Security Fighter Squadron & Ground Marines - Yellow Jackets

[HID45]

I actually just upgraded my Cutlass Black to Red, so I'm going full space doctor. I'll be right there (or slightly behind you in relative safety) with a gun in one hand and a med-kit in the other!

Reminder: If the guy next to you falls, drag him back to me so I don't get my head blown off while reattaching his.

Reminder 2: Your generous organ donation can save lives!

Cool, another medic. That makes total of 2 of us now. I don't actually have a Red yet, as it's not even flyable in AC and even if it was, it would be total rubbish in it. But I will get one before PU launch, or if CIG launches some kind of module that makes it useful somehow.

I think Red would make epic boarding craft. Just dock it on to ship to be boarded, then release marines, who then; fight -> get wounded -> get dragged to Red to be healed -> repeat. Needs decent escorts, though.

What shall we call the medics sub-squardron? MEND? Medical Emergency Negation Detachment. Or HASSLE? Heal And Save Soldiers Leveled by Enemy.

So unfortunately i messed up the change of unit form. I didn't put down a spot for your forum name so for the two of you that did fill it out I have no idea who you are. But it's fixed now so if you would so kindly refill it I can change where your sitting unit wise.

Reading through old posts and found Seung had the idea of naming the Black ops pilot squad, "Error 404 - Squad not found." Thoughts?

 

[HID45]

Just "404 Squad(ron)"

Inspired by that, the medic squadron could be called "Ctrl-Z". Then again "Bring in the HASSLE, ASAP!!" would sound lot better when yelled in a panic to mumble than "Bring in the Ctrl-Z".

I do like 404 Squad. With the motto as "Squad Not Found." Not really sure about the Medical unit though. I'll leave that up to you guys haha.

Love this. I'm a big fan of MEND or MEDI (Medical Emergency Detection and Intervention), but either way we will definitely have to have a sub-group because medic tactics will have to be a bit different. We'll have to see what the Red ends up being like down the road because it will probably only ever be good at being near by and swooping in to get injured grunts after. The module that will make it useful is the AutoDoc medical facility that it can equip, but it has almost nothing in the way of firepower.

Great to have another medic to play with though! Also, you can fly on my Red since it's multi-crew (4 crew).

Yeah our medical group will have it's own leader. as will most units. Different styles of play such as Heavy units will need different tactics than basic infantry, so it would be more productive to have leaders dedicated to that specific group. Most of that however should wait till beta where we can see how everything actually work. I myself plan on being a part of every group including the medics. We also need ground medics, ships are useful but you need to patch people up before they can extract to said ship.

I'm going to add medical (ground) to the form for joining. Cause no matter what happens, medics will be one of the most important units to have with fps players. Granted people will most likely want to sample this aspect of the game before agreeing to actively participate it.

Oh don't get me wrong, I definitely want to be right there with the squad as a combat medic as well. The FPS portion of the game is actually what has me most interested right now.

I agree. I see it becoming quite a big thing very quickly. Yeah everyone will want to be in a fighter, but you can't take a big ship for the org with just fighters. not only that but it'll become a very rewarding part of the game as people see those bigger ships are a target for other groups to take.

I filled in the form to add my timezone, which is CET. You put in ECT in stead of CET. And ECT is actually Ecuador Time :P

 

[Martimn]

Yeah, awesome!!

Whatever my Aurora MR can do. Let´s see...:oops:

I could... hum,

Gunship: 1 layed on the bed and two in the hall? or just...

Right, infantry eh?

That and 6 guys hanging off the outside of the ship with guns and beers!

Welcome to our merry band of deadly misfits!

Added the Rock Raider Division to the squadron links. If you have suggestions visit our Artwork & Suggestions thread and let us know!

In light of my recent compilation of a list of squads by category, I think the Yellow Jackets should focus primarily on the breadth of combat. Here are the combat categories I think the Yellow Jackets should prioritize:

Heavy Ships (Multicrew, such as Constellations and Freelancers)
Fighters
Marine Combat

That's about it. One of my goals right now is to make sure we don't get any redundant squads in TEST. Redundancy leads to drama, and drama leads to shitstorms, and shitstorms lead to dickbaggery...

Alright, So I went and retyped the main post to clear somethings up for the newer members. Any questions feel free to ask here.

 

[Trollmann]

Just handed in my App. Do we have an unofficial steam group?

Edit: Also the name is quite long, is there a special meaning to it?

First off, Welcome to the Jackets! Currently we do not have a steam group but will have one in the future. As for the name, you mean Yellow Jackets?

1. Amazing
2. Yep

Well Yellow Jackets are a like a bee. Except they don't contribute to the environment whatsoever, and will attack anything for no reason.
