Your giving me the flechette launcher? That'd be funny. Kal isnt exactly the heavy-weapons build of guy :P

I'm sorry I missed the meeting - I was wrong about being able to get on - It's 1:35 and I'm connected over my main phone line in my room right now (which I'm not supposed to be doing). So I could get on post this.

I'm going to post some information with regards to weapons/tactics soon.

We're not including scout because he hasn't shown any activity since his post about a month ago on the story, if not more. I'm having him moved to retired status permanently. I'm not going to tolerate moving him in and out of reserves each time then end up having to move him back after a month or two. If he really wants to be active, then he'll have to do more than just have himself put on the roster. I know he's been on IRC, but if you every try to talk to him, you'll notice that he's not really there. Thus I'm not counting that as activity. In fact, i might even delete his post on the story if it's going to mess up the storyline.

alright. i'll try to see what i can do, but chances are since i have a math test on thursday, i won't be able to produce much.

Edit: Second thought, I don't want you to wait for me. You guys should have a general idea to what we're doing. If not, let me know and i'll post the plan.

Flight 2 Reports are due on Fridays before the end of the meeting.  If you are not attending the meeting, get it in before it then.  I am still waiting for Krius' report to make it to my computer, but if Cy doesn't get his in until Saterday this time I will not blame him. 

Nice to see that Krius has returned, just in time for Chapter 9.  Though we may not be seeing a whole ton of activity from him since he is kind of on probation with his parents right now.  Though I do expect to see some activity.

It is nice to see that I am no longer a flight of one.

For two fricking games I thought the Precursors were powerful beings of light, then in Wizard of Oz fashion they all look like Daxter!!! Oh well, at least he got his pants and the girl.

Ah yes, the good old days...

By the way, I'm backish. I got sick twice in a row (different things). I swear, something supernatural hates me...

GROUND COMBAT FOR DUMMIES
part one


Weapons


A280 AP blaster rifle - The A280 is held with one hand below the barrel to the front of the weapon, resting it against your shoulder (not on, but against) for increased stability.

The A280 fires slower then most blaster rifles, but more accurately and with a greater punch. It is efficient at piercing armor (hence, the Armour Piercing), and is affective at medium and semi-long ranges due to it's 2x autozoom scope (no need to adjust it to get a clear target).


The Espo Riot Rifle - This weapon has about three times the ammunition count of the standard rifle. It's shots are weaker, more rapidly firing. Similar to the concept of an SMG (Submachine Gun).


The Flechette Launcher - Fires a set of canisters which explode and release flechettes - tearing apart the enemy. Is heavy, has a powerful recoil, and must be wielding with two hands in order to fire accurately.


Whisper Subsonic Sniper Rifle - This sniper rifle must be deployed with it's bipod on a steady surface in order to get a stable shot - shooting without it is difficult for a marksman, and near impossible for a navy pilot. It fires metal "slugs" (or bullets, as we know them) accelerated at a subsonic speed, meaning it reaches it's target much faster then a blaster bolt would.


Some notes on blasters


Blaster weapons have two components that must be reloaded. Generally, a blaster pack will last 100 shots (see the weapon for a percise number). This provides the energy for the weapon.

The second component is the gas chamber - This must be replaced every five packs or so. Without this supply, the blaster cannot form the bolts it fires from the energy.

As a detail for writing, generally when a large amount of blaster shots are fired in an area, the stench of Ozone fills the air - this can be noted in your story posts.


Some notes on writing combat


Ground combat and space combat are fairly different. For starters, you cant fly (Well, obviously). This means that the height dimension isn't applied as much to combat (unless you find different levels of elevation in the ground).

Your physical abilities are very dominant in this style of combat - the speed of your movement and your reaction times could easily mean the difference between life and death.


The Fire Team

A squad is devided into fire teams. Fire teams are usually three to five members each, and are each lead by the appointed "Fire team   
leader" by the Commanding Officer.

Fire teams are given names - they can be named by colour (such as red team and blue team), number (team one and team two), or another designation of your choice. This helps make it easier to organize the teams in combat.


Some Basic Commands


Form Up - This command is issued when the leader of the team or squad wants the troopers (or pilots, in this case) to come to his position.  A common gesture for this is a raised hand which is then balled into a fist.


Close In - This command is used when the leader of the team wants his troopers to close in on his position a bit, in case they are starting to spread out too much.


Spread Out - Pretty much the opposite.


Fall back - Basically a retreat order


Hit this position/target - By marking a position with the trooper's in-armor software (which we lack), or pointing, the leader tells a team (or teams) to hit a specific position or target.


Supressing/Covering Fire - This order tells the team (or teams) to fire in a manner which would prevent the enemy from returning fire, or at least giving them less time to aim, due to fear of being shot, rather then trying to snipe specific targets.


Supress and Flank - Building on the previous tactic, one team will pin down the enemy with supressing fire, while the other team moves around a position in which they have a clear line of fire on the pinned enemy, at which point they execute them.


Frag/Flash/Smoke/EMP, etc.,  Out - Not really a command, this is used to warn allies that you are throwing a grenade. (Ex - "Frag Out!" would warn allies that you are throwing a fragmentation grenade.


Anyways, those are just some things I thought the squad should know. I'll expand on this another time.

I guess RL was snatching me away. and i didn't get the drift. But here's the reason why i haven't posted, if you didn't get my drift... We're not going to have a mission briefing. We're just going to go out and have some fun. As i told Than earlier, for most part of the story now, it's always me moving the story along, then you guys following my lead. That's not what we're here to achieve. I want you all to be able to lead your own character(s), not just me. The next post should put us already in the forest. From there on till the end of the story, just work together and put together a story, lead it where ever you like. As long as we reach the goal of getting out alive and well. We have up until the start of Chp 9 to do this. Enjoy.
