Player Owned bases are coming. Thoughts?

[Stardouser]

The "empty continent" part is equally interesting...

[Accuser]

Not particularly exciting... but we'll have to see what they can do with it.
Maybe they'll have micro-continents that just feature a single, outfit-owned base with a warpgate nearby.

Still, I don't see how they'll make it work. Can another outfit take over my outfit's base? Could my outfit just build another one instantly?

We'll see, but it seems a lot less fun than full-scale war on the real continents.

Or they could be full size continents where Outfits claim a hex/s and build a base.

EVE style it would require lots of resources from the pool of Outfit members to complete.

Think of a "player housing" continent, but with resources and conquerable Outfit bases.

Think of expansion! One day you might be able to take over the whole continent!

Think of an Amp Station with your custom designed Outfit logo flapping in the wind from every tower, rampart, and window!

*squeals with delight*

They've been hinting at this for a while. I'm guessing it'll be at least a year before we see this though.

Yes indeed. I'm not going to hold my breath on this one.

I would love it if they gave us an empty continent, then let us slowly build up structures on it that can never be destroyed but rather only modified slightly. Slowly but surely over the years it would become a massive city continent.

Epic Idea. +1 internets

I can imagine tons of outposts and stuff wall to wall all just jutting up into the sky, with cowpath like roads that developed organically or a whoel district of air support towers. Idk. I can dream

[Deadmonkey]

Then people cap your Player base D:
This would be a great Way to Generate Money for SOE. I mean, Think of the possibilities!
Wall colors costing money, texture, Turrets, AA guns, Terminals, Warp Gates to Continents. Like. Woah.

Hey, they not getting their $12 a month or however it is, like in original, f2p requires alternative income thinking. I personally don't mind this one bit from what little i know of it, if implemented right it probably be a nice yet not unfair boost.

Even if they were mini-continents, they would still fight on the main lands, because that is where the resources are.

It would be cool to have, as well as being a massive money sink for SOE to delicious over :P

[AzureWatcher]

This is glorious. Can't wait. I love sandbox elements in games and this is just... this is just great. I think I'll go cry tears of joy now.

Its Player Bases, Thats the tweet, But outfits wars? Nothing like Drama-Supported Features
