Suggestions for Improvment

Recruitment does need to be the focus at present if we are to have any hope of competing with the Khans. But as well as recruiting there needs to be support and engagement after this, we need to show people how to level up a decent build and make it clear that they need to do it. We can't afford to leave recruits idle after joining. We need brand new players to be out with us the following week, not still idling on TS months later.

I am happy to draft something up for a recruit thread if thats helpful? And happy to train noobs too.

One thing many players lack is direction, as there is no "main quest" in this game, a lack of startup PvE content, and no in-game way to see what is recommended as "next thing to do". We could provide that for them. So imagine we designate "modes" and let each player/member declare his own mode, and change it as he desires. Then we provide a specific Progress Path for the serious mode, so a new guy knows what to do next.

Freestyle Mode (Default, no path)
It means "Hey i'm new and i don't want anyone imposing any expectations on me yet. I need to be free to explore. I'll ask questions along the way to speed up my learning curve. Be patient with me for now, and i look forward to being a more serious player." Or it could mean, "For a while, i want to focus on caps so i can get better set up. I'm available to do stuff, but give me some room to grow my economy."

Combat Prep Mode
It means "Hey i think i have the hang of this enough to start getting ready with a proper fighter build, now that you guys helped me plan one. I want to go to Ares and help this team win! So i will level a guy, amass some ammo, drugs, and set up a few tents and gear piles there."

(These are not listed in any order.) This is based somewhat on feedback i received about my Startup Guide that I wrote on the wiki. I had an amazing number of random new players thank me for it and ask when it will be done. I think people used it because they lack direction, and a Step-by-Step Startup Guide provides a clear, precise Progress Path.

And as for the Progress Path, it could be like a faction quest line. Maybe even a story, with a list of steps to take, like this:

1) You have a long road ahead of you. You will take damage and need to heal, fast. Let's start by gathering the ingredients necessary for you to have a nice stash of superstims. Assigmment: gather 200 broc, and 200 xander. You will get 100 superstims and your next assignment.

2) Good job. Now you have a starter supply of healing meds. Bring a few to Cathedral on the west coast for your next assignment, which is to clear the rats from their cellar. Watch out for brain rats. You will receive a motion sensor and qualify for your next assignment.

3) Well done! We have word that Tandy is in need of a fighter to take down a ruthless group of bandits. Assignment: go to NCR and do the Rail Line Gang quest. You will receive some Psycho, and your next assignment.

4) Well that wasn't so bad, huh. Guess what: there's more. This one will be tougher. There is an old vault east of NCR populated by enemy combatants. They hit our last scouting missions there, with no mercy. We need to give it back to them, and you're the one we'd like to see do this. Assignment: go to Vault 15 and clear out all of the Slags. You'll need to bring some of those superstims and one of those Psychos! You will receive [something here] and qualify for your next assignment.

One of us should go with them to witness, and heal them during the fight if they get into serious trouble. More items should include farming various NPCs like Floaters/Centaurs, Fire Geckos, Broken Hills mutants, NCR Patrols(?), Desert Warriors, Rebeliants, Press Gang, etc. These assignments could be written on holotapes too. At some point we should witness them solo the GR quest since they will likely want to repeat that one a lot.

Other milestones i would like to see people reach include: getting their own private base on an alternate character, where they keep maps and books for additional characters. Educating them on the settings in the base terminal so they know how to use it. Getting a car, and a tent network. If they do want to craft, helping them get the best blueprints and an optimal miner build. If they do not want to craft, showing them where best to farm stuff.

What about this for the fonline faction section?

You made this far, so why would you enlist with Peacekeeper Squad?

Well we are predominantly a PvE faction, as well as traders to factions (a bit like a player run "gun runners" faction)
We DO NOT Player kill, in fact we are the reverse we will assist new players progress in the game.

We regularly run PvE sessions to: Ares, enclave, Warehouse, Reno and Glow. this helps our team to get used to Realtime combat, as well as provide some additional non craftable items

You can join as a crafter/fighter or both
####Crafter
If you are looking to craft and be the best, we always have orders to fulfill so there is never a shortage of required equipment. The role of a crafter is to supply our fighters with the best equipment and be the "traders" bringing in Caps for the faction to allow us to purchase more specialist items.

We help fund blueprints and professions for the areas you wish to become proficient in.

####Fighter
If you are more battle orientated then we do many dungeons most evening to give you the practice you need to progress and improve in combat, ideally moving towards realtime combat to allow us to progress to Town Control.
The role of a fighter is that of a protector for the crafters as well the wastelands.

We provide you with the best equipment we can make and fund books, and other equipment to make you the best you can be

We also have a number of builds that our more seasoned members have recommended to get you ahead of the games.

Ask anything and we'll try to answer, we are here to help.
However, cross us and you will find no further support will be available to you

We look forward to you joining our ranks
