Blades Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 Every fleet needs good officers. ORION FLEET wants good commanders. So far, you've suggested you are most interested in either Orion or Wraith. Both good choices, I assure you. However, there are other fleets out there. You still need to decide if you prefer brutality to subtlty. Both of the favorites delve into eachothers areas of expertese a wee bit. Orion has it's own Special Ops branch (Think Corsairs in Wraith) and Wraith has it's own big guns (So far as I understand it, the Hammerheads are kinda brutal - correct me if Im wrong Tac) but the same could be said for each of the fleets. End of the day, if you join Orion, you're going to be more restricted than the other fleets. This isnt a warning or anything, it's a fact as to how I run things around here. Once you sign up for membership, you may or may not be assigned to the Battle Group you prefer with the assignment you want. The TBG, for instance, is about filled to capacity. Most new recruits will start to fill out the DeTBG or DBG over the next few weeks/months. So, once again I suggest you thoroughly look into each of the fleets and the various Battle Groups/Squads within them.A post or two back you mentioned you couldnt see an awful lot on the Orion Website, content wise. Heres what you do :-While it's still WIP (Seein a lot of that abreviation these days ) you can access a fair portion of the ITACS section once you get into it. Simply look at the Shadow Company link, then from that look at any of the preceding links to see whats what. Dont forget to back track in your browser each time or you'll end up loading the main frame again.I know, it's still a bit messy, but time is somthing I dont have an awful lot of at the moment so updates are slow until we get a firm BCM release date. Once that comes, its all steam ahead and what remains to be done will be completed and uploaded quick sharpish.Anyway, Im rambling again.------------------ Fleet Cmdr.

Guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 The Hammerheads are our equivalent of the Marines. Its grunts on the ground (or space) with support from air (or space) units. Its main mission is Assault. (Hammerhead Description found in http://www.3000ad.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/000009.html With the advent of EVA in the coming games the HH's have included EVA in their operations."Ah, and yes, I would like to be influenced. Go for it! I like to feel needed... haw haw haw!"Hmm... ok. S.I.N. operatives have kidnapped your stock broker (and has cracked under interrogation, we now hold your bank account), HellHound ships are cloaked and poised to blow your ship to kingdom come, Hammerhead soldiers have your house on Mars surrounded and your summer retreat chalet has been nuked (how's that for a suntan?), Corsair vessels have dropped evidence on Gammulan ships that it was in fact YOU who raided their merchant vessels, Marauder & Fighter Command units are shadowing all your friends across the quadrants and that red dot on your forehead is NOT a pimple, please note my S.O.G. friend across the street with that BFG.Oh and yes, I have your beer stash and porn collection.Sign here and here and here.

Epsilon 5 Posted February 7, 2001 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 Whaaa! Where's my experimental personnal shield and why did I sent first officer Kendrick in patrol in Alpha centauri...Blades, I have the solution to your website problem: it's about links. If your go normally on the ITACS section and click on Tsunami battlegroup, it brings you to the main screen (and I have that confirmation in my statusbar of Netscape), but if you manually type... http://www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk/tbg.htm ...it brings you to the right place, same for DBG, but I can't figure out what it could be for the deterrence battle group.Ah, yes, it's detbg.htm Cool! I like that group!I like Tac's way of explaining battle groups tasks. Very interesting...------------------ Commander Epsilon 5 UCV-StalkerIV Searching for its fleet"Hmmm... what's that?

Guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 What abbreviations? The ones for the wings in my fleet are explained in the Wraith Site under the CHARTER link on the top frame. BFG= Big F* Gun You dont have to make a decision now, the game still has a little bit more time before it goes live.

Epsilon 5 Posted February 8, 2001 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Laval is a bridge away from montreal.Yeah, I plan on making my last decision nearly when BCM goes on the shelves.

Epsilon 5 Posted February 12, 2001 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Blades, I think you need people for the Deterrence battle group, heh? For now it's my 1rst choice, Tsunami is second.ERach time I think of Blades, I think about the guy in the movie by the same name (Blade)... Still, he looks pretty cool...

Blades Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Yeah, the Snipester is pretty cool, but he aint no me. I've been flying under the handle of Blades for the best part of 12 years now, so it's a name thats kinds stuck with me. Based upon being sharp and lethal - but you'll get to know all about that in good time.For now, you'd best get on with that fleet joining business. If ORION is where you wanna be, then hop to it soldier. We got work for you.------------------ Fleet Cmdr.

aramike Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 quote:Based upon being sharp and lethal - but you'll get to know all about that in good time.[RP] Yeah, I heard about that "lethality" of yours. Too bad that kitten couldn't fight back. And sharpness? Your about as sharp as that overused razor you shave your legs with. The real sad news here is that Orion Fleet is a great representation of its commander. Just look at Savage (Blades). He sits back, hits on women (getting turned down even when he ORDERS that girl to buy him a drink), and boasts of how, for us to get to HIM, we'd have to get through his fleet first.Yes, join Orion Fleet, kid. I mean, everyone has to start SOMEWHERE. Just watch out for your FC - he may use your ship to shield his ass.

I'll apply this evening for the Orion fleet as a commander with Deterrence being my favorite battle group. Now, school awaits... (ah! unfinished homeworks all over the room! )I'll also try to digitalize one picture so the other guy (I forgot his name, I'll have to search for the tread) could give me the commander's uniform.------------------ Commander Epsilon 5 UCV-StalkerIV Searching for its fleet"Hmmm... what's that?
