The Stronghold v.2.0

Figment · 2013-02-27, 05:17 AM

What do you guys think of the current Stronghold design?

Changes that are especially interesting to note are the tunnel and indoor CC and also interesting is the AA roofing and obstructions around the spawnroom's ground floor exits.

But of course in general the elevated platform is of importance, as is the fact you can easily place an AMS overhead on top of the cliff when assaulting from the south.

Another thing to look at is the force fielded vehicle bay (force field remains operative continuously and can only be entered and exited by the owner of the facility, even though people can take over and use the vehicle pad).

What i would like to see is some kind of protective forcefield that covers each base. To protect from Arial assault. That quickly lock down any fun Infantry combat.

Yeh that's similar to what i was thinking. If the stronghold had a non-spammable roof over it even, it would make for a great infantry only base.

So long a generator was feeding force field, in order to give another thing for players to worry about would be very nice as well.

I like the Stronghold. I wouldn't like it all bases were like it. The unique bases are fun.

Stronghold is in the perfect spot too so that the rock formations could go over it completely. It would look like a base carved into the canyons with a high ceiling.

Guys, on topic please. Current design before we move on to improvements.

Because before you can discuss improvements, you need to know how the current systems are flawed or underperforming and what the causes are. By suggesting a dome, you hint at aircraft issues, but be a bit more precise please.

I like the current design of the Stronghold. I wish we had some more of them scattered through out the continents. TBH, I feel that the guys manning the walls need some cover similar to the towers to help protect from the air. I also wouldn't mind seeing a force field as mentioned above.

I really love the stronghold when I get a chance to fight there. It's totally Starship Troopers.

I love the stronghold. The tunnel is a great addition, it could be more effective in a practical sense but, meh. One of my favourite areas in the game, definitely has character. Rare for Indar.

Alright, so there are some improvements possible on the tunnel (couldn't agree more

). What would those be?

(For the record peops, it currently is a 100m -or more- straight U shaped tunnel from one side to the other side of the base, mainly consisting of a 3.5m wide straight line corridor with a total of five crates).
