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? Should only be used on incompetent command staffs, insubordinate enlisted personnels. Though, in my own way of thinking, the only way we should BE a member of the crew is for:
1 - Plotting for a mutiny.
2 - Intentionally harming fellow personnel.
3 - Igniting fights between departments/squad.
The battlefield Execution mechanic is different from regular execution is that is executed on spot within any location, without trials or interrogration, While Regular execution is usually have been trialled and were authorized through discussion within other senior staffs to deem if the crewmember have violated enough for execution, if not. Then brig depend on the intensity of the crime they committed.
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 A commanding officer should run his ship by being in the CiC during combat insertation phase. Aswell rountine inspection on departments and marines. It is also important that the CO should maintain good relations with both the Senior Staffs and the Enlisted Combatants and Support Staffs to maintain effeciency within each wings of the crews.
For the situations such Insubordinates personnels, fighting between members, are to be immidiately brigged. Even if MP. This can be easily handled by calling MPs to the location of the instigator.
While for situations such as possession of explosive equipments and unwarranted usage while on the ship for personal interest (Aka blows up Req door), The crewmember shall be deemed as unfit for combat operations and leaved for the MPs to handle.
The Captain are not meant to handle them directly but indirectly through MPs and XO.
What do you think is the job of a Commander? A high responisibility job that require flexiblity, speed and rapid adaption to the ongoing situation on the field aswell on the ship. Not too reckless but not too serious and of course, Caring for his fellow crewmembers.
As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role? I believe the role is as good as it is, i never really needed anything to operate in the field as aCO when i play as XO.
Though i would appreciate for a better communication system. Aswell direct channel with SLs and other Senior staffs.
What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted? I believe, i can contribute many things. I have been playing since 20 of August, 2019.
I mained Command as PO, SO and XO for nearly a month (Start at September 4, 2019.)
I believe with my current skills, aswell my knowledge from my studies in the Vietnam Army will bring great efforts to our gameplay.
Though, i do not plan to play overly serious captain.
As a captain, i believe i should contribute in these ways:
Win battles.
Low casualties.
Cares for his crewmembers.
Use his Senior staffs to their full extense, no matter how useless they are, No man are useless, all man serve a purpose, just not utilized correctly.
Though mistakes will be made, False strategies, early push and friendly OB.
I'm not a genius in strategies. But i know my plans, But i also want to work with others. I have seen other captains, never rely on their fellow officers and field leaders, a shame.
Some would even deploy,
So in the end: I'm the brain and the core of the crews, my mission is to unite them to work for me and win. Not act all alone.
That how i will contribute.
Your story (potential topics listed below) Some says, heroes are forged by the fire of times. Some says heroes are born by god's blessing. But... Thats a story for another man... Cause this man that i'm talking about, is no hero. Just another common young man, wishing to change the world...
Kerry James Morrison, this young man named. Born in Manchester in a country called United Kingdom on December Eight of 2163. He wasn't unique, academic intelligent nor heroic.
But he was a fine man...
Kerry, Born in the rural area of Manchester from a military traditional family... Though, His father was a Weyland-Yutani Cargo ship captain while his mother were a former USCM reserve officer, She was a American and he was a British. Quite wierd ain't it? Anyway... Kerry have two brothers and a sisters, Kerry were the third brother, though, his two elder brothers overshadowed him: They were intelligent, academic achieved and successful. So Kerry were compared, even by his own parents. But he never faltered. He wasn't smart, he wasn't gifted.
But he were iron-willed.
By the age of Eighteen, the young man we knows settled on his plan. He travelled to United Americas as a student. Hardworking and diligent with patience, he achieved his dream:
To be able to enlist into the USCM like his mother before him and his Royal Navy grandfather. Its like its flow in his blood, the blood of a sailor.
Kerry, while not academic talented, he were a talented commander.
During his times in the Academy, he were talented though he was carefree, abit unpredictable and insubordinate to the educators of the Navy. But yet, he never failed a test. For four years since his enrollment, he never failed. No matter how hard those educators tried to fail him. From threats to baseless accusiations.
Though, It were all just trials in his life... Until the first battle.
He fought hard, he fought well. He watched his marines dying from their helmet cam. For every fallen marine, abit of him dies with them. He didn't want anyone to die. A normal patrol mission turned out into a bloodbath, ambushed and overpowered by the UPP mass manpower.
I can't remember how many times he break the table behind his seat. But, In the end, after a breakdown, he returns to his standard pose. Command with influence, I guess that how he is...
Kerry cares alot about his fellow personnel, no matter where they comes from. To him, they are his brothers and sisters... That why even in war, where death happens. Hes still sad, but he didn't break down, When i told him he should take some rest...
He would just say: "If i take rest now, Who will avenge my brothers?"
The Kerry that i knows is Obnoxious, Carefree, extremely unreliable and overly attached to female crews.
But yet, when in Command, its like a different personality: Diligent, Patient and very temperate. And to be frank: He truely thought this entire ship is his family. He cares about all of us.
When a Staff Officer doubt himself, he would calm them. When someone made a mistake, he would give them a donut nd says "No one is at fault in battle, fight on."
He always conservative in battle. Hes always lean on being more defensive. But he knows his strategy.
He doesn't rush, he doesn't charge. He diligently and patiently do it by phases.
In the end, Kerry won that battle. But not without a cost, Many men and women died. Kerry looked like his dead for a week. But he didn't cry nor he moans. He just stare into the void of space. Whispering words to himself. Asking for forgiveness because of his incompetency.
Ah, memories... Its been awhile. The kid that i know is no more.
I'm Rear Admiral Spencer, and this is my diary about a kid that i met when i was young. A kid that wasn't great, wasn't a hero, but were the symbol of his troops. One who would scarifice everything for his fellow battle brothers.
That the Kerry that i knew.
"So thats the story of the kid named Kerry. Admiral." -Rear Admiral Spencer said.
"Quite a long times ago, isn't it?" -The man said.
"A toast to our fallen brother Morrison." -Rear Admiral Spencer said as he raise his cup with the man.
And so the diary went into the memories of me and shipmates.
The story of a man that i knew when i were young that i served with.
Its just another story within the sailors of the USCM.
Not a hero, not a genius, not a god. Just a normal human being, born from dust and returned to the dust. Yet... He was happy.
So in the end... Everyone is the hero of their own story. This is the story of Kerry James Morrison, a average human being serving in the hundred warships of the USCM within millions of personnels. Just a name and a number in the ever-expanding world.
