Outfit Bases

[Zumthor]

There is a very interesting thread over on the official planetside forum:
"Garages, apartments, personal houses.. not to much sense, since they do nothing. Outfit bases though..
Most would disagree with it right off yeah but why not throw in perks for the outfit bases. Say by size of the outfit or # of kills or maybe putting in a system where players of an outfit could donate a % of the BEP's they get on the field to getting or "upgrading" their base? Upgrades could be..

- Increased # of turrets/upgraded turret power/tracking.
- Their own respawning machines.
- Increased base size(more on this below..).
- Weapon deployers(whatever ya get weapons/vecs from).
- Anti-hacking tech in base, making it exteremely difficult for a un-certed/basic hacker to mess things up.

And whatever else there may be that we don't know about. As for the base size, of course outfits would have to save the BEP's or get the right # of people to get a basic base, but they could save it and get one better instead. Maybe have it setup so that if they go for the basic base, few turrets, little room(not enough for all the goodies just one or two), they could upgrade to the next level if they save up the difference in "price". Bigger the base, the more possible defense and goodies. The outfit leader would be the only one allowed to do anything to the base or he could allow people of a certain rank in the outfit access to changing up the base as well.

With the BEP donating system in place it would really motivate people to get very organized and take it to their enemies. Also being able to spawn at your base and run into your outfit buddies as they're logging in or respawning is great too, it gives players an easy way to make squads. Also the ones that decide what the base gets and such could set it up so that other players could use the respawning points, players of certain levels, everyone or simply keep it to themselves."

I think it is a cool idea. How about the rest of you?
