As a reminder about "sizes" - we don't have sanctuaries anymore. A lot of organizing tanks, buses, etc. is going to be done in the bases themselves, not at a sanctuary prior to rushing a continent. We'll need the space for that sort of organization.

Also, this will allow people to fight on the walls, then be pushed back to fight on the building proper as the courtyard is expansive. I'm guessing you could breach it somewhere and go under ground, but maybe there won't be doors from outside - only inside the walls will you have access to the tunnels and such, making it more difficult than rushing the vent shaft of the Death Star- I mean the backdoor of the facility.

And if there are orbitals, it won't complete decimate the entire courtyard like it does now. It'll blow a big chunk of invaders away, sure, but there would be survivors still inside your base.

Same size with PS1's base? What are you talking about man?

Devs have repeatedly said that the towers and bases are going to be much bigger in PS2. It doesn't even need a quote.
(and that small, blurry figure is definitely not a rock form my observation)

Fine it's a character, really sucks that mosquito's will be able to fly in those giant ass wall windows, seams really pointless to have them if they can. I worry for this game if the landscape and rest of the world appears that large to players.

OS's don't cover a CY in their present iteration. I'm hoping they don't scale up the OS... but on the other hand, it would be funny to see everyone in an SOI destroyed, say, once a month. In fact, that would make great HD screen capture.

Since when could Mosquitoes, or lodestars, for that matter, NOT fly through the gates on our bases? I mean, if the gate itself wasn't blocked with something else.

I've seen it happen at Voltan during a red alert when the shield went up.
