I've been playing T.E.C. many times and the Capital Ships when Auto named have TDN I imagion it's like uss for modern ships I was just wondering what TDN stood for.
I wasnt trying to be an ass. But when someone makes a statement and instead of backing it up they start making other claims that doesnt actually help their side. It gets tiring to repeat myself over and over again. As for it being Navy, Ill say it one more time. I think its more then plausible for it to either be Navy or Network. I lean towards Navy because the game heavily uses Naval terms. Im not saying Im 100% right here, Im arguing my point with evidence from Lore and ingame descriptions. So far what has been used "as reasoning" for Network is nothing more then an assumption based on nothing thats supported by gameplay or lore. The arguement that lack of evidence doesnt prove a lack of existance isnt good enough here. There isnt oodles of Lore here but theirs enough to back your arguement up more then using the existance of other military branches that may or may not exist.
As for the UNSC, heres an excerpt from Halopedia.
The UNSC Navy is the branch of the United Nations Space Command Defense Force responsible for naval operations in space. Its roles include ship-to-ship combat, orbital bombardment, the deployment of atmospheric and space fighters, and the delivery of UNSC Marines into combat.
guess they are a navy.
i'm pretty sure the other ships have names, they just arent shown. otherwise, how would the commanders identify the individual ships? and the devs were just lazy (or decided that the opportunity cost was too high) and declined to make names for hundreds of frigates and cruisers
its a wiki, it is not credible!
just kidding, i think wikipedia is the greatest resource known to man (almost. its getting there). i dont know enough about the series to comment on that, though i would trust the information. guess i was wrong
yeah took me a minute to find the actual info that stated Navy.......i was like................"I could have sworn Navy was mentioned in Halo:2 when you first start out" but Halo is hard to pin down as its kindof a hypocrite and will say and do one thing at one point in its lore and vastly change it at another point in its lore. The way I see UNSC is nothing more then the same as HMS or RFS it doesnt say Navy in it but its still a Marker to allow other to know what Military those ships belong to. Same way I see TDN its not an acronym to elude to multiple military branches but to allow you to know that that Big Kol Battleship belongs to the Trader Emergency Coalition.
I first agree that all the ship have a name and Probably all have TDN but only the capital Ships have names. The thought of other branch well I believe both the Varsari and T.E.C. have them who do you think enforce the Colonial Goverments when they land of ether of those two Empires. The Advent have there other ways. The next reason I think both of those Goverment have to deffend ground Goverment when thse up-risings happen in the game. You can't do that from space unless it's after. With the lore the way it is it would require other military branchs.
the Vasari at one time did have ground troops wether they exist still or not is debateable But the Vasari Lore state they rule from orbital structures without actual contact with the people on the surface.
before the flight, they had at least one Variment of shock troops on each Kortul, either for boarding or planetary attack. I'm thinking boarding, but that's just opinion.
In the game on the section for full Terran lock-down it talks about Importing more troops to the planet wich says to me that they have land forces if only on terran worlds
I was talkiing about Varsari I thought I had put that down but I see I forgot
The arguement here is why the N in TDN means Navy or Network, and one of the arguements from the Network side are saying that other branches of the TEC military is why Network makes sense.........Im not saying other branches dont exist or that Network doesnt make sense. Im saying that the arguement that other branches of the military, which as far as I know arent mentioned in TEC Lore, is a poor arguement considering its speculation and not based on anything ingame. If someone can show me actual lore or actual ingame evidence of TEC Army/AF/Marines Ill definitely bow out of the debate.
Theres no arguement here when it comes to Vasari its an accepted part of lore that Vasari either currently have ShockTroops (somewheres in their Fleet) or they got rid of the need for them.
Strange that only the Trader Emergency Coalition gives prefixes to their capital ships while the Vasari and Advent don't.
Vasari are aliens...........they do things differently...........Advent well, I like to think of them as the Mentally challenged bully with the helmet.......Not too smart when it comes to somethings, but have abnormal levels of strength...
i prefer to think that TEC has the only normal (by our standards) military structure. for the vasari, well, allegiance said it best. teh advent are... strange, to say the least
ROFL!!!!!!
With the Varsari there are 2 mentions of ground troops 1st is the Full Terran Lock-down were it talks about importing more ground troops and then one of the media center up-grades talks about the military watching to enforce no talking against the current goverment. So yes the Varsari have ground troops
Wtf is a "variment" anyway?
Just some random Vasari lingo?
im guessing
and not to be "that guy" or anything but....this IS only about the TEC. no, not even the TEC. just the TDN part of the TEC.
Another one: Total Destruction Nightmare!
Variment is just a way of saying theres different versions of something. Like how you can get different options in your car?
Variment of ShockTroops that they would have different groupings of shocktroops, like more machine gunners, or more medics etc etc, not that the Vasari would use machine guns or anything just an example.
Trader Defence Network. Navy just doesn't have the same level of flow.
THANK you! haha
win for us.
exactly what i said!
LOL... this is still going? Wow.
Trader Defense Network, indeed.
again, nothing to back it up. Just your opinion, your only arguement is its the future, which doesnt mean squat since you cant prove that thats the mentality of future humans. Trader Defense Navy rolls off your tongue as easy as Network. The TEC isnt a Television Network, its a damn military. IE Navy.
