Before you do anything, you must properly prepare yourself. There's no need to rush, instead take the time to discuss strategy with your squad mates - a job well planned is half done!

===Knowing Your Team===
All of your fellow agents will have a big red '''S''' by their head. Be very careful when you see this '''S''', as you don't want to kill your fellow agents on accident.
You will be joined by atleast 3 agents, though the size of your team will scale depending on the population of the server. All of your fellow agents will have a big red '''S''' by their head. Be very careful when you see this '''S''', as you don't want to kill your fellow agents on accident.


There will be a leader. He spawns behind the desk, and is the only one with access to the shutters. If you are the leader but don't feel up to snuff for it, pass your '''lead agent card''' to someone else.

===Communication===
You have a special radio frequency, set in an encrypted wavelength. This is how you will, and must communicate with your team. Communicate passwords, safewords, and attack plans on this channel early, there is no telling who might get the headset later.
You have a special radio frequency, set in an encrypted wavelength. This is how you will, and must communicate with your team. Communicate passwords, safewords, and attack plans on this channel early, or just use it to beg for someone, anyone to tell you they're still alive.
 
Making code named strikes with your team can be an effective way to deal with the crew, but it is difficult.
 
Safewords can be said if you see a comrade but both of you are disguised. "Shamalama dingdong!" or something - fast, and easy to say. The phonetic alphabet can also be useful for this, as in Alpha - A, Bravo - B, Charlie - C and so on.
 
Passwords are only useful if you have a door guard in the Mothership, or some one with the Military PDA. Make it as you want, said over the Syndicate frequency.


Making code named strikes with your team can be an effective way to deal with the crew stealing your headsets, but it is difficult. Codespeak manuals are a cheap, exclusive, and more effective secondary layer of encryption.

[[File:Telecrystal uploadreceive station.png]] '''Telecrystal Management Consoles:''' These consoles work to allow your team to manage their telecrystals. The Telecrystal Stations accept any item with a Syndicate Uplink (PDA, headset, radio, etc.). Once the Uplink is inserted, they can donate their telecrystals to the group's boss console. It's best to go ahead and donate all of your crystals and wait for your commander to dish them out, or buy '''big stompy mechs!'''
Every member gets an amount of bonus telecrystals based on the round population, allowing nuke op equipment to scale with the increased threat of a fully-manned station.
 
[[File:Team telecrystal management console.png]] '''Team Telecrystal Management Console''' can then take its telecrystal pool and distribute it among the hooked Uplink Stations.
 
It gets an amount of bonus telecrystals based on the round population, allowing nuke op equipment to scale with the increased threat of a fully-manned station.
 
Each operative spawns with a personal Syndicate Uplink radio with 30 Telecrystals pre loaded. STOP! Before you waste your crystals on a balloon, take note of the computer terminals in front of you. Once you insert your Uplink into it these new devices allow for your team leader to assign you additional Telecrystals or for you to donate your own Telecrystals to a common pool for your leader to draw upon. Why would you give away your crystals? Giving your crystals to your team leader will allow him to save up and buy some expensive and powerful goodies, like a [[Syndicate_Items#Dark_Mauler|freaking assault mech]]!


Once your team has bought the items essential to your plan you can now selfishly buy what you will need for the mission, however you need to pause and think hard. What [[Syndicate Items]] will you need? Which will cause a huge backlash if used against your team? Now, think what everyone else will likely need. The problem with the agent ID is the access -- you have very little, but an emag, powersink or stolen high-ranking ID will change that in a moment. You do not have an ID or a position at the station, so don't worry about people finding the emagged doors. Everyone on the team should have one. The chameleon kit is wonderful for sneaking in, especially with some ''proper'' documentation. Bombs are great in the right hands. Energy swords, especially if you make double-bladed eswords, are good for blocking enemy fire - but can be easily turned against you if an assistant gets a lucky disarm in. Syndicate borgs are great tanks, and are even more robust if you have a welder, but are at great risk from ion rifle shots.

Before you waste your crystals on a balloon, take note of your team... look at them pathetically whining about expenses. Why would you give away your crystals?

You are now completely outfitted. Remember to travel light - you never know what you might need to carry, like stolen weapons and medkits, or, obviously, the Disk.


You must now equip yourself for space travel so you can invade the station.
Before you go, you must equip yourself for space travel so you can invade the station.
# Get out of your armor and put on the dark red space suit, if you haven't bought an elite/shielded hardsuit.
# Get out of your armor and put on the blood-red hardsuit, if you haven't bought an elite/shielded hardsuit.
# Take your backpack off.
# Take your backpack off. Put a jet harness on. Hold your backpack in your hand.
# Place your internals on, you can use the jet pack as an oxygen tank, and place the jet pack on your back. # Take the military belt from the locker and move any items you will be taking into it, it will be easier on you if you don't need to carry your backpack onto the station so try and cram everything you can into the belt.
# Toggle your internals on, you can use the jet pack as an oxygen tank if you want or use an actual tank.
# Pick out your Syndicate agent card ID's disguise (or wait till you get to the station).
# Switch your helmet to EVA mode, or suffer hard vacuum.
 
# Optionally: Cross the distance to the station using the mass driver instead of the door like a psychopath.
Once you are space ready, and your internals are running from your jetpack, look into the Equipment Room and pick up a pair of Nightvision goggles if you have not already bought a pair of thermals, this is double important if you plan on using a Powersink.
 
You are now completely outfitted, check the inside of your backpack/military belt and throw out what you will not use, this will be handy for the next stage of equipping yourself with weapons.

A quick and dirty list of the common weapons employed by Syndicate Operatives in the field.
*[[File:Stetchkin.png]] Stetchkin Pistol -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue sidearm. 8 Rounds, 30 brute per shot. This is a mediocre primary weapon to use due to its low ammo count and slow rate of fire but it can be useful in a pinch. ''Isn't implant-locked like your other firearms!''
*[[File:Bulldog.png]] Bulldog Shotgun -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat shotgun. 8 Shells drum fed, semi-automatic. Three ammo types. Great for close encounters, switch ammo types from buck to slug as needed.
*[[File:C20r.png]] C20r SMG -- '''10 telecrystals.''' Close Combat SMG. 24 rounds, 30 brute per shot. Comes with two round burst for maximum damage. Great at short or medium range.
*[[File:L6machinegun.png]] L6 SAW -- '''18 telecrystals'''. Light Machinegun. 50 rounds, 45 brute per shot. Very powerful weapon, capable of critting most targets in a single burst. Very unwieldy however, needs both hands free to fire, cannot fit in any storage slot and must be carried at all times.
*[[File:Sniper.png]] Sniper -- '''16 telecrystals'''. Specialist weapon for the professional, or insane. Long range sniper rifle with a scope. 6 rounds, default magazine deals 70 damage per bullet and is very likely to take off limbs in non-hardsuited targets. Comes with a array of alternative ammo for a wide range of scenarios. The sniper is an unwieldy weapon in close combat or claustrophobic conditions (like the whole station) and is usually passed over due to the investment needed to make it work smoothly.
*[[File:Sword.gif]] Energy Sword -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat weapon. 30 brute per hit. When double-bladed, can block taser shots. Best if double-bladed, if used as a sidearm or if you are very robust in melee. Good for conserving ammo, but RNG deflection could end your career.

*[[File:Bulldog.png]] Bulldog Shotgun -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue primary longarm. 8 Shells drum fed, semi-automatic. Three ammo types.
*[[File:C20r.png]] C20r SMG -- '''14 telecrystals.''' Close Combat SMG. 20 rounds, 20 brute per shot/instant knockdown. Popular among nuke ops
*[[File:C90gl.png]] C90gl Assault Rifle -- '''18 telecrystals.''' Mid-range combat rifle. 30 rounds, 35 brute per shot. Secondary grenade launcher, aprox 80 brute per grenade.
*[[File:L6machinegun.png]] L6 SAW -- '''40 telecrystals.''' Light Machinegun. 50 rounds, 60 brute per shot.  Powerful, though if you drop it prepare to be royally screwed by that assistant.
*[[File:Sword.gif]] Energy Sword -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat weapon. 30 brute per hit. When double-bladed, can block taser shots. Best if double-bladed, if used as a sidearm or if you are very robust in melee.
[[File:Pinpointer-green-lg.gif|right|thumb|192px|HAVE THIS.]]'''You've got a [[pinpointer]], right?''' This device, once turned on, will act as a compass directing you straight to your primary target: The [[nuclear authentication disk]]. Every operative that spawns at the start of the round will start with a pinpointer in one of their pockets. Grab it, turn it on by using it in your hand and put it back in your pocket so you can always see it.


The military PDA is very handy if you want to escape after you set the nuke (and I know you do), make sure you assign the PDA to someone who has the least chance of dying and won't fuck off into space. The PDA also comes with a free Detomatrix cartridge, you can use that to [[security|thin the heard]].

You are equipped and armed with the best, but what matters is the will to win, and the thirst for blood. Couple that with wisdom, and a large helping of [[Robust|know how]], and you have a chance. But what makes the Syndicate agent successful isn't their red suit, or revolver, it is their team.

Grab your team, cram into the pod, select your area and launch. You'll be on station within seconds, obliterating anything unfortunate enough to be caught in the way.

Alternatively, your team leader could choose to declare war. This alerts the station crew that you're planning to kick down their door in about 20 minutes and holds the shuttle until then, but it gives the ops a huge TC bonus. You lose the luxury of an unprepared crew, which is a very deadly sacrifice at the best of times, but that's [[Syndicate Items#Support and Mechanized Exosuits|(half of)]] what's fun about it.

Assault Syndicate cyborgs are purchasable from an uplink by using 80 telecrystals. A random ghost from the spectators with the operative preference enabled will be chosen for this (if none is found, you can refund the teleporter item you get). Syndicate cyborgs are very useful for going loud, as they cannot be stunned the same as Operatives can and have powerful weaponry (plus the means to emag other borgs). Syndicate cyborgs can also tell who other operatives are, regardless of their apparel. In addition, they have an energy cell with a charge of 25000 watts, equivalent to 2 1/2 high-capacity cells. They come with the following modules:

Syndicate cyborgs can also tell who other operatives are, regardless of their apparel. In addition, they have an energy cell with a charge of 25000 watts, equivalent to 2 1/2 high-capacity cells. They come with the following modules:
* A pre-installed Ion Thruster module
* Energy sword (high draw from energy pool!)
* Energy sword (high draw from energy pool!)
* A cyborg LMG that fires 3D-printed bullets; these bullets are regenerated over time
* A cyborg LMG that fires 3D-printed bullets; these bullets are instantly fabricated from raw energy from your cell and never need to be reloaded
* A six-shot grenade launcher; it cannot be reloaded
* A six-shot grenade launcher; it cannot be reloaded
* Cryptographic sequencer
* Flash
* A pre-installed Ion Thruster module
* Crowbar
* Crowbar
* Cryptographic sequencer (therefore all you need to emag other borgs, you legend)
* Operative pinpointer
* Operative pinpointer

Syndiborgs have a handy little device called the operative pinpointer. This does not point toward the nuclear disk like the other pinpointers - instead, this points towards the nearest nuclear operative. If a syndiborg is lost or the radio is dead silent, they can use the pinpointer to find their way to an operative. Of course, it does have drawbacks, like not discriminating between a Syndicate corpse and a Syndicate operative, as well as a tendency to stick to the same operative. However, it's very useful for coordinating with your team, and since it has no power draw it should be kept active at all times.

* If the Nuke detonated on the syndicate base, the Syndicates suffer a humiliating defeat. This is only possible if the crew both gets an agent card before an operative explodes and gets the nuke code, usually from a converted borg. Don't let this happen.

* Praying for clown masks as a nuke op is the best thing.
* If the nuclear device is armed, you can examine the pinpointer and it will tell you how long before it explodes.

* Set your ID to a crew member. Give it a legit job. Set your fucking ID to a fucking crew member's name and give it an actual job like Chemist or something.
* Set your ID with a crew member's name, and attach a proper job to it. The crew is likely to hesitate and think it's an ally in a stolen suit, especially if they're using a SecHUD.
* The gloves you start with are already insulated.
* The gloves you start with are already insulated and fire retardant.
* You can put all your nuke op equipment into your backpack. Even your hardsuit and jetpack.

* For the love of all that is holy, do not lose your ID, otherwise you'll end up locked out of the Syndicate Shuttle while the nuke timer ticks down.
* For the love of all that is holy, do not lose your ID, otherwise you'll be shot out of the skies outside the Syndicate Shuttle by your own turrets while going back for the nuke.
* Thermal glasses will make you vulnerable to being flashed, even with your hardsuit helmet on. NVGs do not.

* The black-and-red space suit is good for inserting a stealth OP onto the station. The crew is less likely to go into a panic at the sight of a regular space suit rather than the iconic blood-red hardsuit.

The crew is less likely to go into a panic at the sight of a regular space suit rather than the iconic blood-red hardsuit, although it has almost no armor in the event of something going wrong and, in two pieces instead of one, is harder to store.
