Buddy System Guide for Luminis Members

Purpose

The Pyro system is a harsh and perilous frontier, where isolation can lead to disaster. To ensure the success and safety of Luminis operations, a robust buddy system is essential. This guide outlines the principles and practices needed to stay connected, organized, and effective while navigating the challenges of Star Citizen.

Core Principles

  1. Unity on the Same Server

    • Importance: Scattering across multiple servers weakens our strength in numbers. Being on the same server ensures we can respond effectively to threats and opportunities.
    • Action: Coordinate with the team before logging in to join the same server. Use the organization’s communication channels to confirm server locations.

  2. Teaming Up

    • Importance: Even small groups are more formidable than lone players. Pairing up reduces vulnerability and increases efficiency in both combat and resource gathering.
    • Action: Always seek to join or form a team, even for solo missions. A buddy can provide backup or extraction in emergencies.

  3. Shared Friends List

    • Importance: Quickly finding and joining each other is crucial in dynamic environments like Pyro. A complete friends list ensures seamless coordination.
    • Action: Add every Luminis member to your in-game friends list. Regularly update your list to include new members.

  4. Constant Party Formation

    • Importance: Remaining in a party provides continuous situational awareness through shared markers and streamlined communication.
    • Action: Create or join a party, even if objectives differ. This ensures quick regrouping if needed.

  5. Effective Communication

    • Importance: Real-time updates and alerts can be the difference between success and failure.
    • Action: Use the new emergency channels on TeamSpeak (operational soon) to coordinate. These will enable rapid escalation during critical moments.

Practical Steps

  1. Before Logging In

    • Check org communication channels (Discord, TeamSpeak, etc.) for server details.
    • Confirm the server and communicate your intent to join.

  2. In-Game

    • Immediately form or join a party upon login.
    • Ensure all party members have each other’s markers visible.
    • Regularly check in with your buddy or team about status and location.

  3. Friend Management

    • Periodically review your friends list to ensure all active members are included.
    • Coordinate with the org to identify and add new members or returning players.

  4. Using TeamSpeak Emergency Channels

    • Familiarize yourself with emergency protocols and channels.
    • During critical operations, keep one ear on the emergency channel to respond swiftly to distress calls or alerts.

  5. During Missions

    • Always stay within reasonable proximity of your buddy or team.
    • Share intel and coordinate actions to minimize risks.

  6. Post-Mission

    • Debrief with your buddy or team to identify improvements.
    • Share valuable insights or discoveries with the org.

Emergency Protocols

  1. Engaging Emergency Channels

    • Use TeamSpeak’s emergency channels for immediate support when under threat.
    • Clearly state your location, situation, and support needed.

  2. Responding to Distress Calls

    • Prioritize helping members in distress unless mission-critical tasks require otherwise.
    • Coordinate via TeamSpeak and regroup efficiently.

  3. Fallback Plans

    • Designate fallback points in high-risk areas for regrouping if separated.
    • TBD: Additional fallback protocols will be outlined.

Summary

The buddy system is more than just a safety measure; it embodies the Luminis ethos of collaboration and mutual support. By staying connected, communicating effectively, and working as a unified team, we can overcome the challenges Pyro presents and emerge as a dominant force in Star Citizen. Together, we thrive. Together, we succeed.
