Experience:
Naval: PVT - LTJG
I joined Naval about a year ago when Freck was Admiral Yularen, at the beginning, I was just bored of my clone and wanted to do some RP, but after awhile I started maining my Naval. I joined Flight Ops and made my way up to Flight Ops Manager. I worked pretty hard for naval and made my way up to LTJG. When my exams started, I decided to quit the server for a while as it took a lot of time and I wanted to focus on my exams.
Jedi Order: Padawan - Master and TGML
I joined the sentinel branch as I really wanted to be a Temple Guard, and I always failed the TG trials (during rhino times). After about 10 failures I finally passed TG trials. I tried to help with as many trials as I could so I could later become a Temple Guard Manager. When I was TGM, Metro became Cin Drallig, I was pretty sceptic because I didn’t know Metro and we (the TGM’s) were doing pretty good on our own, but after a week or so my opinion changed and I think Metro helped TG by completely redoing the trials and by remaking a bunch of rules. Metro wasn’t Cin for that long, but I think he was amazing during that time and helped TG not die. This showed me that not only the current leads are the ones who should be making the changes, this showed me the importance of listening to everyone in your battalion/branch, even if you don’t know them. When Metro resigned, his final act was making me Temple Guard manager lead and so I became the acting temple guard lead for about 1-2 months. I’d say that those months were very good for TG, all manager spots were filled, there was always TG and sometimes we got to 8 TG on at the same time. After my temporary perma ban (misunderstanding), I was removed from TGML and was replaced (which I understand, TG needed an active TGML)
91st: 2ndLT - COL/Lightning Squad Lead Razor
The 91st was the battalion where I got most of my officer experience, I joined as a 2ndLT and to be honest, had very little experience as an officer. I started with the ARC job, as I was ARC trained and to be honest, who doesn’t want a minigun. I later (a lot of time later) joined Lightning Squad when Andrews was Mace, I was promoted to Stak (Lightning Squad XO) because Lightning Squad was pretty inactive. I later became Razor (and so Lightning Squad lead) and I tried to completely redo how Lightning Squad worked. I made a completely new tryout doc, I made a new rule doc (and changed a lot of rules and I started working on a server suggestion to buff Lightning Squad. I was entering another exams period and I decided not to take an LOA as Lightning Squad really needed active leadership and so I resigned, I had and still have complete faith in the current Lightning Squad leadership.
Why should you become Base Commander?:
I feel like Base Ops has been going in a wrong directing for a while now, I mean when was the last time a Base Ops commander/Admiral resigned and was not removed? Making a commander report should be something rare, not the way that every Admiral/BO Commander should resign. I think Freck was one of the best admirals the server ever had, and all my Naval experience comes from him. When I tried out for Base Ops when Boutineer was Yularen, I was amazed by how much the standards lowered to join BO. I remember Naval tryouts being a one strike tryout and people were still trying very hard to get in. When Base Ops was about to be removed, they were almost literally giving away the whitelist, which is stupid, I don’t want 20 inactive minges afking on the job. I prefer having 5 active members, who follow the rules and trust in their command. I think Base Ops needs an older face, from the time when being a naval was an achievement, something you were proud to be.
I think the most important things for a Commander are, activity, fairness and the ability to listen to others (Including people outside of BO).
Do you understand the purpose of BO on the server?:
Yes, I think the most important job for BO is the RP and Gate Controls. BO plays an important part on the server, and I think that the BO decisions shouldn’t be up to BO command alone, but also to all BO and to all battalions. I think BO has been acting alone the last couple of months, and I think this is part of the reason why not many people liked BO at the end. BO should be active and available to do RP (and gate controls). Med RP has been going downhill for a while now and Engineering has been decent but rare, these things should be fixed by Base Ops, there have been posts on the forums saying that the RP is dying, and I know Base Ops should be the one to fix it.
Availability: (All hours are in CET)
I am always available on discord unless I am sleeping. My next exams are in about 4 months, so I don’t have to worry about school for a while. Wednesdays I can get on from 1PM until 11AM. On the weekends I can get on from 8 in the morning until 11 AM. All other days I can get on from 5PM until 11AM. (I can get on after 11AM for meetings and such, butI will mostly log off after 11)
Give a brief overview of your achievements on the server:
Naval: LTJG and Flight Ops Manager
Jedi Order: Master and TGML
91st: COL and Razor (LS Lead)
Do you have a microphone?:
Yes
Where do you want the Base Ops to be at the end of your term?:
Firstly I want people to like Base Ops, I don’t want people to look at them as a boring job that is just there for trainings. I want to have an active officer corps that helps the enlisted and NCO’s to work their way up. I want Base Ops to RP and make Med RP and Engineering RP great again.
How do you plan to change the Base Ops under your command?:
I want to redo most of Base Ops, I want an officer corps that understands and want to follow my vision for Base Ops. I want trust between BO Command and the rest of CO (and with the public). Like I said earlier I want to go back to the days when 20 of us walked in a DB and we had to stand in front of the stand because we couldn’t fit all of us on our stand. All ATC and Flying related stuff should be discussed with the 104th first.
Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: I do.
Do you understand that your position has a two month term limit and you must reapply after two months to maintain your Base Commander rank?: I do.
If you have any questions, you can put them here, poke me on ts or pm me on discord.
