New Continent System

[USdude]

I have been thinking that the continent system should be redone. I think a cool idea would be to have the continents interconnected by oceans who's maps would be the size of regular continent maps.

Oceans:
Would interconnect Continents and warp gates. you would exit a continent by leaving through the normal Out-Of-Bounds sides of the map. the oceans would either be laid out to transport people horizontally or vertically and you would only be able to leave through the appropriate side. Ocean maps would mean you would need to also implement boats which would be cool. an array of island would be littered throughout each ocean with strategic staging areas on the bigger ones. One highway bridge would run from island to island making it possible for convoys to move through. there are two spawning facilities on opposite ends in this world.

Warp Gates:
Warp gates would be removed from each continent and placed on three separate islands that are on three different points farthest away from each other on the equator. Each warp gate would belong to one faction and could not be taken over. Warp gates would technically not be warp gates anymore but oh well.

Spawning:
you could always spawn at warp gates. In order for you to spawn in a continent your faction would have to take over at least one the three of the Main Spawning Facilities that now replace the locations of the old warp gates. once you have your spawning facility captured you can start taking over territories like normal. Spawning facilities are elevated about 6meters of the ground with an defense walls like amp stations. there are three shielded entrances and each defense tower has one of each kind of turret. the main station design i will leave up to the Devs except that it should be centered around the high way bridge from the incoming ocean. (edit)If at least one spawning facility in a Continent/Ocean belongs to your faction then you can "warp" or re-spawn at that facility from the Warp gate island or other spawning facilities.

Moving from Continent to Ocean to Continent:
Moving form one Continent map to the an ocean map should be seamless what should happen is a little notification would pop up asking you if you really want to move to the next map or you can have a check box in general settings that makes it so it automatically moves you to the next map once your in correct edge of the old one. if you warp over in an air vehicle your speed and height should be remembered for when the next map loads. If your in ground or water vehicle your speed will be remembered. For all vehicles the Relative position to the boundaries of the map will be remembered ,for example your at coordinates 60 degrees west and the boundary your heading through is north of you then you will spawn on the correct side of the new map and at 60 degrees west.if you go Out-Of-Bounds you die. if a Continent/Ocean is full and your at the edge of the old map a Red Warning will pop up on your screen saying "Max Limit reached" it will also do that if your in a vehicle with more then one person and the map doesn't have enough room for everyone. If the Max Limit message lights up then you are given 15 secs to return to normal map before being destroyed.

Things that would have to be added:
Swimming - For troops to have a fair chance in the ocean.
Skycrane Galaxy Augmentation - To carry vehicles faster (Link not Yet Available)
Flash equivalent of boat - to have a fast small boat to get around on
Harasser equivalent of boat - to have a quick hit and run boat
Sundy equivalent of boat - so you can spawn while capping an island
Lighting equivalent of boat - NS gun boat for all factions
Faction specific boat - a boat that has whatever factions' properties

I'm still sketching pictures so those will be up and any other things i forgot will be added. Post any Questions and Comments. Opinions are very much welcome .
