5 THE MANAGEMENT INTERFACE 0
27
As a Field Commander in the Crayven Corporation, it is your duty to configure
your strike force before you are dropped into a combat zone. The GC-DCIS
software will aid you in this process but it is ultimately your responsibility to
make sure your strike force is balanced correctly.
Briefing
Before the mission you will receive a mission briefing stating your objectives.
Pay attention to the briefing, as it will give you hints of what to expect in
the mission.
During the briefing your objectives and other vital locations are displayed on
the tactical map. Move the mouse over the objective for a short description.
Use the REPLAY button to replay the briefing or SKIP button to skip it. When
you are ready to begin the mission select
START MISSION or select
CONFIGURE DROPSHIPS to configure your strike team.
Configure Dropships
Before you go into a mission you have the option to configure the strike force
you will be using. Once committed to a strike force, it is not possible to change
it during the mission. Changing your strike team is optional, if you don’t want to
worry about the strike team, ANNIE-1, the artificial intelligence advisor will do it
for you.
