Yeah I do agree the continent reset should never happen to keep the persistent world.
Having off-shore platforms with bridge would be awesome though. To be able to hold the shore off against enemy respawn (especially at night) would be amazing to see. Also it gives factions that chance to lose their footing on the continent. This applies to all factions of course and gives everyone an equal footing on the continent. Also because of the distance there should be a discount on vehicles spawned from there to balance out the fact you've lost resource points on the continent.
