It seems that there is confusion across the board about who runs what, or who is who, at least from what I've been seeing. Now, I love organizing things, and if at all possible, I would like to give my aid in helping organize us to a decent operating capacity.

Now, I did read a post by Colonel Gallows which explained the whole thing about people grabbing ranks for themselves or having a CoC set up prior to the game being released. While I agree with him, we do need some form of organization, so consider this a start.

I would like to establish a list of Military Lances that are already established, mainly to see what lances are around. Now I would like to exclude Mercenary groups.

So... I would like to know the following information:

*Please include rank.

Note: I just noticed that there was a rather similar thread already established. Whoops. But whatever, yo.

While i am not a fan of a group of players taking power of a house, i do believe communication and such is very important between units and davion players. Organization will help that greatly. i host usually bi weekly ts meetings for davions, which i am hoping helps with this, but more organization always helps.

here is my unit info

Name 1st Robinson Rangers
Commanding officer Glenn "Pappy" Wade
size at the present is one company (18 members), looking to be atleast one battalion or more by launch


salute all

As I stated, I've been looking around and keeping an eye on the AFFS CoC thread that is currently heated, and I have to say - I still agree with people who don't want to set up a CoC based on old experience, while I would say that over there I'm not really one to jump in on discussions at random, so I'm taking my own experience as a gamer and role-player to contribute in a small way.

The purpose of this thread is not to jump the gun behind everyones back and say "These are the people in charge!" as I have no reason to do that, but more or less to bring forth a more structured list of what units / lances/ companies ect. are running around.

Pappy's idea about having bi weekly meetings is a good idea, because it lets us get to know the other members of the community who want to play as Davion (or beyond, hoping MW:O stays alive of a good long time!) It may even be the best way to handle coordinating the different units fighting for our House, and could be more of council type of thing then an actual rank structure the CoC advocates. That's something to discuss later, though, and Pappy's meetings just sound like good fun to have with everyone.

It's a good idea to have a master list of what "units" exist that will serve the Federated Suns, it'll make it easier for everyone to find who is playing where and can assist with contact for recruitment/events/etc.

I was LtCol. Paul Huckins in EGA MPBT I am now just Atron. I have no rank and will wait until the game has begun before I join the unit I want to. That being said Eridani Light Horse is my unit I do so hope it is in game.

[Jack Gallows]

Quick update, the 1st Blackburn Raiders are up to 9 members.

[Rennuke Atrawis]

Do we know how the factions are going to be set up, in game ? For instance are we going to need some kind of commander in chief?

[Listless Nomad]

The devs seem to have indicated that houses will not be player controlled - though the highest ranking ones will have some influence on what planets are attacked. However, house faction ranks are arbitrary and confer no advantages other than access to canon military units and paintschemes. The only units with direct control over actions and ranks will be merc companies. I suspect that most, (like the rangers I am a part of) will become merc companies and only work for affiliated houses.

Thank you Colonel for the update. I've updated the original post. Also, thank you for replying to Mister Atrawis's question Major.

No details have been revealed by PGI. What has been indicated is that in-game (metagame) command is AI, not player controlled. We also know that "at the highest levels of rank" (where rank is a player earned reward gained through in-game influence ratings) begins to influence something about the metagame. Again, what that means has not been shared by PGI.

That doesn't mean there won't be a need for some type of organization within the players that identify themselves as part of House Davion in the game. At the most fundamental level the players and player groups need to talk to one another so we can learn from one another.

You guys better hold it together, we're counting on you guys being able to go rippin' some Snakes with us.
