Hey all. I thought it would be really cool do have a super elite unit of 6 men chosen by High Council and Prefect of the Army. The men would be ones who have shown the most skill in battle and have the most activity. It would be the "Arc" unit but the name could be changed if you all saw fit. i have a patch in design. That would be the sign of an Arc trooper just a patch.
the unit would consist of
1) Elite pistole user
1) Elite Sniper
1) Elite "heavy weapon" user [ rockets, ewebs]
3) Elite E-11 storm troopers
I just thought it would be cool. -----------------------

Well i know were all elite and all that, but im talking mythical type good. Like the kinda good that people tell their children about. The kinda troopers that just having the other soldiers see them can raise their moral so high to make them belive the battle is won. So i know we are good, but it would just be cool to have those 6 "god like" characters. -----------------------

God-Like soldiers? Like the Mandalorians perhaps? While the idea is interesting i believe a more "realistic" view of how we do things would be better off. Perhaps for the next competition, the winner will be given the "Elite" status. That would give us our "super-soldier" kind of squad. -----------------------

I have a couple statements and questions of my own.
First off, I'm just wondering what the "Arc" means?
Second, I don't know about having "god-like" troopers. I could see the possibility of having something like the Prefect's Guard or something similar to that. We do have the Iron Horse squad which was elite, but as we have it right now (if nothing has changed) no squad is currently having the Elite title.
The idea is certainly interesting, but I don't even know if we have enough active people to take on those roles. :P

Right. The Arc doesnt have any signifigant meaning, thats why i said it would be up to the high council and the Prefect to decide what they want to name it. It wouldnt be a "squad" all the members would remain in their own squad, but certain sensitive missions would be given to this "Elite" group. And certainly it wouldnt be "GOD LIKE" i was just using that as a description to give you an image. It would kind of be similar to the Rainbow 6 squad. They are the best of the best all that, but they still work for their own squads. -----------------------

ARC stands for Advanced Recon Commandos, an elite unit of the Kaminoan clone troopers. More details about em here.
Anways, I do find the idea of an elite unit interesting, but right now we're so small that taking away active members from the normal squads to fill up an "elite" squad can be harmful to the the activity level of those normal squads oO'

Unless a few of you guys started on a regular basis.  If thats the case, you would be placed on the Recruiting Staff and be earning yourself an extra 7k a month. -----------------------

"Perhaps for the next competition, the winner will be given the "Elite" status."
I think that's a good idea. Perhaps the winning squad of the next ESC/HSC can have a honourary title like Prefect's Honor Guard or something sexier. They get to keep that title until the next ESC, where they have to defend that title or give it up if they fail. -----------------------

That actually was an idea pondered by us when planning this latest competition. Unfortunately, activity was so low overall that we couldn't honestly grant a whole squad elite status when no squad had its entire membership participate.
To be sure, certain individuals did perform very well and they have been singled out because of it.
As for an ARC status, I'm still not sure what to think of it. I'll get back to you. -----------------------

I think what you just said Fury makes a case for his idea of picking out individuals and letting them stay in their squad. The rewards being to get to do some special missions.
Although someone would have to work quite hard to give this group of people things to do and it would take up some of their time and poossibly lower activity as a whole.
Then again if you only picked the very very most active 5-6 then it would probably work 
btw i think Mandor did specify that they would stay in those squads for those of you arguing against moving people around.

Ya i understand what all of you are saying. I got the idea from the clone wars cartooon micro series. Yes they would stay in their own squad. They would just be called up for about 3 days to do a special mission whereupon on the finish of that mission they would return to normal activity with their primary squad. Im glad you all are taking interest, im trying my hardest to boost activity, so if these "elite" soldiers where created all the members on VE would strive to get that. Maybe a bonus in pay or special new weapons would be given to them. just a thought. -----------------------

Actually, that could be fun as I have a tiny list of items that need accomplished in fairly short spurts.

Ilike the idea of picking a select few from the squads and making an elite unit while also keeping these ppl in their squads. Might give an incentive for others to work to get into the squad. An idea might be to have some sort of proving ground competition every 4 months in which they have to fight to keep their spots against a field of those wanting to get in.
Just a thought...might work and it might be fun and help activity....who knows...i doubt it can hurt much. -----------------------

So as far as im reading its a go with the whole deal? well if thats the case the patch will be done either tommarow or the day after so you can tell me how you want it refined. Just a sugestion, when the people are in they get the patch and you should give it a name for the ID tag like [ARC] and when they lose their spot they have to take it out. -----------------------

Nothing is official.
Now, as far as the short spurt missions go, I think that's an interesting idea. Have a mission that hasa small, but challenging amount of objectives, and have the story done in a week. If not, the mission has failed. It'd be nice to see that happen because then the ARC unit would have an actual timeframe to work with, and a deadline to complete their mission. -----------------------
