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 is a last resort tool to instantly remove someone from the round when they pose a legitimate threat to either the ship, its crew, command, or the operation as a whole. Its useful for making an example of someone or to just end someone who can be arrested in a reasonable amount of time.
Situations where BE is legal are:
1.PO is actively ignoring calls to lock dropship, resulting in multiple times where Xenos can board the dropship, when ordered he yells over comms “Fuck off its fine”
2.A PFC murders CL for the horrid crime of being the CL, PFC fires at MPs trying to arrest him and they are having a hard time arresting him
3. Bravo SL repeatedly says over comms he’s going to murder me when he comes up on Alamo, he is also trying to incite mutiny
3. Delta refuses to follow my orders and instead attempts to mutiny against my legitimate command, if they fail I am within my rights to deny treatment and to execute them.
BE is mechanically different from a normal execution because there is no estimated time or preparation involved its literally just, CO shoots, crime doer dies, CO announces the reason for BE, and that's it.
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 Nathon is a Californian with a background in negotiating skills and generally has a friendly enough attitude to talk it out with others if escalating a situation can be prevented(Unless they’re CLF). When it comes to the OP as a whole I'd let department heads run their respective areas and focus more on CIC and what the marines are doing.
It’s usually a case-by-case thing when departments revolt so I’ll separate my answers for that part of the question.
Insub Req: I’ve played RO enough to estimate req revolting due to command being poor at communicating with them/sending supplies and such. I’m plenty experienced with sending crates and stuff and would be more than glad to ask RO what the issue is and how we could solve it. If its req revolting for some dumb LRP reason I’ll just send MPs and have XO/Synth replace the RO
Insub Engineering: I don’t have any experience with MT rework so I’d just have to ask CE what the issue is and figure it out from there. If we can’t reasonably solve the issue and they choose to revolt still I’ll just send MPs and have XO/Synth load OB from now on if I must
Insub MP: If the MPs are against me there’s a big issue. If they’re trying to arrest me without faxing HC and everything I’d just Ahelp over it. If HC has given them permission to arrest me and I’m clearly guilty I’d just accept it and get it over with. If it’s just the CMP against me with no valid reason I’d demote him and select an aCMP
Insub Command/XO: This is a huge problem if my own number 1s aren’t with me. I’d talk with my XO to diagnose the issue, if I’m a poor leader I’ll let XO handle the OP, if not then I’d try to convince him that we’re doing fine and to just fax HC if he has a problem with me. If it gets to the point where XO is trying to commit sedition I’d either arrest or just BE them at that point.
What do you think is the job of a Commander? OOCLY the job of the CO is to make the round more fun for everyone on the marine side, they will be blamed for boring rounds where marines hug cades and nothing happens until admins intervene and end it for them. COs are also adhered to a higher standard of RP than your average PFC and are meant to consistently stay in character to retain their whitelist.
ICLY the CO is the big cheese who has authority over everyone else, it’s usually their job to plan out the operation and see it to the end (unless he gives XO the reigns). They will usually be blamed if the OP goes south and marines are forced to evacuate. They differ from XO with their power over MPs, pardoning privileges, and the ability to slightly modify SOP.
As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role? Please let tablet/announcements console have a tab that lets CO/XO view SL cams. I feel so bad when I have to shove an SO aside to look at their camera.
What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted? I'll be honest I’m not the best leader ever but I can at least RP and try to prevent boring Cade-hugging rounds where nothing is accomplished for 3 hours. Also as a part-time PO main I would like to #MakeCASgreatagain
