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? I would rather not perform a BE unless the situation cannot be contained using non-lethal means. Or the situation calls for immediate defusal. Only to be executed when the MP force is insufficient with pacifying the threat.
For me, I would most likely BE if the lives of either myself or the people around me is endangered and/or when someone is intentionally causing damage to the ship itself and/or majorly compromising the integrity of the operation. Attempts to usurp command is to be negotiated if possible. If a peaceful, acceptable solution cannot be found, then a BE will be executed under these extreme circumstances.
A BE varies from a regular execution due to its extrajudicial nature, fast-forwarding past all the processes that a regular execution would have to engage in and eliminating the perpetrator without all the time taken on arrests, appeals and other tasks that may cause a disruption to the operation.
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 Odell usually tries to be just and approachable, despite most of the time where he shall be viewed as methodical and orderly.
Other times, Odell may just be a little cynical and make a few jokes, to improve crew morale and improve his public opinion, when the chance is granted.
Odell does not mind taunts/insults/criticism, me may seem unflinching when he is criticized. However, he still takes all his negatives to heart and will attempt to improve on it, despite not showing much of a reaction.
Odell leads by example; encouraging his men, accepting his faults and always putting the success of operation before all else. He will often include quotes that are either relevant to the situation or those that which may or may not improve morale and combat efficiency.
During the insubordination of a crew/marine, the MP’s/deputized officer/synth will be utilized to arbitrate said perpetrator, then a reasonable conclusion is to be achieved.
For the insubordination of mission-critical personnel; IE: officers, SL’s and MP’s,
The same process is to be taken but a lighter sentence is to be carried out. If insubordination continues/the sentence exhorts it, a suitable AND competent replacement is to be found.
What do you think is the job of a Commander? The commander's role is to enforce discipline while delegating tasks, promoting the efficient and harmonious conduct of the operation which will ultimately lead to its success, all the while analysing the situation before making decisions and taking responsibility for the consequences that are subsequent to the decisions that are made.
As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role? I think the commanding officer could do with additional means of co-ordination and procuring intelligence, such as: a device for completely monitoring and sorting communication that passes through every channel, giving the commander a tool that assists in keeping better track of information, relaying and regarding information with greater precision.
What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted? I could provide adequate leadership onboard the Almayer, improving operational integrity by being a strong source of leadership and decision-making. Also, a person to blame when the operation goes wrong.
