The crew (in the order shown in the squad list in this video) -
Davidangel64/X (that's me!)
I serve as the Valkyrie pilot, strategist, and shot caller. I look at the map not as individual fights, but as one large scale battle, and find the best places for our small squad to have the biggest impact to benefit the entirety of the New Conglomerate's efforts on the continent. In the air I do my best to get my squad into good positions for drops, and I avoid enemy fire with evasive piloting and situational awareness in order to keep our Valkyrie in the vicinity to provide a constant spawn point and pressure the enemy as hard as possible. If needed, I may pull a Reaver or Liberator to punch a hole in the enemy's defenses to allow us through, or to beat down an enemy's offenses. When on the ground, I will often play a crafty Light Assault with C-4 to punish enemy positions, or an Engineer to provide ammo and watch choke points with my deployable MANA turret.
RedSummer64 ("Red")
The newest member of our group and the least experienced, Red has nonetheless picked up the Light Assault class and uses it to very potent effect. She tops the leaderboards in many fights (as can be seen in this very video, in fact) using her jump jets to get into position quickly and do what she does. She's a very quick learner, and her personal skill set has proven to be extensive, with more skills revealing themselves or being improved all the time. Like all members of the X-Squad, her communication under pressure plays a key role in successful offense and defense. As the ace up her sleeve, she is a devastating Dalton gunner for my Liberator—for when that enemy Sunderer simply must be brought down. (Enemy ESFs, Liberators, and Galaxies aren't safe from her Dalton shells, either.)
Sileos
You all know this guy. He's been my partner in crime in Planetside 2 and in many other games for a long time now. Aside from myself, Sileos has the most experience in Planetside 2 of anyone in our squad. In the X-Squad, he makes an excellent point man and tactician, providing ground orders for the others and using his extensively-built character to adapt to the situation on the ground. He makes an all the more powerful addition to the team because he knows how I like to do things, and often, I won't even have to give him an order—he's already executing it. To top it off, he's a capable Heavy and Infiltrator, and often surprises us (and the enemy) with his situational MAX play.
Zuraizak ("Zura")
A solid team player all around, Zura usually finds himself serving multiple roles. The X-Squad is small and often doesn't have enough members to fill every needed role, so Zura changes his class and his playstyle on the fly as situations change. At this, he is superb, even with a character that doesn't have a lot of certs built up yet. He can assess a situation and quickly determine what he needs to do to forward the squad's efforts, often thinking one step ahead of the enemy. With his natural adaptability he is our jack of all trades. Zura also has a mindset that actively and innately looks for ways to support teammates, and in a squad, that trait readily makes itself evident and the whole squad is stronger for it. Because he just naturally finds ways to help, Zura often comes through in a pinch, even in the most unlikely of situations.
Skidddog ("Skidd")
The only member of our squad (besides myself) with an active YouTube channel (link below), Skidd plays the quintessential definition of a combat medic. His situational awareness is nothing short of model, using his finely-tuned GR-22 to carve through high numbers of enemy troops, and somehow still finding the time to very quickly heal or revive teammates. His use of the medic's class ability makes him more durable than one would expect, and he carries a brick of C-4 that gives him a virtual haymaker punch which, really, the enemy just doesn't expect from a medic. Medic is his primary role in the X-Squad, but that doesn't mean he can't pick up other classes as needed. Skidd is simply a rock solid FPS player, and a competent teammate.
