Err Icaro are you aware that the whole Hurston space (lagrange point expluded that we don't care for this event), is on monitored space??
This could end with the at least half of the party in jail at the end...

Yeap, but Levski doesn't has any caves, at least not that I'm aware of

Does it matter if the armor is light, medium, heavy?

Don't think it matters. I think as long as you have a set of Black/Yellow and Black (for OpFor) you're good to go.

 

[jessehiraya]

Okay cool. Its just that I already bought a full set of gold heavy armor and then I saw this post and I'm like aw man I don't want to have two sets of heavy armor. I don't have any medium armor sets yet so maybe I'll look into that so I can see what its like with all the different pieces.

If you wanna go cheap, just get sets of light armor. Doesn't matter what kind of armor it is....TESTies are bad shots anyway. We're basically Star Wars Stormtroopers!

 

[Cugino83]

Does it matter if the armor is light, medium, heavy?

Yes It does actually...
Light armour are not suited for combat oriented enviroment, thery are good if you are out there exploring and you need something that make you feel a bit more protect then the standard flight suite, but on the stopping someone to but an hole in your squishy body that not theyr job, it also have few hardpoint for spare mag and no granade capacity.

Heavy armor are a good way to rpotect yourself and they can carry the best supply of spear mag and granade (don't use then the trow mechanics is bugged!!!), but they are also combersome, make you less agile and tire you faster.

Medium armor should be the standard for combat operation: a good compromise on protection, carry capacity for mag and granades and mobility.

That say and taking the light armor out of the game the difference in protection in an actual combat enviroment beteween a medium and a heavy armor is neglettable: with a standard P4-AR rifle it take just 2-3 shot more to kill a person in heavy armor compared to a medium one so if the idea of wearing a heavy armor to being an untoppable killing machine is what you think.... sorry think again.

Well you underestimate a lot of testies...
As there are damn good pilot in TEST therea are also some damn good shoooter... so don't use a light armor during TSMC operations.

Lies! You emptied out 3 magazines on me that one time and I only died to a 30k!

Really, just 3??? I need to get better...

Good point.

Beginning with Alpha 3.9, friendly fire within the party doesn't result in crimestat. However this would have be verified first /I can do it with any fellow Testie/, and obviously keeping both aggressor and defender teams in the single party would result in keeping all player markers visible to everyone, making entire exercise the shooting range competition.

 

[Lorddarthvik]

Well then, why not run a combined arms op, where another group of testies take out the 4 sats so it isn't monitored space?

I think you just need to take down the closer one to the planet/moon you are on, but yes that could be a solution especially becouse that imply only a minor feed and not jail

I wish i could attend, but i'm in vacation for the next 2 weeks, and i dont have my gaming rig with me :)

In preparation for the TSMC Training this weekend: if you want a good read for the inspiration of the TSMC organizational structure read through the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) section of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps

The TEST Star Marine Corps (TSMC) will follow the basics of this organization for our missions. Obviously we will adapt to our assets in the PU (dropships, bomber support, deployment from Javelins/Idris-P/etc.). Also the USMC missions are much larger so our structure will be scaled down.

The primary takeaway should be that the command is put in place on a per mission basis, intended to be flexible with guidelines provided in documentation. The smallest element of command is the fire team which is preferably 4 TSMC with one of those being the fire team leader (FTL). Three fire teams make a squad, with one of the FTLs being the Squad Leader. The entire mission should have one Commanding Officer (CO) and aside from the fire teams mentioned above there may be "air" support and medical directly commanded by the CO or embedded with the squad.

Let me reinforce that this is all a guideline and everything should be adapted by the Commanding Officer to the mission and available resources.

I'm hoping to be there this weekend, but if not I hope you all enjoy the time and learn a thing or two about working as a group. We are back looking at running weekly TSMC events and this will be kicking off that effort.


Fly safe out there,

Wrong answer @Cugino83 let me correct you:
Yes, it does.
If you are on the other team, dress brightly and good visible, don't move too much, ignore Cuginos post.
If you are on my team, read Cuginos comment very closely, some good advise!!!

This is all very complicated. I am a simple man, tell me who to shoot and I will shoot them. Tell me what to shoot and I will shoot it. Tell me to be quiet and I will be quiet.

 

[Palmtree219]

I'm looking to attend, but it depends on if I manage to get enough credits for all the gear first. SC has been giving me a particularly hard time the past few days unfortunately. In terms of weapons, is there a preference for us to use?
