What worries me is that as an aeronautical engineer, I'd trust you to spend more time designing things than coming up with stupid acronyms to present them. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><center><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><td><img border="0" src="http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/t2red.g ... ><td><font size=5>RedSirus<a href=mailto:redsirus@dragontalonmercs.com>@</a></font><br><br><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> > <a href=http://server2.ezboard.com/bdragontalon ... ><br><font size=2><a href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/bdtmonlinecommunity>DTM Community</a> > <a href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/fdtmonlinecomm ... s>RedSirus' Reviews</a></font><br><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Brainwashed Fishmonger</a> > <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/bxmenclan>Forum ... </p><i></i>

Tactical Armed Forces (TAF)<br>Terror Riden Army of Many Cultures (TRAMC)<br>Large Number of Armed Lunitics with Bad Aim (LNALBA)<br>Unused Skill With No Hope Of Dieing (USWNOD)<br><br>I can never run out of tactical plans. Most of the plans I have thought of up to now are just modified plans from what I had in mind for T1 and T2. When I learn more about the vehicles and the weapons, then I can start making new tactical plans. I am good at tactics, but for the most part no one wants a plan set in stone from beggining to the end but rather a starting plan and then make their own choices out there in the field.<br><br>When I get this game, I plan on going deep into enemy held lands to scout and get money. I will then save up money to buy a air vehicle, probably the mosquito. I plan on going solo for a couple of weeks before I dedicate myself to be in a Squad. I do this for two reasons, to get to know the game and land better, and to earn money faster and skills. Once I get the Mosquito, I will prabably run scout and repair along the borders. At that time it would be good to start working in small groups along the lines, and then start running missions into enemy lands to keep them from building up troops in any one spot. I would not mind trying to either walk to fly from our home base to the enemys home base, and stay alive. <p><b><u>-LoS-TimberWolf</u></b><sub>vehicle specilist</sub><p><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.<p><p>"Don't Drink And Drive, Get High And Fly Home" said by Neckhole<p>"To Love A Woman Is To Know Heaven And Hell Personaly" Don't Recal Who Said This<p><hr></p><i></i>

i like most of your names TW. my only gripes are that i think the acronym should be memorable, that the word friends or alliance or something like that should be in there, and that it's <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> not</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> vulgar.<br><br>i modified one of yours to say:<br>Alliance of Many Armed Lunatics w/ Bad Aim (AMALBA)<br>what i don't like about it is that maybe the acronym is a little too long/not memorable and it's got so manay A's they'll think we are canadian. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, the Acronym shouls be no more than 3 or 4 characters, really. Maybe 5, if it's some kind of pnemonic device or something, so you can remember that you got your ass kicked by [insert Acronym here]. <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

Here is some more info on Planetside:<br><br>www.PlanetsideCenter.com<br><br><blockquote>No Outfit :<br>Players will have the freedom to go on their own and play as a "lone wolf". This style of play is great for infiltration, sniping and hacking missions. While this sounds very exciting to some, others will prefer to stick with teammates and go for missions of a greater scale.<br><br>Temporary Outfit :<br>Empires will create missions that are tailored towards groups of soldiers. These types are missions require the creation of a temporary outfit, with members that will work together for the duration of time it takes to fulfill the mission's aim. The benefits of this type of outfit are that they can be created on the spot, with players who are available there and then. An ideal way of finding future teammates, temporary outfits are ideal for those players who are looking to work with others, without tying themselves to a registered, fixed outfit.<br><br>Registered Outfit :<br>The primary advantage of a registered outfit is organization. Players will be able to define an outfit leader and he will have a variety of commands available to him, such as moderating the outfit (warnings, kicking players, etc) and selecting the missions for his crew. Leaders will be crucial to an empire's success. For even more strategy, leaders could team up and unleash joint strikes or as one party battles the enemy, the other can infiltrate with more ease. This is definately for the more serious type of player.</blockquote><br><br>The Lightning One Man Tank is starting to interest me more then the Mosquito.<br><br>Here are some tactical ideas:<br><br>When we get into the game, and get everything organized, how about we choose a secter of a continent to control. We should aim to control (defend) 2-4 bases depending on our numbers. We should also try to expand our Alliance to people that don't play at the same time as we do. Since this game runs 24/7, the enemy could make a move wail we are at work or asleep, so it would be smart to have odd hour teams playing. From our bases, we will hold the area, and assist our Empire were needed. If the continent is conqured by our Empire then we move to another continent and start over with new bases. If we feel strong enough, we could go into the middle of an enemy continent and take come of their bases as ours. This way we can get more kills and help support any attacks our Empire wants to do on the continent. With the idea of having our own land of a continent, we will have a better basis for operations. From our land we can run recon over a set area just outside our radar range, we can do drop runs easyer from the central area for our people.<br><br>The Gateways are the key to troop movements between the continents. We may want to look into setting up a service on the main continent that we work on for shuttling troops around, unless one appears when you conqure an area. We could make some money on this too, by charging a small fee for a lift from home base to a Gateway or to a battle zone (charge more for vehicles). This will help keep our people equipted with the best gear, and help maintian our vehicle numbers. If some people get battle wary, but don't want to stop playing, they could do this as a service. Think of it as setting up a business. We could also run supply runs to front line troops as well.<br><br>Enemy weapons may be very usefull. Some of the enemy weapons will be more powerful then our own so it would be a good idea to keep some of the weapons. I hope they give each person a 'stock pile' that they can keep back home. It maybe possible to use the enemy weapons to help make areas unstable. For example, if we find a few soldiers that can't stop squabling, then we can help agrivate them untill they start fighting themselfs. With the disruption going on, we can move in and take over the area with fewer casualtys. This tactic will probably be hard to do and most likely be outlawed in one way or another. <p><b><u>-LoS-TimberWolf</u></b><sub>vehicle specilist</sub><p><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.<p><p>"Don't Drink And Drive, Get High And Fly Home" said by Neckhole<p>"To Love A Woman Is To Know Heaven And Hell Personaly" Don't Recal Who Said This<p><hr></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub3.ezboard.com/ulostimberwolf. ... berWolf</A> at: 8/12/02 2:39:03 pm<br></i>

SUre... Unless there are any others. Give it a day or so before we start any kind of poll, also, we need to get with the other peeps who want to do this, so they can be a part of the decision process.<br><br>May be we need an admin to add another forum to the X-Boards, for Planetside stuff? Keep it out of the Other Games forum? <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

considering polls aren't enabled in this forum yeah... or just.....once we decide on a name it's time to start it's own board? i guess that can wait a little while yet considering it needs more moolah to keep it ad free. it would be great if we could have another forum for planetside stuff. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub3.ezboard.com/usirdiesal0t.sh ... age=EN>Sir Diesal0t</A>&nbsp; <IMG SRC="http://www.ezboard.com/ezgfx/gicons/misc_2.gif" BORDER=0> at: 8/12/02 5:18:23 pm<br></i>
