Simulation Mission

[edit]

Scheduled training

JD will be funding a Recon and Data gathering mission in the next few weeks as soon as we have completed the simulation and assigned roles.
  1. Simulation Mission - Completed.
  2. Bot Team Training Run
    This was a run to see if a team could survive a fight out at the Troy Bot Field using Bot mission tactics! We made it ok, except all a little poorer! With our confidence boosted we decided to take on the main army, things then went a bit pear shaped...
  • Recon Mission - scheduled for November now that the VU is in and stable.
    our best success at taking the whole team will be the weekend of the 11th. Although I will try to add a nother run before then if I we fluke a good team all logged in at the same time!
    • [edit]

    Scheduled missions

    This all begins in October and will be a regular excercise!

    • I would suggest that every one attend a few hunts to Jason Bot Field under Runners command!
      • Learn to following commands
      • Learn to stand still and close to a medic rather than panic and run when in trouble
      • Print out this map OR have it handy on another computer -- Image:Robot beacon mission layout.gif

    SIMULATION Begins

    The Gathering
    JD calls everyone to troy and around the back.
    Arrrive in civi's (no armour).
    Please ensure you have the maps available at hand and know your assigned lvl to loot!
    Runner then Creates the team and checks....
    1. Everyone has stored all unrequired weight, and is repaired and supplied!
    2. Everyone has taken 5 mins to write down all their equipement and the values of each item.
    3. He has a lit Cigar and a G&T
    mrproper takes a quick group photo!
    JD Teleports to the exact coordinates of the beacon and waits as a marker for everyone!
    Rest of the team journeys across together using the safest route so as to incur minimal decay. (TP only if everyone has one!)
    Relog when you arrive at the coordinates.
    Calling the shuttle
    Everyone armours up if it has not been done on the way.
    Last minute check and chance to get drinks, loo break!
    JD checks everyone is clear on thier assigned roles and the level they will be looting!
    Mel is assigned as Soder's Medic
    Amlin is assigned as Antonio's Medic
    Dan is assigned as Runner's Medic
    Everybody is assigned as Mrproper's Medic
    JD pulls out the beacon and everyone gets a little over excited.
    JD, "Activating Beacon Now!"
    Everybody watches the shuttle descend and extend its ramp to the ground!!!!!
    With plenty of time we all climb on board!
    Mrproper follows from the rear with camera rolling!
    At this point runner assumes command and checks we are all in before giving JD the OK to activate the Shuttle by placing the beacon in the terminal!
    Mind your fingers!
    Your HUD will dissappear at this point so that you can watch a nice animation of the take-off.
    Lvl #01
    Please wait for Mrproper to get out of the shuttle 1st so that he record our coordinated and organised team venture forth.
    Bot killers 1st in a V formation with runner at point.
    Medics right behind them in a straight line.
    JD bringing up the rear!

    Press 'O' and turn up your Gamma Settings to counter for the darkness

    Once the level is secure everyone wait by the teleporter for this levels looter to memorize the box positions. Do not teleport until Runner signal!
    JD recon's the area for box positions.
    Also Mrproper's only chance to photograph this level.
    We all teleport together on Runner's signal.
    Lvl #02
    Bot Killers advance 1st, stick to the formation and stay together!
    Once the level is secure everyone wait by the teleporter for this levels looters to memorize the box positions. Do not teleport until Runner signal!
    Dan & Amar recon the area for box positions and work out tactics.
    I would suggest Dan loots the left side of the room when on way back down, Amar takes the right and you sweep through together.
    Also Mrproper's only chance to photograph this level.
    We all teleport together on Runner's signal.
    Lvl #03
    Bot Killers advance 1st!
    Once the level is secure everyone wait by the teleporter for this levels looters to memorize the box positions. Do not teleport until Runner signal!
    Dan, Amar & Soder recon the area for box positions and work out tactics.
    I would suggest Dan & Amar take the on-route boxes and leave the ones that would slow you down to soder. Or skip the 1st boxes and leave them for Soder as he will be here after he loots #04.
    We all teleport together on Runner's signal.
    Lvl #04
    Keep to formation!
    Once the level is secure everyone wait by the teleporter for this levels looters to memorize the box positions. Do not teleport until Runner signal!
    Amlin, Soder & Mel recon the area for box positions and work out tactics.
    This is usually the MAZE. Soder will be loot the boxes along the shortest route back down to Lvl#03. Amlin and Mel will have plenty of time here to find the rest.

    Please NOTE: The lvls have a TP at each end and they are one way, you only need to right click on them. You will therefore have to run through each level to get to the next TP down.

    Mel this is the only level you have to worry about looting The Maze regardless of what Lvl# it is!
    Amlin you will be coming from looting the level above.

    Shortest route through the MAZE is to follow the left side wall, when on your way back down.

    We all teleport together on Runner's signal.
    Lvl #05
    Bot Killers advance 1st!
    This is usually the level with the thin ramps, there are 2 and we can only travel up in single file!
    JD will stay back and Sniper the top level bots as you go up the ramps. Bot killers go up for close combat!
    Once the level is secure everyone wait by the teleporter for this levels looters to memorize the box positions. Do not teleport until Runner signal!
    Runner and Amlin recon the area for box positions and work out tactics.
    Amlin should loot the boxes on-route to lvl#05, runner will have plenty of time!
    We all teleport together on Runner's signal.
    Lvl #06
    Bot Killers advance 1st!
    There is a Deep Trench here - DO NOT CROSS IT!!!
    Once the drones have been cleared...
    1. Runner will 1st recon the area on the TP side of the trench and memorize box positions before he kills the Boss.
    Mrproper will follow behind runner and provide some Medical support.
    1. Runner will then locate the boss using maximum range weapon and scope.
    2. Everyone else wait by the teleporter. JD will do a quick head count before giving Runner the signal to Attack.
    When the Boss(warrior bot) is dead everyone will get a pop-up window, this is your signal to Teleport and get to your level ASAP using the shortest routes.

    Please NOTE: Line up your direction and use the 'R' key for running indoors it provides a little extra speed! If you correct your steering remember to keep pushing 'R' to re-lock in the speed run.

    If you will see JD's Green Status bar fade, it means he has teleported and SO SHOULD HAVE YOU!!!!
    Go, Go, Go!
    You will not get a Count Down Warnings until the time has half run out!
    Looting Tips
    Boxes open painfully slowly!
    If there are two boxes close together, stand between them so that you are not required to move to the next box.
    Call out any moral boosting NICE LOOTS as the appear if you get time!
    Call out If you have cleared a Level and looted every box there!!!

    When the ship blows up please crouch down with your knees between your legs, you should revive at the outpost together.

    If successful JD should reach the shuttle and will escape to the Surface unharmed! He will then TP-chip to the team and collect the loot for a final tally. Anything of value will be sold.

    Warningbox.png You have until 'Monday 9th Oct' to read the above and clear up any questions on the TALK Page. Please sign the Survivors Section there once you are clear!
