Good job, +rep for that.
Few more observations of my own.
If it's your first mission, it's gonna be quite a big stress. Dark atmosphere, the music, limited time, fear to fail and ruin it for the whole team - everything will be getting on your nerves.
This robot base is located in space. So be ready to enjoy different gravitation. It won't feel the same as on Calypso. Running will be slower. You can go to Crystal Palace or Club Neverdie to know what it will be like there.
All action will be taking place inside of the dark building. The light is pretty unnatural there (mostly green & blue) and it will often be not enough. So if your game settings are set to dark, it can cause you many problems. May be for the first time it's worth making gamma a bit lighter for better orientation there. It really does feel relieving after you find yourself back at outpost and the stress is gone.
Make sure you are actually ready to take this trip. I'd suggest having at least Shogun or Vigilante set on (6A plates won't harm for bigger beacons either but fine-skilled player on small beacon can survive without those of course). Everyone is at risk, even ones that come there to open boxes only. Such people must stay alive through all the trip, so decent armor and fap won't harm. In case you have guys in goblin with fap5 with you, someone must watch over them with the fap always ready.
Bots shoot through walls. Sometimes you won't even see them. The 'killing' part of your team may be somewhere ahead fighting bots there but don't be surprised if some distant laser flashes in the darkness to get you. Yeah, bots are that mean.
Plan the mission and choose the beacon carefully. Team of 15 can easily fail and team of 4-5 can complete it successfully if people know what they are doing. Technically it's possible for 1 player to open all boxes on 1-2 floors on his own. But if it's your first time you can find it hard to clean 1 floor together with your friend.
Try to find as much information as possible and act accordigly. If you can take Warrior Generation 1 with lots of over-fapping on your own, it doesn't mean you'll survive on a mission with Wars Gen 1 as main contenders. They won't be waiting, they'll attack you all at once. If neither of you can take Second Entity alone or with a fapper, most likely 15 of you won't kill it either or you'll loose half of your people trying. Keep it in mind choosing your beacon.
Remember that there are 2 elevators on each floor besides 1st and the last. They are located on different sides of the room and work as the direct link between 2 floors only. So the elevator that took you from 2nd floor to the 3rd one can take you back from the 3rd to the 2nd, but will never help you to get to the 1st one. There's usually no time to think about it there, so usually you will just step out of the one elevator and rush to the other side of the room to go futher (either up or down).
Try not to get lost between the floors. You need to clean one floor to move to another. After all bots on the floor are dead, you get the message the floor is clean, so you don't have to wonder and check again. If everyone in your team participates in shooting, then just move to next floor together after getting the message. If some of you are just 'runners', then it makes some sense to stay on the clean floor while shooters are cleaning another one. Just remember: whole team must be on the very last floor before you kill the boss.
Oh and watch out for the Labirynth. This floor seems really evil when it's your first time. It's hard not to get lost when running from one elevator to another alone, opening boxes is even more complicated. It seems much easier after you get used to it, but the problem is that you won't have time for it.
Here's the example in case someone finds it easier to understand this way:
on the last beacon we took we had 6 people. It was a tough one with various Warriors on the floors and Second Entity as the boss.
A was the most skilled and could kill the boss alone.
B, C were shooters with minisweepers, nice faps and armor
D, E were in plated vigi and had decent faps and weapons but weren't meant to shoot
F was a runner in rascal
Team arrives to the base. First floor is clean by default, so we just choose player C (as he has nice agility and it's a long way to run from the last floor) to clean all the boxes later. He checks the surroundings fast and A, B, C move to the next level to check if there are any bots near elevator. Few moments later D, E and F follow. A, B, C go ahead and kill all the bots while D, E shoot only ones that attack them and fap F if needed. These last 3 stand near elevator.
Upon recieving the message about the floor being clean, A, B and C move to next floor, D, E and F start running to the elevator on the other end of the room to get up as well. D stays a bit longer to check where the boxes are as team leader picked him for this floor.
Same happens for all levels with the only difference that 2 people are chosen to take 1 side of Labirynth each.
On the last level D, E and F arrive when most of the bots are dead but boss is still there. Player A goes to take care of the boss, at the same time player E is running arond allocating the boxes but not coming close to A and The Boss. All others are waiting near elevator ready to jump in there after the signal.
When Boss is dead, E gets busy with opening boxes on this floor and all others together jump in the elevator. One starts opening boxes and rest run through the floor together to get to another elevator down. On each floor running team looses 1-2 people (depending on how many is picked for this floor) and the last elevator is taken by the player C, as it is his floor.
Everyone opens his boxes and reports if the floor is done to the chat. People that finish their part hurry to hardest floors with many boxes or to the floor of someone who has unexpected difficulties.
Then time is out. There's a big Boom and everyone revives at the outpost to count profits\losses.
Mmm what else.. oh, Storage Box is working as any terminal. You can open it by double clicking, Operate function from shortcuts or right click - operate. After its open you either get message in the chat that this container is empty or typical loot window pops out.
And I remember seeing schemes of all floors drawn somewhere but can't remember where now. So if anyone can provide the link here and also exact information on "TT - level of bots and the boss" here, it could be quite useful I believe.
