Mission: Bravo is a cooperative Game, where 5 to 11 Players become the Away Team on an Away Mission.
The Game is designed to be played by a group of People who are all on the same Mission. The best way
to find people to play with is to have your friends over and tell them to bring a computer! The best
place to connect with People who want to Play is here on the Message Board's online Forum.
How many People can Play on a Team?
Each Mission can accommodate a minimum 4 Team Members, plus the Team Captain. Some Teams can carry more
members as Tactical Officers as well. The minimum number of people needed to run a Mission is 5, since
the Captain and 2nd in Command, and your Major Department Heads have to be selected, to start the Game.
It’s also possible to have more than one Mission Team on the map (up to 8 Teams). Theoretically you
could have 8 fully crewed Teams (11 people each) all playing on one Mission Game Map.
The Members on Mission: Bravo Teams are:
Team Captain
Last but not least, the Team Captain. The Captain will also need their own , their job is to see the big
picture and make decisions about what Missions Targets and Direction to undertake, what enemies Targets
to take out, and to keep the Team Safe.
Tactical
The Tactical Officer(s) selects what type of ordinance to fire at whom. Tactical Officers on Missions can
be equipped with Phase Rifles, and Pistols. Tactical Officers can also take over secondary Department Duties.
Science
The Science Officer gets to see the big picture, and can view the whole Game Map. The Science Officer
identifies Friends and Foes, and is the first to know if one of your Target installations or a friendly
Target has an Active Defense, and is about attack.
Engineering
The Engineer can see the status of the Remote Probe's Systems in detail, and adjust the Power Levels of
different Systems. Engineers have to stay on their toes, particularly in tight situations, to balance the
Power needs during Operations.
Communications
The Communications Officer sends and receives messages from HQ and Team Members. Communications needs to
work closely with Science to monitor what’s happening on the play Map, and in combat situations get enemy
Targets to Disarm.
Team Gameplay
What is a Team?
A Team is a group of 5 Members, or more, that forms a Team to compete against other Teams for the top ranking
on the Leaderboard.
How do I Team Play?
When the Team Gameplay is active, points are added up for all of the Members of the Team and combined for a
total Team Score. Points used in calculation are from Member’s Capturing, Deploying and capture points of their
own Mission’s. Note: Points count for Team Play and for your Personal Account.
How do I Join/Leave a Team?
While the Team gameplay is Active, Players may not leave or join a Team. Gameplay is locked in place until the
end of the period. Once it ends, gameplay is over and Teams may recruit other players or change Teams until the
next round begins. You can only be a Member of one Team at a time.
If you are invited to join a Team you will receive an email with the invitation details. You can also accept the
invitation directly by going to that Team's page and clicking the "Accept Invitation" button.
How do I Create/Manage a Team?
Any Player may join a Team, but only Team Leader can create a Team, or be a Team Leader. The Creator of the Team
has the ability to change other Team Members to be Team Leader, invite new Players, and remove Players. Team Leaders
can also edit Details about the Team such as their Name, Tag Line, Logo and Notes.
How are Team Points Calculated?
During an active Team Mission, your regular Mission Points that you receive for Capturing, Deploying or Retrieving a
Probe, or Capturing a Target on your own, are added to the total Team Score. It does not matter if the Target was
discovered with or without the Team. They will both count.
