Specialists and how can we use them?

[Hovis]

Time was The Legion was noted for having a bunch of ace pilots, tank crews, snipers and warpgile hammern00bs. Now whilst we're horribly successful as airborne/armoured shock troops I wonder if there are any players who feel that this style of play is not playing to their strengths? Specifically I'm thinking of pilots, cloakers, snipers, combat engineers and other folks who may be shit hot at their favourite skill but don't really get the chance to operate freely within the usual platoon squad.

Reason for asking is I'm pondering an alternative squad, a sort of League of Gentlemen (in the sense of the assorted specialist super criminals with different but complementary skills, not weird yorkshire villagers). A squad for anybody and everybody with no rules regarding certs, no rigid discipline per se, simply a unit of guys doing whatever they do best working towards shared goals of sabotage, carnage and defence.

I specialise in being the only guy remembering to hack the twr when mozziedropping on nme twrs. I always seem to drop with all the killwhores and they seem to forget? wonder why.... ;)

because you are there and doing it for them :P

Anyway, I dare to say my skills as a cloaker are not used a lot when I am running with the legion :P

However, I see this as no problem, there are always excuses to run off and strap on the tight suit ;)

As I see it, the legion always seem to utlilize (sp) strengths of its members, except maybe snipers.. heh.

But even so, I do support this idea, as an attatchment to the rest of the legion, but not as a group of guys running off to do something else because it does not fit their "idea". The shock troops are what people joined RL for, and I see no reason why it should not stay that way :)

I want to be part of the tank crew as long as Mimarz is gunning :D

We could just use whisper in TS and the kill/death ratio could end up in 100/0 before we die :cool:

But that depends on the situation and how prepared the nme is :p
