Yes indeed! The vision is extraordinary!

Hehe, nuff joshing though, I do realize that we dont have a whole lot ot go off of and nit picking ever SS is what we got, but a little more extrapolation would be nice

For instance, why didnt higby opt for the red dot sight?

Can you prove that's where Higby took the screenshot from?

Some structure" hmmm

They're solar panels, it's just a pic of a base and the surrounding terrain. Perhaps there will be more in the SOI of a base that can be destroyed to disable the defences. Maybe taking out all the solar panels will have an effect.

The solar panels aren't facing the sun!!! either there's two suns or the VS have invented backwards solar panels!

lets read into it moar!!!

They do look like solar panels, BUT:

1) This is the far future. No reason solar panels have to look anything like solar panels. And why use solar when you have FUSION! Eye dropper vs fire hose.

2) Could be Something Else... a comm array or shield projector? Hell, it could be some ground-to-orbit energy weapon. Hey...

NTU rebroadcaster! Lets bases that both have their NTU arrays up share/load balance. Important target in a siege situation. And it looks pretty exposed.

It could even be it's only little capturable facility.

If you zoom way the hell in, you can make out one of those 3-teir crenelations on the base wall.

I wonder if that tall platform is a great big dish pointed straight up, or a landing pad. It's hard to be sure which, but I'm leaning towards "big dish" at the moment.

"Some sort of structure" = Radar for tracking ground and air units, this can be taken down to leave the defense empire blind before assaulting the main base.

"Main Base" = Structure closest to the "radar" is the com link station, this helps the main base with its defensive links to other bases, ex. would be bennies thaty we see in PS1, maybe we could destroy this to lower main base shields for example.

"main base" = well...the main base.

Just speculating.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it might be PlanetSide 2 on this here screenshot...

SgtMAD · 2011-10-05, 02:06 PM

you completely missed the gunman on the grassy knoll

Graywolves · 2011-10-05, 02:56 PM

I don't think that pointy structure next to "some sort of structure" on top of that cliff is part of the main base.

One of the things I'm curious about is if these small spread out structures serve a purpose. Taking it offers radar or a spawn point, maybe they're where the resources are gathered?

What could Higby be standing on? Is he at a base himself or a tower or a bunker or just some structure?

The intradesting pic made me waffle.
