Who We Are:

We are an alliance of friends. We would like to expand this alliance to become the best of the best. We will always help each other out and complete every call. We accept new and experienced players because everyone helps in this alliance. Everyone should enjoy their time here!

What System We Are:

Mission Chief

What We Strive For:

Overall, the alliance works to better us all as a whole, but we also strive for the individuality of the players to enjoy their time and have something to relax and spend time with others when they wish. We are also currently recruiting experienced members to become a part of the alliance administration team and assist with the day-to-day operations.

Rules:

1. Advertising is allowed only to RECRUIT others to this alliance!

2. Respect others.

3. Roleplaying is allowed in-game and in our community, but don't annoy others.

4. Do not ask for promotions. Management will promote members as we see fit.

5. Do not take the game too seriously. Have Fun!

6. Listen to Staff: if they say stop, just stop.

7. Violations will be handled on a case-by-case basis and may result in warn/mute/kick/ban appropriately.

Guidelines / Procedures:

1. Request Alliance Buildings on the Alliance Building Request forum page.\

2. Nobody should ever ask for your password. Never give it out to anyone, admins and co-admins included.

3. We prefer if you share medium or large calls. These help new and even old players earn credits faster.

4. Claiming of areas or locations is not allowed. Anyone is allowed to build wherever they would like.

5. Stations do not necessarily have to exist in the real world, and apparatus can have made-up names. (keep it within reason)

You will likely never see a, "Rescue Pumper" as it would be 3 vehicles in one. Yes it might be amazing to have it realistic however, the game developers will not allow this as it eliminates the need for the single purpose units.

Quote from Barake

I am wondering do you just have one dispatch center for stations spread over a hundred miles or do you break it down by say counties or real fire districts? I am covering about 300 by 200 miles or 29 counties and I put a dispatch center in each county. But I am starting to wonder if I should just put them under 1 centrally located dispatch center.

Barake,

I have just moved onto my 2nd county in PA and I would like to inform you that whatever apparatus is designated to your dispatch center, determines what calls you get. That means if you have a Swift Water Rescue unit for example at a station under Dispatch Center 1, then the stations under Dispatch Center 2 shouldn't receive any calls regarding Swift Water Rescue.

That is how the game is supposed to register the dispatch center's, and of course, the game doesn't always work but they're trying.

Dispatch Centers are mainly used to keep tabs on the statistics and calls regarding your area of coverage.

Don't hesitate to reply with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Quote from zack042100

Am I thinking of creating a swoft water task force within my department what apparatus do we have for this

Zack042100,

At this time, there are only 2 units pertaining to Swift Water Rescue. These units are the Boat Trailer (Requiring a utility vehicle to haul it) and the Heavy Rescue with Boat. There are no other, "Swift Water Rescue" type units in the game other than that.

Quote from Whitchit

So, one of the areas I feel has been glossed over a little is the staffing in the game - specifically how they all have names and training but no ranks themselves. I would love to see a (toggle-able) feature which would allow players to promote certain staff members based on the number per station to a certain level. To take policing as an example for every 10 staff members, you have a Sgt (first rank up) then for every 20, an Insp. So say you have 30 staff, then you get 1 Insp, 3 Sgts and the rest Constables. I would also love to see auto-generated staff names with corresponding PC / Paramedic / FF prefaces to their names etc...

For higher ranks it could be based on the number of stations you have of that type - every 3 police stations you are allowed to train 1 Chief Insp; every 10, a Supt; every 20, Chief Supt; then at 30 you get 1 Assistant Chief Constable; at 40, 1 DCC; and 50 gets you a Chief Constable (1xmax of each of the top three to make it realistic?) So say you have 36 Stations, then you would have maybe 11 C/Insp, 3 Supts, 1 C/Supt and an ACC. Each could add some benefit to being deployed (or even become *TOGGLE-ABLE* mission requirements to go alongside the larger missions).

It would also allow realisim for operations such as with firearms you could have a firearm trained Sgt, Insp and Supt as Bronze, Silver & Gold etc...

I know the devs have loads of versions of the game to update and we might never see this come to reality (assuming it's wanted), but I would love just a little more detail and depth into the staff besides name and education.

I am keen to hear community feedback and especially keen to hear if the content advisors have any input on how this could be made more realistic / generic for the whole of the UK, and whether it's feesable in terms of how the game works coding-wise.

Whitchit,

I absolutely love this idea!! I think the naming however would be difficult, simply because not each department would run constables and some of us have no idea what exactly a constable is.

The general idea is awesome, but I think maybe we just make a simplified thing such as
• Firefighter / Police Officer / EMT / Paramedic
• Lieutenant
• Captain
• Assistant Chief
• Deputy Chief
• Chief
or something along the lines of that ^

Would just make a simplified overall system and would be cool to assign Lt’s to each truck that’s in charge of the apparatus and then the rest just normal employees.

Anybody else have any good input? Overall I’d love to see this implemented but might be a very long time until we see this.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from thomas1321

So yes some calls can be ran with units not responding without lights or siren. The calls which do this are only the planned events which varies across the game but can range from smoke alarm checks to football events. These events send the unit but don't show any lights and travel at just like a unit going back to a station.

Thomas1321,

Thankyou for letting us know about that. What we are mainly trying to push for it an option to respond to ANY call Code 3 or Code 1. It’ll be Code 3 by default for those that don’t wanna play it out realistically and it doesn’t effect their gameplay.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from CoronelCampos

Thanks for responding quickly, look, I don't know if it's me but that option doesn't appear.
I have the game in Spanish

CoronelCampos,

Yeah I honestly don’t know why it’s like that.

Im not at my computer for a while but I will try to remember and get back to you once I’m home.

Anymore questions, comments or concerns feel free to let me know!

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from TamaraCade

Hi, I have just recently started playing and am very addicted. I am playing as realistically as I can with stations at their correct location and all POIs on real life counterparts (which is taking forever lol) but when it comes to the vehicles my local stations are all quite small and therefore I am running into the problem of only having a few engines for missions and not having the right types of engines for missions. The closest station to me with an Aerial Appliance Truck is around 1hr away and that causes issues when I keep getting roof fires that need it.

Do you play this realistically with 1 water ladder stations only having 1 water ladder etc. Or do you admit defeat and expand to make room for other units?

I dread to think where my local hazmat team is or any other units in the later game.

• PS. If you run a realistic alliance I'd love to hear your rules regarding this as I am looking to join one in the near future

TamaraCade,

Welcome to mission chief firstly!

In regards to your conflict, for now you can buy a platform (or Quint if that’s what it is and you are a Captain or above), you can place it in one of your current stations, then once you expand, you can just move that apparatus to its appropriate location.

In regards to your alliance request, you can check out the alliance I am in where we play realistically and will always help you out with whatever you need, especially if you’re nearby one of us and we will send units to you. You can check us out with the link in my signature!

Anymore questions, comments or concerns feel free to let me know!

Quote from CoronelCampos

How can I upload my texture pack to the game? I don't know the procedure to publicly upload my mod.For Example:
Dodge Charger Chilean Police (Carabineros de Chile)

CoronelCampos,

You have to go to the graphics pack selection, the choose vehicles and create your own. Then you find the slot that you wanna play your graphic in such as your police car or type 1 engine, etc.

Once you have done that, it’ll ask you to upload an image of it without lights and then an APNG or whatever you have for it with your lights activated.

Very basic explanation but if you need further help lemme know.

SemperDeadly

Quote from ITBEZIGGY

Hello Dev Team

I absolutely love digging into this game after work with my mates, answering all the jobs you guys have created, I have no criticism however i do have a few suggestions for future updates to come. My apologies if these suggestions have been raised on this discussion from. it is my first time posting so i apologize again if i break any rules during this post.

Suggestion 1

during my time as volunteer we are often called to jobs that do not require us to respond code 3 (lights and sirens) however sometimes want us to respond code 1 (no lights) or code 2 (semi of both), I see the popup jobs like smoke detector checks and the community engagement events, which display the units proceeding with no lights, and normal jobs they respond with lights i am asking if we as players are able to receive different response status to jobs implemented on the callout screen or something similar, this would add that crispy snap to the game for realism sakes. i hope somebody out there would agree

Suggestion 2

I love seeing the custom creators, creating new graphics packs for their individual units and areas, i myself have assisted in that. currently their are only two different customisations to the game, this includes vehicle packs and mission icons, i was wondering if us as players are able to get customisable sounds eg dispatch, pager tones, bells, whistles, realistic sounds, to add to that realism. Instead of the bell and tone of every single mission we get. That would be a great advantage to the players and alliances to have realistic area tones for their realistic areas they play as.

Suggestion 3

I know this is a hot topic at the moment so i wont say much on it but please can we get Alliance buildings back into the game as soon as possible as a hot patch or in the next update of the game. As myself and all the alliances out there would agree, doubling up on stations due to the inability to see each others stations causes chaos in organising a realistic district when each member has the same station.

If you have made it this far thanks for listening to my suggestions
Keep up the good work team. very impressed still here after day one.

Yours Sincerely
Bradley

Bradley,

For your suggestion regarding the Code 1 or Code 3 responses, it has been brought up already. The fact you continued to bring it up allows the devs to really see that the community wants it implemented in game. Our idea was mainly all calls are Code 3 and if you want it a Code 1 call, you’d just select the drop down box and select Code 1. That way those players who don’t wanna RP it out and just go Code 3 all the time, have the default setting of Code 3.

Secondly, your suggestion regarding the different tones and sirens is absolutely awesome! I haven’t thought about that and I think it’s awesome to hear about someone bringing that up. Definately a plus 1 from me on that and I really hope we can get that in so I can use my county’s dispatch tones for any call that comes through. GREAT suggestion!

Lastly, I believe they are already trying to fix it, or it was already fixed. We just have to await the update with it and see how things turn out for us. There’s a LOT of things they’re working on constantly but I know the alliance buildings is a main one for them ontop of the Brush stuff they’re trying to do.

Wrapping up your post, I think all 3 are great suggestions and I upvoted your post! Thanks for the awesome suggestions man!

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Greetings all,

Read this post and I see this is post somehow made itself onto the US version? Im just confused, especially the part where we don't have 2x credits like the original post stated.

Anybody able to un-confuse me?

SemperDeadly

Quote from manfromcny

Semper,
You actually can use the utility for tree in roadway calls, and it does actually act as a heavy rescue- also if you do any water rescue expansions on a station- and buy a boat- it can pull the boat

manfromcny,

My apology as I was unaware those mission allowed them. My perspective though is to just get calls like that more often. I don't enjoy seeing utility units in my stations and just not being called, as well as the water rescue expansion calls need to generate more for us to use them too.

As it currently stands, Utility's are near useless besides hauling trailers for a once in a while water rescue mission.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Greetings,

On the more serious note of my complaints, I would like to bring up the subject of Utility Unit’s.

I feel like there should be more calls involving utility units because mine never run calls and are just a piece of apparatus occupying the space in my station.

Can I make a suggestion for some calls? Minor Accident (Would just use a utility unit to broom debris and throw some speedy dry down), traffic control (Use the smaller apparatus to assist local PD in controlling traffic or something so they aren’t tied up all day, Tree on Roadway (You dont need to send a big fire engine to simply use a chainsaw so I think we should swap that out for a utility unit call).

I just wanna see people’s utility units more active. I know they’re used for trailers and all but still some General single apparatus calls for them would be cool to watch them respond with it.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Greetings,

I am having a HUGE problem with the game itself. I seem to have gotten everything setup and going good now but I’ve ran into an issue. The dang game is too addicting and I just cannot stop playing it.

If anybody is experiencing the same issue, please let me know.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from VICFire

You can go to each dispatch centre and click 'Edit', you'll then be given a tick box which says "Create your own coverage area." If you select this for each one, it will stop you producing those large calls in areas that can't handle them. In the meantime, the calls will disappear within 48 hours of spawning.

VICFire,

In reference to the disappearing of calls, if I’m correct it’s actually 24, not 48.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from Fireboy718

apologies if this is redundant, but it would be nice to be able to establish station response boundaries. That way the first units brought up for dispatch would be the closest within that stations boundary, then cascade to closest by distance for available units.

Fireboy718,

Is it not already set to the closest unit to the scene..?

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from ChrisB

We just found it weird.

The members in that alliance are members who we either kicked for inactivity or other reasons.
There then join make an alliance and copy are rules and command structure, even down to the titles people hold.

ChrisB,

What others in this forum have posted, its just showing that yall have a good, solid setup that is proven to work and they want to be an alliance like yours. You're the founders of your own miracles and should'nt be upset if others take your work here because you know that you made it all and put all the hard work in and you are seeing it elsewhere now. You made a good move, don't let it feel like it should run your alliance down dude.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from ChrisB

hi

Wonder if anyone give me advice on the following:

An alliance have copied are alliance rules and are using them. The rules are word for word with the odd change.

Any advice would be appreciated

Display More

ChrisB,

Although it may be a pain seeing another alliance copying your rules and all, I don't think there is a necessity to conduct any punishment towards the alliance.

Yes you might have spent hours on rules or maybe even seconds for some. However it is just a bunch of words that cause no actual harm to you or your alliance besides hurt your feelings. I think you should just let it go, maybe at the most message the owners if you REALLY are super butthurt about it and ask if they could please not copy your rules and change them completely.

I just honestly think getting hurt over a bunch of words that aren't being disrespectful to anyone, is just something we shouldn't care much about here. If it was stealing graphics packs or something more important, then yes 100% go for it, but its just a bunch of words put together.

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Quote from DalyCityFire

There should be a way to turn on or off dispatch centers. One may choose to play one area and not the other in the same account.

Also when one is expanding into another area and a new dispatch center is created for that area, they may not have all the required units built for the new area yet , like HazMat, MCV, BCs, rescues, water tenders, etc They player can chose to turn off the new area and continue to gain credits with the original area until the new area can be put into service with the required units.

DalyCityFire,

I support this suggestion, and I think for those who like doing different locations that are not nearby their previous ones is a great asset. I think what should happen is you are only allowed 1 Dispatch Center to be set to "Out Of Service" in which ANY station that is attached to that dispatch center is placed on an "Out Of Service" status.

With that being said, there must be a requirement of 1 dispatch center online to do so. I also think we should have it set so you can only do this at a certain rank, or a certain amount of stations attached to the dispatch center.

Great suggestion and I support it all the way!

Sincerely,
SemperDeadly

Thank you that is very helpful. This whole time I have been doing it through the individual units info page lol
