OBO and Outfit Credits explained

[Ait'al]

ait your not logical so stfu. I like the Idea personally. i think it will give another reason for the NC to save continents.

If you had bothered readong pyro he was arguing that base ownership itself was going to make base defense impossible!!!! thats is not logical. It only adds your name to the base and gives you some defense help! Theres nothing being changed that makes anything differnet/more difficult about base defense than it is now. Thats why its not logical!

I htought u didnt have the game ait?

Well your opinions are somewhat logical, it wouldnt be any harder to hold a base than before.....it's too bad bases change hands atleast 2 times every day!!!!!!!

If it was possible to defend now, OBO would be a good idea, too bad its all but impossible ATM

Incentives
The longer the base is owned, the more capture experience enemies will gain from a successful capture of that base. Information about the length of time a facility has been claimed can be found on the Facility Information Pane (opened by double-clicking the facility on the overhead map).

So let me get this straight.

The Developers want me to take my outfit, and all whopping thirty active people, and claim a base so we can have a nifty recall point.

And we're supposed to do what? Provide XP fodder for a large enemy outfit? Yeah let me just help them out by providing an XP farm. Because that's my goal in Planetside, to level-up the competition.

So I can either take a base and then go run around and respawn there if I die and *HOPE* someone doesn't camp it and make some mad XP in its capture, or I can take a base and then go sit in a turret and play Homeland Defense, which effectively means I'm sitting in one spot praying the bad guys don't take away my new toy - which EFFECTIVELY means that I'm not out killing things, stealing things, or blowing things up. In other words, not having any fun, which is what I pay money for.

OR, alternatively, I can arrive at a dropship center and proceed to lay claim to it, only to find out an outfit with a serious penchant for TK decides they want it and happens to be standing there at the same time I am. Joy. They'll get 25 grief for waxing me, because the grief system is so finely-balanced.

This is a bigger liability than a free pie table at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.
