Hey guys. So something I have been working on lately is increasing weapons for security and getting us some solid defenses for pirates, imperials, or whatever.
Let me know which of these (you can choose more than one or even all of them) you would like to see in the armory for Security NPCs to use and for yourself to use while on base on Eriadu.
I'm going to say yay to the Sniper Rifle; it's decent in terms what we need. No to the Rocket Launcher; voice commanded heavy weapons? What happens if someone gets close enough to order it around? Too risky. Rifle, not so much.
Though I will suggest you these as another options.
A: The Shocki. Essentially an M14 from what I hear, it can be used as a medium ranged rifle, or modified to be a sharpshooter's rifle. If this goes out though, then the sniper rifle would be made redundant, because this thing has more than enough range for what's needed. Urban combat doesn't usually see long range firefights, so it's also better considering that it's three burst system gives it a better fire rate for close-ish range. Though it's still a battle rifle.
B. XM2091. Good range, and is practically built for urban combat. No reason to not get it as well. It's easy to maintain, compact and is essentially a goddamn AK from the read up.
C. Peacemakers. Or you can ignore everything and grab this. All yer needs in one.
D. XM1020. Yer gonna need pistols at the very least, and in a short moments notice , a shotty. And you gonna need shotties for those tight corridors and turnings.
E. And as another option for the rocket launcher, this is my answer. Can be used effectively in a squad as infantry killer or tank buster.
I'll come up with an armour profile for the security guys; they need some as well, can't be running around with just shirts.
ok now that I am not duty I can get proper internet connection for my lap top. Here is what I see.
each droid factory as 75 guards broken down as such.
3 25 man watches that are dived in to
2 10 man security teams: with one team leader, one team 2IC and 8 team members
1 5 man watch HQ: Watch commander, watch 2IC, watch SGT, Droid control officer and Medic.
all armed with blaster pistol, ion pistol, 2 ion grenades, stun baton
wear standard body armour, have a comilink, blue force tracker, torch, 2 lumi sticks and a med kit
Ok to expand some more. The central office will have the same 75 man set up, in addition there will be a 36 man QRF team that work a 1 in 3 duty cycle. Thus you have three 12 man groups. These Groups will b used for
Hostage rescue
Bomb disposal
Direct Action
VIP Protection
the team will be a 10 man SF team broken down in to two 4 man teams and one 2 man sniper spotter team. The last 2 are the pilot co-pilot of there craft. Either a gunship, shuttle or light freighter.
the main office will all so have our cyber warfare department. This unit will be in charge of securing our data link and hacking those we deem a threat. There other functions will be
Communications
Signal intelligence
EW
Command and control
we should all so think of getting our own star fighter's to escort our cargo.
ok here is a quick defence review of what we need.
Our threats come from
Thieves
Spies
Saboteurs
Pirates
Our goal is to
Defend our facilities
Defend our Shipments
Defend our personal
We there for need a light security force at all facilities that is 1/4 human, 2/4 droids and 1/4 automated defences turrets.
A QRF team on stand by all day all time. This team needs to be highly mobile able to reach any where on the planet.
A follow on medium security force 1/4 human and 3/4 droid. This will be used to reinforce any facilities that Is under threat and regain control of one that is lost. They will need to be mobile to reach any where on the planet.
