If i could redo bases with my will alone.

I dont buy the "try it as TR" bit, considering i'm NC and i have a vastly difrent opinion. Yes i will conclude that cont break ins can be fairly easy to defend if you can catch the forces before they get a toe hold, but as soon as they have a place to produce vehicles its sheerly a numbers game.

[Eldanesh]

Imo, numbers make a big difference beyond the first base, however even a 10-20% advantage can be stopped if they dont have tech, and often times a 50%-50% fight results in the attackers being stuffed back into their toehold base regardless of tech or not.

What it really comes down to is defenders reaction times, ie how soon cr5's act to recall a losing fight to defend and prempt a long, drawn out battle.

If i wer to change bases around, i would change it just so the defenses relate to the base. As if it was a Tech Plant, the turrets would fire harder than on a normal base. Dropshit center, maybe a few flak turrets. You see where i'm going. But then if its like that base that gives vehicles shields (heh i forgot) it would up the armor on the soldiers when they spawn from it.


But then i think everything is fine with the game, defense doesn't matter, you can hold off a base jsut by standing at a chokepoint. Its like standing on a hill and watching people come out of 1 ship, do you have to aim, NO! just shoot towards the ship, you'll hit something.

Defense as it is it pretty much fine I think. A flak cannon addition would be nice, even if it was just a single battery and only on certain bases.

Though, I think the suicide hacker that continually bail from burning skeeters and rush into the CC to try a hack is a pain. Most of them never make it, but the sneakiest do pretty well. Most people hate to stand in the CC when a huge battle is raging so many times the CC is unguarded.

I hate spending 20 minutes placing mines and spits all over the place only to loose the base to a suicidal skeeter pilot with adv hack.

Also, people never park AMS in the courtyards during sieges any more. Whats up with that?

THink that might be due to the proliferation of liberators and Orb strikes Zjinn
