Because the TSA are exterminators, and the companies pay them to clean out their multi billion/trillion dollar stations. I mean if you had a termite problem and the exterminator used a hand grenade because its easier and faster, i think you would be quite peeved and want compensation.
I'd be the clever guy that explained to the TSA that when you have a sonic weapon that can fire through walls, you don't actually have to go into the infested ship. You just have to get ship to ship contact to allow the sonic wave to travel. Then all the marines would be overjoyed and instead of hand to hand fighting they would happily start sieging away the alien menace from the safety of an entirely different location.
then ill just hide behind the rest of you and steal your kills, oh yes i would <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Join the TSA to fight Aliens? Are you sane? I might not love my life, but I defenitly do not want to die - and fighting among people whos famous last word probably will be "omg script h4xx ban him admin uurgh" seems like suicide to me...
Hell, if we get those awesome TSA edition dancing shoes that let ordinary human beings become superman balletdancers on speed, sure I'd join up. Not sure if I'd get around to shooting Skulks, I might just be busy shaking my booty all day long.
Man, I don't think the TSA would ever get anything done anyway. What with the Nanite-autodeflection and all, stabbing your buddy in the face would be too much fun. Or seeing who can swallow the most Hand Grenades. Weee.

Dance Dance hive destruction... we may have something here
---------------------- Are we allowed to dress up as an onos and eat aliens while in disguise?
If yes, then i would join because i dont want to be eaten. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
^^ That my friends and enemies is sarcasm. ----------------------- I would join TSA just to meet some interesting people and spam voice and text all over the place just to be annoying so you all have to mute me! I would join up to be a support marine you know helping out people by welding, providing ammo and not stealing their kills.
^^ That my friends and enemies is semi-sarcasm. ----------------------- Well i'm done here.
p.s. Woohoo for dotted lines! -----------------------
it's interesting to see, that most people don't really imaginize that some things are NOT like in the game, if this would be real <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
so there's no chat, no fragsteeling,no turretspam commanders or fool commanders. the TSA wouldn't send a bunch of idiots to clean out a ship. read the TSA manual and then you'll see what a frontiersmen needs to be to join the fighting group! =)

So if we ever get a real TSA, ask us again so we can deside on that and not the ingame one. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
that's because the topics 2nd line is "try to imaginize" this is pure fiction and maybe just as I suggested more for SiFi lovers or fanfiction readers <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
isn't there someone else who want's to be a squad leader or something?
what's goin' on with you?? the most reason I've heard here was "I don't wanna die" read the TSA manual and I asure you not to die for 90% ! TSA frontiersmen are the best of best!
I also liked the idea someone else had here, with the naval fleet of the TSA =)

i aint gonna join the TSA and round round with heavy guns and stuff. especially Ha. its gotta be real stuffy in there. and the HMG looks real big to lug around. i wld onli join the TSA if they REALLY needed the help and i dont have a job.
hmm if they'd have Heavy Armor it should be some kinda special unit or stuff. I don't think that "standard" frontiersmen are trained to operate in that suit oO
I love the idea that the frontiersmen are trained to fight with a small group of marines and less equipment. It's awesome that the soldiers can fight under such conditions

ok.. serious now. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> With a skilled team and commander, all well trained and all knowing what there doing I would not really mind I think. yet it would be kinda crap @ some point.
you join the TSA you get trained you are finished training you think you are done and can happily wait for a war, making money. you get send of to fight a war you are like... WTH? WAR?
Sometimes classifying the entire existance of a species aint to motivating.
I WONT join the troops. EXEPT: you leave your house a the first thing you see is an alien hive. know what I mean? no matter what, everyone should think about defending when ANY enemy starts attacking.
so... get in your armor and do your best to survive and kill the bad guys. but if there is no rescue at all: you still have your pistol. you also should be determined to sent a bullet through your brain BEFORE any creature can use you as instant meal. thats how the world works anyway. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yea, I would join. No bad comms, no bad teammates. These are the best trained troops in the world. These guys could eat up Spec Ops forces for lunch. I'm sure if rine teams were always coordinated, they would DOMINATE the Kharaa.
I want a JP/GL for mass skulk n gorge domination =)
BTW, two words. FRIENDLY FIRE Doesn't exist in the game, but IRL... GL spamming doesn't sound so good anymore.
ya but I can asure you that the dude with the gl won't be a rambo <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> And everybody around would be careful if he "cleans out" some chamber areas and stuff =)
oh man - you could've been trying to make your post longer than just 2 words. The TSA is a great transport oraganisation and I think they pay much salary! Especially to it's small military unit
Comments
But that wouldn't make for a very fun game, eh?
i would join as teh armoury/cc polisher
no dying then until teh CC gets rushed
then ill just hide behind the rest of you and steal your kills, oh yes i would <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"I don't care what we're doing, as long as I get to kill me something" -The guy in OPForce intro
F4!!!!
Theyre **** pwning aliens to save mankind, and they have a tight budget? i think NOT
have comm poised with beacon if anyone takes damage
in reality there won't be any
- worse commanders / newbee commanders
- newbee teammates
- readyroom (F4)
etc.!
