Ranger's Questions Options

[BlackRangerXIII]

This is the thread where all my questions will be stored and answered.
Moderators and Admins have no right of closing this as I have questions at Regular intervals

Reason here

Now to the first batch of questions:

1. What came first? the Overlord or the Emperor?
2. Can I use for the Emperor the Designation of ZTZ-200GH as it's upgraded with the Nuclear tanks upgrade?

[Karpet]

1. Overlord of course. Emperor was Kwai's upgrade, if I'm not mistaken.

[MARS]

1. The Overlord came first, the Emperor was an upgrade to it.

2. Designations explained:
1st generation Overlord (i.e. the one used during Generals/ZH) = ZTZ-200
1st generation Nuclear Overlord = ZTZ-200H (H = He, 'nuclear')
Emperor = ZTZ-200G (G = Gai, 'modified')
Nuclear Emperor = ZTZ-200GN
2nd generation Overlord (i.e. the current one in service with native Emperor upgrades) = ZTZ-200A1
2nd generation Nuclear Overlord = ZTZ-200A1H

Battlemaster = Type 88G
Nuclear Battlemaster = Type 88GH

Thanks for that but:

1. Why the Saboteur wasn't added?
2. What is the Designations for the Gattling tank, Dragon tank and Inferno Cannon?

[MARS]

1. The Saboteur was removed from ROTR because we feel that the GLA is more the 'destructive' kind of sneaky faction. Simply put, they shouldn't sneak a bunch of guys into a base to disable a power plant for ten seconds. They should sneak in there to flat-out destroy the power plant nad EVERYTHING ELSE until someone puts them down. Hence why the Saboteur was removed due to no longer fitting their intended doctrine. THAT SAID, the GLA could still use such trickery in-lore of course.
2. They don't seem to have official designations. The Gattling tank would be a PGZ-something and the Inferno Cannon would be a PLZ-something. No idea about the Dragon Tank. Also, I'm not actually all THAT fond of fan-fics attaching all sorts of semi-canon designations on every vehicle because it only makes it harder for me to take those into account and keep things consistent. Generally, it would be much easier to simply omit designations unless I've previously established or at least confirmed them.

1. Goes to my fan fiction then?
2. Like the Overlord, the Emperor, the Now Designated Nuke cannon, the Troop Crawler and the Assault Variant and the Battlemasters right?

[Svea Rike]

You know, you could look up real life vehicle designations in the PLA and base your fan-designations from them with some fictional numbers and letters added. Just a suggestion.

I'll keep that in mind

New Question:
Will the Term Angels of Death (Term used by the WH40K Space Marines to talk about themselves) fit well to the Venoms?

[MARS]

It would, but bear in mind that the Venom operators are still elite special forces soldiers, not poets, so they would probably look at their work in a very pragmatical light with relatively little poetic romanticism.

Like "get the job done quick" type of Mentality?

[V.Metalic]

"and right" too

[BlackRangerXIII]

"and right" too

agree

[BlackRangerXIII]

How Private Military Companies stand in the Rise of the Reds canon?

[MARS]

Your answer, pretty much.

[BlackRangerXIII]

Your answer, pretty much.

So the PMC industry is at High?
Is there any possibility of making a recruitment center for them and add to RotR?

No. That's a lot of content that would basically delay us further on our plans.

Maybe after 2.0?

Maybe a porn star will offer me the night of my life. Maybe i will win a million euros later. Aaaand maybe stuff like this is so far off and not in the team's current plans for the next release/s that the question is simply useless.

The European Continental Army was not planned from the start. The navy was not planned from the start. Plans change.

And please, be that nice and dont post just to be rude. You dont like the questions BlackRanger is giving, dont respond or send him an PM, will you? Please?

I'm not trying to pick a fight, and I apologize for derailing this topic further, but I'd just like to point out that perhaps you should take your own advice.

Personally, I think this entire "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" mentality is stupid. As veteran members we have a certain responsibility to correct the mistakes of newer members, to ensure that everyone can enjoy their time in the forums. True, there are "better" ways to do this than using insults and sarcasm, but sometimes the punishment must fit the crime. Yes plans "can" change, but insisting on something immidiately after someone already said no is like a slap to the face, you can't blame people for sometimes wanting to slap them back.

[teslashark]

...maybe

Anubis sort of killed his own argument by defining "stuff like this is so far off and not in the team's current plans for the next release/s that the question is simply useless" as a low possibility occurence, i.e. he accidentally used a double negative...
Back to the topic, the Shipyard is already quite similar to what Ranger asked for in terms of mechanic. A ground-based neutral recruit structure is simply too much work and not really gamechanging. Move your dozers around!

[Anubis]

Anubis sort of used sarcasm to answer exactly what Zeke said - pushing a suggestion when it's already been answered. So next time you try to be smart about the negation part - read SARCASM towards pushy behavior. Stop confusing sarcasm with insults or rude behavior because there's a huge difference between them. Not to mention that this whole topic started with one of the most ridiculous statements of all time - moderators have no right to close this thread - LOL, LMAO, ROFL. If you can't deal with my sarcasm or can't understand it, that's not my problem, that's your own limitations. That being said, people should learn the difference between asking a question, fishing for info and down right trying to push their suggestions. And Volen - move the fuck on with your life and this useless bias you have with me. You are the last person on earth to teach me or anyone on this planet the idea of civilized actions or diplomatic behavior.

[LayZboy]

Can others use this thread for questions as well?

I want to know, which units can enter the ECA tank-bunkers. I assume the heavy stuff like Manticore/Pandora/Claymores can't go in there but I'm unsure about others.

[BlackRangerXIII]

Could you all please STOP!

I got my answer!
New Question:

I was thinking about giving the Venom Pilots something to differentiate them even more, Like the Valkyrie having heightened aggressiveness and Lack of Pain sensors (Like the Mercenaries, only more High Tech and less "Voodoo") and the Vikings having their emotions suppressed or even disabled and heightened perception.

Is it Possible?

No
I've made this thread for my own questions, so could you please start your own
