Hi,
as I am not able to post within the official planetside forum as I�m not a customer, it would be great if someone could copy my posting here and paste it into the official one?
I don�t know whether it is hard to implement. Looking at the "new outpost" thread it seems that some old developer who vanished from Sony were able to use some "tools" for expanding planetside.
Ok, coming to my idea. You propably all know Starship Troopers.
And now you all know what I want: Bugs So a kind of NPC characters, that are from time to time the continents. What kind of bugs do I want:
- the ususal "small" bug, fast and deadly == soldiers
- some bigger bugs == vehicles
- some real brain bugs, which produce the small bugs
- flying bugs
Make them a little silly. I you shot them, they will attack you,
if you don�t they probably attack you too.
So what�s the role of bugs within planetside:
Well, they attack outposts, suck the energy out, destroy the generator and hide there. If they have energy, the brain bug there can produce more small bugs, and from time to time bigger ones and another brain bug.
Of course you could use bugs for your own interests, so you could lead them to an enemy base to let them make your work, but perhaps sometimes they don�t let fool themself ?
Well I�m dreaming of base battles where hundreds of bugs try to get into the base :D
