Calling in Drop Pods

Your main task is to call down a drop pod to a nearby location which will allow marines to get techs from them. To do this, click on the Call Droppod ability in the top left of the screen. You'll be prompted to select any available techs the marines have unlocked and once selected, a red impact circle will be seen on where it will land.

Please stand clear of it as it will gib anything under it. The time till impact is dependent on the ceiling type.

Once it has landed, simply click on the drop pod to take out what you've sent down.

You can recall the drop pod manually by middle clicking again. Or if you wait long enough, it'll go up on its own.

Relaying Information

Since you have access to all communications, its recommended that you relay information directly to the CIC. With a constant update on the battlefield, they'll be able to make better informed decisions.

You'll also be able to coordinate with other support elements like CAS and Requisitons.

Abilities: Orders

Orders are a timed active ability that characters trained in leadership can activate. The duration of the ability is related to how high the character's leadership skill is, an example being that the Commanding Officer's order will last longer than a Squad leader's order. The leadership skill also determines the intensification of the ability, the higher it is, the more intense the effects of the order are on surrounding players. Note that these abilities do not stack and that the abilities cover your visual view range and no further.

Orders:	Description:
Move!	Increased mobility and chance to dodge projectiles.
Hold!	Increased resistance to pain and combat wounds.
Focus!	Increased gun accuracy and effective range.
