Jagger Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) This is a small quick post I've been meaning to make about piloting. If you don't know, I am Oddball; Pilot Leader of 212th. I handle all things pilot related in the battalion. I had the idea to introduce squadrons into the pilots system so we can have a bomber squad, fighter squad, etc. However, in lore it's interesting. The squadrons were different than from what you would assume. Some squadrons specialized in all republic aircraft, while others were very specific such as Yellow squadrons who flew only V-19s. Obviously for gameplay, this wouldn't work out too well. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Squadron_(Galactic_Republic) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Squadron_(Galactic_Republic)/Legends http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yellow_Squadron_(Galactic_Republic) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Squadron_(Galactic_Republic) So we have two options I'm thinking of doing. One is to have made up squads serve different purposes. Let me propose this example to explain: 3 squads, 5 pilots each. Red Squad for Ace Fighters who specialize with dogfighting, space/air to air combat. Gold squad for Ace Bombers to well... bomb stuff. Whether that be ground targets or capital ships in space/air. Then you would have Blue squad, the Ace Transport Pilots who specialize and use LAATs. These pilots would participate in transporting elite squads and paratrooper drops. While its a bit more lore friendly and has very good roleplay opportunities, the problem is that it includes a lot of pilots to be involved, can't guarantee everyone gets their role in events (If theres no bombing, Gold squad doesn't do much), get confusing for newer people to know what squad belongs to what battalion, and can get complicated. 2. The other option is to have just one elite pilot squad in each battalion. So for example, 212th would have 'Orange Ace' squad. 501st would have 'Blue Ace'. 41st 'Green Ace'. 327th 'Yellow Ace'. GMs... 'Galactic Ace'? 'Marine Ace'? Etc. This would be easier to manage for the server. It gives those Aces a lot of freedom to do as they like to make it feel rewarding, however... you kind of lose out on roleplay. This might be the better option for the server, but it requires the mutual agreement of all other battalions and naval. So, what do you guys think? Please give your opinions, especially if you're the pilot leader such as Scottish, Styles, Mike, etc. If you are a pilot leader, I urgently would like to organize a pilot meeting including naval to discuss in-depth roleplay and event mechanics. Please contact me with schedules and let's come together to discuss. Edited September 13, 2017 by Jagger "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end."

Guest Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 More cohesive if battalion pilots stick with their battalions. It's bad enough trying to coordinate with your own battalion. Try coordinating with a hundred other children who all want to press E and super hero jump out the back of an LAAT. Link to comment

Guest Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Update my foot up your ass. I actually have an idea on how to make paratroopers unique. Unfortunately that involves removing it from every battalion who didn't use it in Lore. So in short, very few battalions would have a JT any more. But 2nd AC, Wolfpack, and as much as I hate to say 187th would all have access to a short burst Jetpack. This is just a thought. Link to comment

Restricting certain things to certain battalions is how you make those battalions havemore pull to new recruits and ultimately make the server more realistic. Im all for restricting things based on battalion,rank, and lore. We need less swiss army knife clones and that just isnt going to happen with the current weapon and equipment system.

Honestly im behind this entirely for all roles. A battalion should only have the roles that fit its lore. Then people would actually decide the battalion they want based on the skillset instead of just whatever looks cooler. Link to comment

Guest Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Aerial Recon Trooper - 2nd AC? Give you Macrobinoculars or some shit. BARC Trooper -91st/501st(?) Blaze Trooper - (I hate myself for this one) Clone Jumptrooper - (187th) this one could have a rechargeable pack that allows them to short burst jump. Clone Ordinance Specialist - (38th) You already know kids Clone Paratrooper - 2ndAC? No fall damage, shorter use jump packs than a Jumptrooper Clone Riot Trooper - (CG) Shields, sticks that stun? Yes. Clone Scuba Trooper - (YOU HEARD ME) Okay, I'm leaning on this being a donator job, BUT, don't quote me kids. Clone Tank Gunner - (38th) pretty much already a thing in the battalion Clone Trooper Pilot - Duh. Clone Cold Assault Troopers - (104th/501st only?) Clone Engineer - (38th) obv Clone Flame Trooper - Kind of makes me want to kill myself but maybe with a less OP flame thrower? Clone Trooper Grenadier - I'm not sure where I would put this class of trooper, also I would need to have the weapon made Heavy Assault Trooper - (38th) actually already in, these troopers use weapon emplacements Clone Heavy Trooper - (These troopers wore armor like Bacara) Heavy Weapons Clone Trooper - The Heavy we have now Clone Jet Trooper - These would be the 104th type of troopers, longer boost time, but longer cooldown too. Clone Marine - New type of trooper ( These are the types of clone that can survive in space, they also have a a short burst jetpack with a short cooldown. Clone Trooper Medic - I'm not explaining this one. Clone Scout Trooper - (41st) Simple enough Clone Sniper - I'm not explaining this one either. Special Operations Clone Trooper - TRIGGERED Stealth Operations Pilot - Obviously this would go into Shadow Company and the would fly stealth ships. M E M E D These are the different clone "MOS" I found on Wookiepedia. Now a lot of them sound familiar, and even might perform similar jobs, however believe it or not there is a LOT of loadout differences between them. Link to comment

Sparks I'm now officially concerned about your mental health. Some of these sound awesome, some sound similar, some are... blaze trooper? Why? Do you want the whole world to burn? There is ALOT you just threw at us. Aerial/BARC/Jumptrooper/Ordinance/paratrooper/riot trooper Tank Gunner/Cold Assault/Heavyset/jet/clone marine/scout/SOB Trooper sound cool, but the others sound out there. Scuba troopers? It's not that I don't want these, it's just that how the hell would we even manage this and make it work? fucking scuba trooper tryouts... Kms. I can't wait to see that shit show.... Lets do it all.

Kain Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I think @aStonedSparks might be a bit of an idiot.
