Hence why I opted to keep my IPS monitor .

my first thought is,,,, deployable?????? built to last!!!!

More cryptic hints as to player-spawned towers. I like.

I'm gonna say not spawned - I'm guessing the towers are in fixed locations because to have them just plonked down in the world could lead to all manner of weirdness. Either that or there are specific 'plots' in which a tower can go, rather than just freely placed anywhere.

I assume empires just get to upgrade them; presumably with resources - and when you capture one, it loses some or all of its upgrades...?

i was under the impression that only deployables can be damaged.otherwise were gonna be fighting over rubble. lol. hints built to last

Those icons are clearly terminals. The gun ones are equip terms, the tank ones are vehicles terms, and the plane ones are air terms.

Actually, even though it could be considered "dumbed down" I really like that they have icons for seeing where terminals are. In PS1 a new player could easily get discouraged just trying to find where the heck to get their guns and wheels.

Upgradeable is what I'm hoping for. Fixed locations are okay, so long as empires can sink resources into strategically important ones to improve them in custom ways.

You had the same thought I did. I wonder if this is a forward base or if this is a fixed tower?

I see ya, but. Would have thought they'd apply the "trade-off" logic here too - you can have some, but nit all upgrades? If you go ani air, you lose anti vehicle? Etc?

Who gets to decide what goes on and where? Anyone with enough resource? Outfit leaders?

[waldizzo]

Looks like towers have multiple capture points as well.

[Immigrant]

Great looking tower! Something is amiss though.

That's it!



It looks much better now!

When can I move in? I already have some nice throw pillows and incense to layout for my sexy parties.

[Zulthus]

I hope we can turn those icons off in the options. They'd get annoying after a while. Didn't really care for them in Tribes Ascend tbh.

On the other hand, that tower looks AMAZING.

[NCLynx]

That looks like it's going to be so damn fun to fight on/for/etc

I feel like when PS2 finally does open up, and I can play it, I'm going to need to ramp up what I do slowly or else I'll have a Planetside overload.

Very interested in the player spawned tower system...

Looks very different to their original designed tower with feet.

Perhaps the tower is alway there, and the modular parts are the player owned (additions). I.E. capd the tower, additional enemy modules dissapear and must be repurchased by the new owners using resources.
