what it is rather than *general push all squads attack* or *everyone defend*. I hate loose orders i like to be REALLY explicit and if you have seen me play XO you will know what i mean. In regards to this if there is insuboridation among certain areas of the crew I will give them orders to do something to give them a purpose, I will have the MP's go ground side and have them defend FOB as well as be a QRF for insubordinate troops making there job role fun rather than stay on the ship and wait 5 years for a call down to the ground. If req is not filling orders or doing anything i will send the Synth, XO or SO down to train those CT's and take over for the incompetent RO to ensure that my supply line isn't bust and the troops are getting what they need. For the RO if he has no idea what he is doing or not sending supplies I will have the MP's threaten to brig time him if he does not follow orders of how to do request from the senior officer/synth i sent down. For engineering i can have either a Synth, SO, or XO be sent too in order to train the MT's and have there role be given purpose by sending extra MT's groundside and leaving the CE and 1 MT shipside (or just 1 MT if no CE) and have him do orbital and keep the engines running. And for incompetent command staff within my CIC will be trained personally by me, if they are deemed far to insubordinate and refuse to listen to anything i say while i try to help them i will have the CMP process them and we go from there. In regards to this the reason for insubordination most of the time is because people do not understand there role OR they do not understand the importance of other roles that they are influencing directly and indirectly every second they are on my ship. I will have an open door policy to those with any questions i will respond with the best i can, i will work with every single crew member through comms or hands on if need be to ensure that they can become a better person and even robust at their role. I want to work as best as i can to ensure that all my crew feels like they have a purpose or a role to do, every squad will feel like there squad is there family and the same goes for every job role out there. In conclusion if you give a marine/crew member a job they will more than likely do that job because you have given that being purpose.
What do you think is the job of a Commander? The job of the Commander is to ensure the safety of the crew, the ship, and any valuable Intel is secured to prevent the spread of the current threat.
As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role? I think the Commanding officer should have a console with a monitor specifically for all Command, MT, MP, Synth, RO, IO, and Doctors/researchers so the commander can keep track of the crew.
What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted? As said from all previous posts this is how I will run my ship. I will build a stronger crew with a stronger mentality. I will ensure each and every person has a purpose rather than using general masses or *all*. In conclusion I hope to increase the role play standard on CM and redefine the roles so people will work together in their groups and learn to understand that each and every soul can change the course of the battle one way or another.
Your story (potential topics listed below) Born in the year 2144 Brooklyn Snyder was born into a militaristic family with his father, James Snyder who served time as earth defense force who then was given the opportunity to become a security officer aboard the USS Sulaco in 2170. Brooklyn Snyder spent most of his years learning from his fathers footsteps and his mother Mary Hutchkins (now called Mary Snyder) about the USCM and the rights of humanity. His father teached him tactics of he had learned about dealing with people while his mother taught him how to care for people. In Brooklyn's spare time he took it upon himself to learn military tactics throughout history ranging from Julius Caeser, Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu, George Washington, Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Erwin Rommel, George MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and even his own father. He started off in a military academy for boys to learn the many value and duties of the USCM. He learned many roles starting from marine to Squad Lead to learning how to pilot a ship to running a full blown cruiser. At age 21 he Transfered to Virginia Military Institute and began his studies in in the military reserves towards captain ship. He graduated in 12th place of his class in 2170 when his father was enlisted into the USS Sulaco. Snyder ran small freighter ships between his time in the military not becoming a full blown active duty. Snyder started active duty in 2173 2 years after the attack on the USS Sulaco and the disconnection from his father since then. Brooklyn Started to become involved on small freighters and carriers leading relief forces to both ships and colonies alike. He was well known for his lowest casualites with the constant ambushes by CLF forces in 2175-77. Through constant evasion he wiped out enemy forces and secured a ground hold for other USCM troops to take hold. In the year 2179 Snyder received word his father aboard the USS Sulaco was MIA and the ship and all traces were gone. Enraged Snyder sent his crew and his ship to investigate what happened but by time he arrived he learned he was already too late, the USS Sulaco was nowhere to be found and the planet seemed to have been in smoldering ruins to hard to describe. As he began to leave the planet a UPP freighter came out of orbit and started firing on Brooklyn's ship the USS Continuity. After suffering heavy losses and the loss of his ship he was the sole survivor of the events and taken hostage by the UPP. As the UPP began to take the survivor and question him where the Sulaco went and there ship, unable to answer Brooklyn was beaten and imprisoned and was being sent to a nearby UPP internment camp. By time they arrived Brooklyn was able to escape and get in contact with a nearby Weyland Cargo Hauler and plot a course back to he post. By time he arrived and told the his fleet Admiral of the news and what happened he was arrested for insubordination and the loss of his crew through his recklessness. Now shattered ,in the year of 2182, and desperate a Weyland Yutani representative, who's name shall remain silent, took note of his actions and how he had served time to the USCM and even Weyland Yutani. So the representative offered him an intern role aboard the USS Almayer or to be tried and executed by the USCM. Brooklyn took the offer to become an Intern aboard the USS Almayer and started to climb the ranks from a PFC to the rank of a commanding officer, as intended by the representive aboard the Almayer in order to "refresh" Snyder's mind, and has been tasked with her crew to serve and protect the USCM colonies and Weylnad Yutani's interests. The captain was monitored both by Weyland Yutani and USCM high command in order to serve his sentence. He was trained among every single role on the ship by both his superiors and those he commanded as time went on. He learned to understand the marines aboard the USS Almayer and in 2185 he was set as the official Captain of the USS Almayer and all previous crimes were removed. Starting a new life Brooklyn Snyder has become one with himself and those around him. As now the year is 2186 he soon received a distress signal coming from a nearby colony. Will Brooklyn find truth to what happened to his father? Or will he die trying?
