On the Tech Plant, that looks like a giant spawn pad on top, maybe for Galaxy's? I wonder what the inspiration is for the "horns" it looks like it has on it.

What is that marker on the bottom left corner of the tech plant?
"MAO TECH PLANT" - Mao, like Mao Ce Tung?
And those green "crates"-... F(?)- A-B-C-D-E... maybe the occupation of a specific area of the base? But the "C" is on the right side of the picture, outside of the base. Maybe mission markers?
Ideas?

Yup - I'm pretty sure the devs said there were no longer drop-ship centres anymore and that tech plants would instead spawn galaxies.

I think you're pretty close. My bet would be specific capture points (or hack terminals). Higby has mentioned that bases will have multiple capture points, so it looks like this particular tech plant has 6 objectives that need to be completed before you can claim it.
I'm fairly sure they also mentioned that various objectives would disable certain parts of the base, like unlocking blast doors further inside or powering down the outer shields.

Also note that the capture point icons in the pic above are green.
I'd say the Vanu symbol next to the base name means that they currently hold the base, and the green color notates either Vanu coloration (maybe red for TR and blue for NC) or it could just mean green = yours, red = theirs.
Green could also mean neutral.

IIRC they said at GDC (or in one of the interviews) that you only need to hold the majority of points to capture a base, not get all the points. They also said that there would be 3 inside the base, and 3 around the outside areas, so it won't flip until one faction holds 4/7.
Also those talking about no warpbubble, Arclegger said in IRC yesterday its only off because its unfinished, there will be a bubble again.

I don't give a flying bleep what they call it in Chinaside, but that had better not be the name of it in our version.

I doubt it because there's a Vanu symbol right next to the base name. There's no way that baby's neutral!

Okay, you're probably just trolling, but in case you were being serious: Mao is the region name, i.e. the sector of the continent that the tech plant resides in.

The scale of the tech plant is awesome. I just counted and there are 10 people in that screenshot, counting T-Ray. And it's so big you can't see any of them!
Wowser!

Agreed. I've mentioned before that I love the art direction the game is taking, and I'll say it again.
It's beautiful. Popping the blues out on the warpgate give it the sci fi feel it deserves. IMO similar things should be done with the bases during the daytime to emphasize that even more. Perhaps somewhat like the color ribbon that bases had to indicate who owned them?
The terrain palette in general also looks great and the contrast it makes with the greys/silvers/yellows of the bases palettes makes the bases look very outlandish, rugged and foreign on Auraxis. something that the original game missed.

exactly, there should be an empire specific colour on the base, blue, purple or red stripe, so it indicates which empire it belongs to

Mao is the name of the bastard China man that killed more people then Stalin and Hitler combined.

I tweeted TRay and Higs. Either they will respond or they will not.

You're a racist little prick, aren't you?
I assumed you didn't know much about history yourself since you didn't even spell Tse-tung's name right, but that's another discussion entirely. The point I was making is that Mao is just a region name in PS2, and has nothing to do with historical figures.
The fact that you're frantically tweeting the devs about it is more than a little ridiculous.

He is commonly referred too as Chairman Mao. Zedong or Tse-tung as his last name.

There is nothing "frantic" about asking a simple question and requesting a name change.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_(disambiguation)
There's a huge number of things Mao is relevant to, I have absolutely no issue with it and don't think it should be changed just because one evil person born in the late 1800s happened to have it as a surname, especially given that it's a very common surname.

Definitely should be renamed to Meow, would still keep the chinese happy and also appease the hello kitty carebears. It's a win-win.
If it's going to happen this is how its gunna go.
Guys keep on topic please. This isn't a history thread.
headcrab13
2012-04-23, 10:58 AM
Related to what Sheppy was saying about the tech plant looking busy, I have to agree (but in a good way). I really like how different its architecture is compared to the other base layouts. It looks heavily focused on vertical gameplay and fighting on the outside of the structure.
I expect to see some really cool defense setups with snipers attacking the exterior of the base, and engineers mining up the outside and upper decks in between constructing Mana turrets for extra firepower.
