Capitol buildings have gone live! - Page 3

Best patch ever. The broadcast warpgates make continent locks more valuable, battles easier to get to, and create a frontline between continents. The general Core Combat changes are great, particularly the longer mod times and *particularly* the cavern lock benefits. Cavern control has a new, special signifigance. The Capitol, in addition to it's warpgate benefits, contribute a great center of power on a continent, and a safe place to mount an attack from. The Sub-capitol system is great, and the numbers needed to take down the force dome and to actually hack are just great. The CC ammo boxes make them viable weapons now, and they're easier to get with more frequent cavern locks.

The only think I want to see added is the capitol being a new spawn catigory. As long as your empire controls it, you should be able to spawn there from anywhere on the continent without having to bind. This would be good if the hostile empires are beginning to overtake bases attached to the warpgate. Have a CR send out a global for people to broadcast to the continent. Those people deconstruct at the nearest tower, right to the capitol and a counterattack is launched.

Woah this certainly wins the Good Suggestion Of The Day (TM) award

You have to be careful that the benefits aren't going to be too powerful though. Attackers do need to have a decent chance.

All I can say is that the battles have been very intense and fun the last few nights. I've seen a lot more battles taking place outside the bases and there has been an increase in special ops. I like that because I'm usually sitting back on defense and I've been very busy lately defending against some very organized squads. The challenge has just gone up.

damn straight, home continents were trash.

and yes, my hour of fun this afternoon consisted of some of the beset open field and base combat i've come across in PS yet. i'm thrilled.

Do the capital buildings look like anything in particular, or do they closely resemble normal bases?

Uhm they aren't changed at all, it's just a regular base which is labeled capital.

Have you noticed though that most (not all) continents being taken and held ARE the old home conts. Ish and Cery are often red, Oshur and Easmir are usually purple.........
The conts are constantly changing, but empires still seem to be fighting for the same conts they always did.
