We all saw the movie, Aliens. It was an instant fan favorite. Now in FOnline: Reloaded, we can be...

The Colonial Marines!

All of your favorite combat characters from Aliens are here! Now!

Their names, as they appeared on the tactical monitors:

S Gorman: Scott Gorman (Xaviar)

A Apone: Al Apone (Goldfinger)

D Hicks: Dwayne Hicks (Arronax)

W Hudson: William Hudson (Ash)

J Vasquez: Jenette Vassquez (Kazriel)

R Frost: Ricco Frost (Rha)

T Crowe: Tim Crowe (JB)

D Spunkmeyer: Daniel Spunkmeyer (Strangelove)

T Wierzbowski: Trevor Wierzbowski (Corosive)

I have been busy the last 2 weeks prepping these characters in Reloaded. (Kaz is handling Vasquez). Each one above is Level 36 with the same build:

ST 5
PE 8
EN 10
CH 1
IN 3
AG 10
LK 3

Traits: Good Natured + Chem Reliant
Tags: Small Guns 200, Big Guns 150, First Aid
Other: OD 100, Speech 125

Perks: ARush, Tough, Even Tougher, Lifegiver, BRD, BRoA, Lifegiver, MRD
More: Strong Back/Pack Rat, Snakeater, Speaker, Mag Person, Ranger
Party Points: 151, ready to get 2 NPC Human Companion Followers

They have each been joined to the Brotherhood of Steel faction, and each will be ready to do the BoS mutant camp quest.

Safe Houses: A tent network is being built now, for the whole unit:
* San Fran - shared
* Shady Sands - shared
* The Den - shared
* Lost Hills - shared
* The mutant camp - shared
* Cathedral, near the last BoS dungeon - private

In addition, the android Lance Bishop is assigned to assist the marines as the team's medic (both medic perks and Doc/FA both 200 with 14 AP), tumbler (Lockpick 150), mechanic (Mr Fixit), scientist (Dismantler), and demolitions expert (Traps 150). Bishop has all professions (tier 2), plus Pathfinder, Explorer, Scout, Dead Man Walking, Demolitions Expert, Faster Healing, Radiation Resistance, and Light Step.

L Bishop

I'll be online on Bishop as often as i can. (My irl job is getting busy - i expect to be working a LOT of overtime soon.)

Official Status
Project COMPLETED on Sunday! Marines were distributed and the first few mutant camps were conquered. We all can stand to boost Big Guns a bit, but the AR is working great until then. I'm on Bishop. Xaviar is on Gorman. JB is on Crowe. Swag is on Drake. Arronax is on Hicks. Ash is on Hudson. Kaz is on Vasquez. Strangelove (Lee) is on Spunkmeyer. Rha is on Frost.

Why?

The BoS quest-line has been expanded to include a repeatable dungeon that is a members-only location near Cathedral. This team of combat characters, the Colonial Marines, will be our strike force, for tackling that dungeon, as often as it repeats (daily?), potentially per each character.

I will be distributing these characters to members of Peacekeeper Squad, and to Friends in PS' Discord chat. You can have one!

Procedure
1) First, agree to the simple rules below (next post).
2) Then get 10 First Aid books ready.
3) Once you get a password from me (each one is unique), log in and change the password to something you will remember.
4) Write down your new password.
5) Go to Cathedral and do the Cellar Rats quest to get your motion sensor!

Gear Packs
Each marine comes with the following weapons, and a small amount of ammo for each:
* 4 Small Guns: Assault Rifle, H&K CAWS, P90c, M79 Grenade Launcher
* 4 Big Guns: LSW, M60, Incinerator, Minigun
* You need a motion sensor, so go do the Cellar Rats quest!

Tents
A network of six (6) Safe Houses have been set up for the marines:
* Five (5) shared locations: San Fran, Shady Sands, The Den, Lost Hills, mutant camp
* One (1) private location each: near Cathedral

(These tents are all Bishop's so he is the only character with map access to all six locations.)

Our First Goal
We must each do the mutant camp. Don't try to solo it - get the team to help you. The mutant camp is one of the quests in the BoS quest-line, the first hard one, and the camp is loaded with gear to loot. Each of us is already done with prior quests (I took care of that already to get us to the best part).

Next Goal
Once we do the mutant camp (each of us), then go thru the next quests until you reach the crazy cave quest. It's hard too, so again don't try to solo it.

Final Goal
The final goal is repeatable. It's the end dungeon that only BoS members can access. I have never seen it. It is supposed to have good loot. Let's find out together, and start repeating it to earn BoS Faction Points!

BoS Faction Points
Every time we beat a BoS quest, we get these points, which are supposed to be traded in for gear. I do not know the limits. Maybe T4 is not available, but maybe it is (?) but even if it isn't now, maybe it will be added later when devs add implants back in. Let's see!

So get ready...

Rules

This has been a lot of work. So please agree to these rules before accepting a marine alt:

1) Do not re-roll your marine.
2) Do not leave the BoS faction.
3) Do not share this character with anyone.
4) Be active - participate with the team often, or return the character for re-distribution.
5) Read 10 First Aid skill books asap, so you're not in combat with low FA.
6) Behave in a way that we're able to maintain the "Aliens RP".
7) Change the password.
8) Write down the new password.

If you can agree to all eight (8) of these rules, then you're ready to receive an in-game Colonial Marine!

GET READY TO ROCK!!!!

Thanks guys. Project complete! Marines have been distributed and the first few mutant camps were conquered on Sunday. It takes a lot to kill the 1000 hp fast-healing boss, but we found he runs out of ammo and tried to punch you. Even then, he is hard to kill.

If someone wants to try this solo, i do not recommend it, but use Buffout/cola, Pyscho, cigs and beer. Go in a counter-clockwise circle around the inside perimeter and kill them one at a time until the boss finally starts attacking. Back off, heal up, and recharge AP. The only way i can think of solo'ing this boss without a Heavy-Handed pugilist build, is to absorb bullets until he runs out of ammo, but you still have to knock him down/out to kill him - otherwise he just keeps FA'ing himself.

The mutant camp has a TON of loot. So even though you only have to beat the boss to complete the quest, i say kill em all and loot it all. Make multiple runs to deal with the weight. They do not regenerate like at Ares. Once you're done there, go to Lost Hills and report to the Quartermaster to complete that quest.

He gives you the next assignment - it's easy - it's listed on the wiki.

Then comes the next tough quest - the "crazy cave" is what i call it. Those of us who did the mutant camp on Sunday have likely made it to the cave and are ready for the rest of you to get that far.

Have fun!
