Requesting tips to play RO

Post by GriffinG » 24 Oct 2018, 07:37

TIPS OR GUIDES TO PLAY RO
I looked over the guide section and I don't seem to find that many guides on playing RO/CT (They may just be that easy), so I decided to ask the question.
I wish to try out the RO/CT Role for a while. What could be some tips to help the "morning rush" go over smoothly and how to prepare for it. Any other tips that are RELATED to RO/CT role are welcome.

Thank you in advance for the tips!

First rush: Get important items ready to pick up easily:
- M41AP
- HEDP nades box
- Webbings
- Machete (For LV mostly)

take the orders and give the attachments.

After first rush:
FOB crate: 100metal, 30 plasteel --> 81 points
Spec ammo: (but not every time and depending of the spec)

PROTIP:
Pick up the quatermaster stamp in the RO office. Stamp the supply manifest, put them into a crate, close the crate, enjoy free bonus req points
Refuse all HPR request and smash the head of those person with a crowbar

HPRs are for nerds and should therefore be rejected all the time.

Ordering extra attachments is dumb and you should never do it.

BCs shouldn't only go to smartgunners because most smartgunners know they suck ass. And don't give them to medics. Medics should be medicing, not ungaing with a BC shotgun.

Remember that you can turn down any request for any reason including the perfect reason of "Because fuck you that's why".

Anyone asking for two gyro is a safety hazard and should be refused all future requests for anything.

Does the Requisitions point count have an upper limit?

If so, always buy SOMETHING, before hitting the cap, to keep the point generation going.

If it does no one has ever reached it to my knowledge, nor would they be given the chance.

Open the lines two minutes prior to briefing or even later. Marines need to hear those inspiring words before witnessing your majesty.
Remember to RP and type messages and /me's as long as you can. Show those amateur maggots who is the ultimate roleplayer here.
Hold the BCs only for smartgunners. It doesn't matter you have 12. BCs are only for smartgunners.
Never give HPRs to B18 specs, everyone knows their grenade launcher is a great weapon on its own.
Don't order webbings, you have cool black ones back there.
Close the line whenever anyone points at you or screams or even moves.
If a PFC asks for grenades, give him as many as he would like. A whole box? Give him two.
If a marine asks for one or two nades, don't forget to prime one of them. Just to remind them who's the boss.
Refuse if anyone asks for a scope, give them a stock instead.
Push people outta the line the moment you put the last attachment they ordered on the table. If they are too slow to pick it up, its their fault.
Close the line and call the MPOs if anyone complains.

OG RO here:

#1) Your the biggest low tier boss on the ship. Its a delicate rope to dance between Ship Box Bitch or CargRO King.

2) Requistions is sacred. Cool/Chill people only in the Sacred Cargo Cult. Someone SpeshulForces their way into Req? "OFF LIMITS AREA". Fails to follow? Sweet! close the shutters , stealthy throw 2 grenades somewhere non-useful, Lock SpeshForce inside the CargoCage, Yell for MP's to stop Bomb terrorist, watch RedBuds beat SpeshForce silly for terrorism. G'job RO, petition for a new medal for doing civic duties.

3) Start your shift off right. You start in your OWN office with your OWN ordering console. Order everything you want right off the bat in the FIRST 5 minutes. No one is around to double check how many points you start off with.

Want 3 HPR's? Order them. 5 Boxes of Barrel Chargers. DONE and DONE. Burn the order forms. Anyone asks questions? "It was there when i started the shift"


4) Cargo Techs being bitchy or annoying, Not chill with how you do things? "I need you to go and check every troopers attachments right now and get a #. Top Priority."

5) Mechanics/ Synths Annoying? Paperwork SignOff.... or if truely annoying, "Oh no! Synth's/ Engies mishandling grenades in cargo, Help, please! Explosions! Poor cargo!"

6) People ask you for things, its your job to tell them that "that thing" is on its way. That "That thing" was sent down 20 minutes ago. You must have misplaced or lost "That thing". A PFC named Baldie "Black" Eye just took "That thing" said they were picking it up for you.... oh shucks... welll, looks like you need to wait in line behind someone elses "that thing".

7) Mines are wonderful and probably the most points effective thing ever. stack em up, save them.

8) Engineers always complain about metal or Mortar rounds... Specs always complain about ammo... Turns out, your outta points...shucks, who knew. Looks like your comms channel only picks up Command Chat only...

9) You have not and never have failed the team. They failed you for not getting "that thing" you sent them.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!


~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~
