Step 1: How to be the Ultimate Badass
Welcome to Basic Training, Marine! Fall in!
You've decided to become the hero the corps needs! Good choice, but do you have what it takes?! This quickstart guide should get you started in no time, but first, you need to read the TGMC:Rules.
We are an MRP (medium role-play) server, meaning that you're expected to acknowledge the roleplaying nature of the game, follow the rules, and at least try and behave like a marine. You don't have to go writing love letters to your sweetheart back home or crying to the psych about your PTSD, but just avoid low-RP shenanigans and excessive memes. While our rules are pretty lenient, that doesn't mean your actions won't have IC (In Character) consequences. Stealing or refusing to listen to orders is against TGMC:Marine Law and will get the Military Police after you, or maybe a friendly stomping by your fellow marines!
If this is your very first time playing Space Station 13, you'll definitely want to read some starter guides and may want to play a few rounds on a standard SS13 game mode server before jumping in here.
Setting Up
Hold up, recruit! Before you jump into the action, we recommend that you set up your character. Choose 'Setup Character' from the New Player Options tab.
- 1. Are your standard, basic character options. Choose a name according to our naming policy (Rule 3 precedents) and how you want to look.
- 2. These are your preferences for other roles. If you want to play marine, turn these options to No. Survivor is a very challenging role and you can always become a xenomorph later after you die, using the Join As Larva option. See the TGMC:Xenomorph_Quickstart_Guide for more info on that.
You may also take a look at the marine role preferences list, but if this is your first game we recommend that you go as the standard TGMC:Squad Marine. They are the necessary backbone of any military operation and thanks to our modified skill system, also extremely versatile.
When you're done, either click the ready button or click Join TGMC if the round has already started and pick 'squad marine' from the bottom of the list.
2. Wake-up, prep, and basics (HUD)
Step 2: Man, this floor is freezing!
You've just woken from cryo, probably alongside your teammates. What are you waiting for, breakfast in bed?! You will be almost naked, hungry and most likely confused, but don't worry, baldie—the engineers counted on that when designing the ship.
First, find the important message in your chat box to the right:
This is your squad assignment, role, and who your direct superior is in the chain-of-command. Unless you picked a preferred squad in your preferences, you'll be assigned randomly.
As you can see, there are four colored lines to guide you. In this example, we've been assigned to Bravo squad. That means we follow the yellow line north. Your squad color is indicated by the squad name's text in the squad assignment message: red for Alpha squad, yellow for Bravo, purple for Charlie, and blue for Delta. It's important to hit the canteen for some breakfast, recuit, because hungry marines move slower. Walk up to one of the vendors, click on it, and dispense your preferred dish. Pick it up by clicking on it, then click on yourself to take a bite. It might take several of these to fill you up as you've been in cryosleep for a good while, but hurry it up, recruit! We haven't got all day!
