Shields in the Sanc.?

No, one really seems to notice, or maybe they do, but never say anything, but why doesn't the Sanctuary allow you to get shields? I mean its a freakin sanctuary. If you can recert and get implants at the sanc. you would think you could get shields. I just think that the sanc. should have all the benefits you would get if you had a locked continent and went to a base. IMO

What do you think?

I guess the same reason that there's no Adv. Medical terminal in the sanctuary

Hehe, thats gay too.......

I agree, Aen.

It makes sense to (at least) be getting shields on Your vehicles in the sanctuary.

4 things that are needed at Sanc:

1) Advanced Medical Terminals

2) Aircraft Repair/Rearm Pads

3) Vehicle Repair/Rearm Silos

4) Shield Generator

yea but the shields in bases have a tactical reason. Encourageing people to cap the bases.

I agree. Letting people charge their shields in sanc. would cause people to lose interest in capping tech plants and such. Not to mention a squad of tanks with full shields can rape quite a bit. The shield charger is suppose to be like a reward for your fighting.

I don't see an Amp Station in the Sanc, do you?

I dont see a damn bio lab either, but I can still recert and change implants.

The only time the shields (from the sanc.) will come into effect is when trying to retake over your home continents. Who is gonna drive a Magrider from the sanc. all the way to solsar? Besides if that was the case then we probably already have the home continents anyways. Having shields in the sanc. would actually make the battles last longer and we would in return have more fun, cause the as I said earlier the only bases in which people are gonna charge their shields for are the close ones by sanc WGs. And if thats the case then the NME already have the continent locked or near locked anyways and have all the facility benefits.

Besides that, my point was that I didn't understand why we wouldn't have shields in the sanc to begin with, it just doesn't make sense. So if someone could make a valid point against it, I would love to hear it.

My reason was valid

Yes however you forget that not all of us use planes.

There is enough of an advantage on home conts with the number of people/vehicles who can quickly come and rebuff the enemy. Shields would be too much. It's hard as hell to cap an enemy's home cont many days, shielded tanks pouring out of the WG would easily turn the tide of battle.

IMO... modules should be allowed to be installed in the sanc.. with a 5 - 12 hour period...
