I think the situation right now is pretty good. I'm curious to see how it ends and such.

A little bit of a concern is that the only useful skills as of late have been combat related. I think things have become very militaristic, when we were expecting a wider variety of things. The battle suits kind of hammer this point home.
Things have also been kind of linear. I'd like to be able to address problems in a variety of ways, and we'd need to think up those ways.

This is only an idea, but an idea for a mission I'd like would be something like: Go out of the stronghold with a general object (retrieve something, rescue people maybe), and we go about that objective however we decide (maybe with some basic guidelines though). You might give us some stuff to work with (a car, some guns, misc. supplies), but not a shit ton (these power suits, lots of NPC helpers). We might need to take up shelter somewhere, fortify it, think of how to handle the zombies (ideal route).

Stuff like that, if it gives you any idea. This may only be my preference.

I remember an RPG very similar to this (zombie apocalypse). Something that I really liked about it was that we were given a very mediocre starting base camp (mini-mart, which had some food and basic fortifications) to start, and it was up to us and our creativity to make it a better place. OR, we had to find a better place in the city (cities I think provide more opportunity). The GM was pretty loose (very free form), so doing something like finding some dumpsters to fortify the doors wasn't much trouble at all (we did that).
We also needed to go out and find stuff, like food, weapons, etc. We had to risk the zombies each time.
There was also so cooperation and splitting up (some people go to hardware store while others fix up base camp), granted the RPG had a lot of people, and we don't have a ton here. On the idea of splitting up though, it let people do whatever they wanted to some degree.

If you would dare to go over to Minegarde, here is a link to the RPG. Link.

I know that RPG had a very different set up than what we've got now, but consider it food for though.
I also know now is a very hard time for transition (or rebooting), which is fine.

I might change characters when the time comes. I like Jake as a character, but playing the idiot is hard for me. :-P
This is more my fault than anything. He's good for combat situations such as these though, so I'm perfectly fine with him for now.

I think I've had a good amount of opportunity to roleplay, but I'm not sure how well off the other's have been. I think this ties back to the militaristic vs wider variety thing.

I like the story it has a good feel to it and it makes you want to find out what happens next. I feel a little lost in the setting. I am not familiar at all with military surrounding and workings and such. I feel like I am not a very good contributer as I have no knowledge with these things and am not very helpful as a character as such. But I think that your imagination is great and that you are doing a good job. I am sorry that I am not.
