Re: What do you think makes the perfect standard
A good standard will do their best to avoid burst firing AP unless they are 200% sure they will not hit anybody. Oh and always keep your SL in sight unless ordered otherwise.

-Clears every damn weed and wall they see.
-Doesn't take more then one AP.
-Follows orders.
-(This is more an SL job but it doesn't hurt to be helpful) Reports general status over comms a lot with more then just "HELP CONTACT ALIENS HELP AH" This gives all marines meta knowledge, and a lot more awareness, I've been in too many rounds where a single squad has been engaging forever, while a few still have no idea what the enemy is.
-Don't ghost when caught immediately, and instead report on location and keep struggling just to force a Xeno to guard you and RP.
-Please don't use burst fire or aim for the head, ever, only take 1 AP. Maybe 2 if you really know what you are doing.
-Doesn't travel off alone.

Re: What do you think makes the perfect standard
I think I might have commented on this before, but:
Discipline.
Just like in an actual military. Knowing when or when not to shoot, knowing how to follow your commanding officer's orders, knowing when not to run off screaming into the jungle in your PT shorts after a larva.
Baldies are not exceptionally bad because they powergame or suck at roleplaying. They lack the discipline and common sense they need to avoid shooting their friends in the back.
