Sunderer -> F.O.B.


With the demise of the venerable AMS and the Galaxy taking its place, the Sunderer has a chance to shine.

I believe it should be forged into a Deployable Forward Operating Base. It would act as an empire spawn, it would have equipment terminals, vehicle repair/rearm stations, airpads, a command tower with a sniper roost on the roof, and defensive weapons.

It would have walls that are destructible and an IFF access Door where the rear of the vehicle is.

A possible upgrade could be a bubble shield that works like the old BFR shield: Stops large weapons while it is up, but not small arms fire. Another potential upgrade is of course the old AMS cloak bubble, which would allow the spawn to be outfit locked (but not if it is the only spawn point).

Granted the FOB would attract a lot of attention, so it should also have the old router ability but with a few alterations:

When the Routing System is online, the FOB will teleport grunts and MAXes 500 meters directly in front of the FOB on the ground. Walls and shields will block this effect however, so it won't let you put troops directly inside a base.

The Defense Weapons should probably be like the Lightning's, with moderate AV and AI ability, with the option of AA upgrades. Perhaps even empire specific upgrades later on.
