Field Commander

Post by jaggaaff » 03 Oct 2016, 00:31

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Basically a glorified XO/CO on the ground (Just like what the PO is a glorified MP on the shuttle)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Allows marines to be able to have an overall command figure WITH them. This allows the field commander to better understand the situation and helps marines out to coordinate attacks or defenses.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Add a command role of Field Commander which is dedicated to being on the field, Commanding. Allows marines to be better coordinated. FCO gets a horse to ride on, because it's the 1700's and muskets are still a thing(A joke obviously)

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Add a command role of Field Commander


P.S. This might be denied because, again. it's a glorified XO/CO role. But so is the PO role.

I can confirm that this would improve marine coordination by so much.

This is what XO and CO can do when there are two of them anyway.

+1 to this. I think a over all commander is needed for the ground and will be better for the co and xo so they can get straight information. Also stops a co or xo being on the ground and either getting killed or the people on the bridge going ssd leaving no command.
