We need to wait some more before we choose which empire to be under. Each empire will have differnt weapons and vehicles. When we get alot more information about the differnt arsonals of the 3 empires then we should hold a vote of which one would work best for us. We also need to begin thinking about the name for the Alliance. So post ideas and lets see which one gets the most attention. Ideas for Name Of Alliance: Global Tatical Armed 'N' Armored Forces (GTANAF) Strategic Alliance of Armed Friends (SAAF) Global Collection of Tactical Feinds (GCTF) Central Enforcement Agentcy of Glabal Diversity (GEAGD) -LoS-TimberWolfvehicle specilist<img src="http://65.108.58.179/image_upload/Mech3.jpg" align=left><hr>Click <a href="http://ngal.fateback.com">here</a> for wierd creatures."Don't Drink And Drive, Get High And Fly Home" said by Neckhole"To Love A Woman Is To Know Heaven And Hell Personaly" Don't Recal Who Said This<hr>

Here is what I think the 'squads' will be. I think they will just be like groups in DAoC. at least it seems that way to me. your squad can be made up of anyone online and not necessarily people in your guild/outfit. the question is should each tribes make an outfit and do allainces or should we just make one big outfit. all join it and dominate that way. In DAoC the guild got credit for things not the alliance.

Why not DTM? Most of the peeps around here ARE DTM Material, and besides, it's not like we're stuck with playing Tribes only.... <div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!

I we were to use DTM, then it would not be an Alliance but an extention of the existing DTM which I am not a member of. The Alliance is not for hire anyway. It would be better to create a new name that we can build from scratch, so we create a new identity in the game so we don't bring over old, out-dated, glory from other games. DTM is a guild dedicated to team work and so on but it has also set a reputation every where and we should not feed off that, but create a new reputation for our selfs. If you want to use DTM, have that be the name of a squad. The squads are interchangable in the game since they all fall under the same Empire, but it would be great to set are squads in a way that they don't change from mission to mission like most squads in the game will. We will have them set up to specilize in certain tasks, and when that task comes we call them out to take care of it. All squads will be able to take care of its self if needed, and memebers can be interchanged if the mission requires a mixture of squads. In that case a new temperary squad will be formed and given a code name for the mission. I still forsee a squad centered on vehicles. My current idea is that they will be the only ones with dropships. The 'Vehicle' squad would drop other squads and their vehicles off at designated drop points, either to defend or attack. The thought about having a set squad for the Dropships is so that the gunners on those ships will specilize on the Dropships defences, how to defend with them and provide cover. They can also be members of other squads, and with their ability to use vehicle mounted weapons, so they can bring more to the squad. I have imagined three dropships with 5 escort crafts moving our squads from home base and into enemy territory constantly. As one base is attacked, another team will be landing farther behind enemy lines to attack antoher base. The enemy will have to retreat to the second base to keep their movement lines clear of enemy fire. Then as the first base is being secured by ground troops coming in with heavy vehicles, the team is picked back up in the dropships and sent to a support possion to prevent enemy reinforcements from getting to the second base. One or Two squads will be actually attacking the base, the rest will surround the base to prevent anyone from getting in to reinforce their hold on the base. Then when the attack is done, let the ground troops come in and secure the area, and then hold it. Our people will return to home base to re-equip themselfs and get ready for another drop attack. The only problem I have figured out with this tactic is there will not be enough people willing to stay and defend. I think most people will at first be attacking wildly untill several thousand people get into the game and then team work will be required more often. -LoS-TimberWolfvehicle specilist<img src="http://65.108.58.179/image_upload/Mech3.jpg" align=left><hr>Click <a href="http://ngal.fateback.com">here</a> for wierd creatures."Don't Drink And Drive, Get High And Fly Home" said by Neckhole"To Love A Woman Is To Know Heaven And Hell Personaly" Don't Recal Who Said This<hr>

i like your tactical thinking TW. hard to say what all will be practical when we know what our numbers are, and when we know just what works and doesn't work in the game. keep the ideas flowing, just don't wear it out before the game even comes out:P one outfit can only hold so much ground given so many troops. depending on the empire's situation we may be able to negotiate with other outfits to see if anyone is available to hold a given base. otherwise we may have to bunker down on a base or two or three for a while. depends if we want to be the fully mobile outfit, and leave a base undefended, or wait till someone else can reinforce defenses. or if we just want to be dang sure that we hold an important area of bases...and maybe answer calls for reinforcements to areas that are within response distance/time. i get the feeling we'll know more about how this would most likely work when we know more about the game considering details are still sketchy at best. this thread is starting to get kinda long, diverse, and confusing. when it gets too much longer it's definitely either time to start a couple more threads which are more specific (like "PlanetSide Tactics", "PlanetSide Alliance Function Ideas" and whatever else there is enough to justify a new thread for), or start a new EZboard altogether. for the first while maybe we'll have to deal with the ads from the free version. at least till we know that this is going to work and be worth the money for the board besides everyone's monthly fee just for playing the game. the thing about starting a new board is that itdoes need a name. I have mixed feelings about using DTM. I like the name and concept, but i agree about it not being good to feed off the established rep and if some people feel alienated by it, that's not good. Some good ideas for names here. i've been turning it over in my head, but nothing satisfactory so far. We could always do what SoUP did and make up an acronym, then just come up with ideas that fit it. otherwise, it'd be good for it to sound cool and respectable, without haveing the ring of a bunch of 13 yr olds thinking they are cool.
