PSU - Post NDA

[Airlift]

Base maps, so we can study at work

[Homicide]

I would really like to see guides on Tactics and such for different types of players such as pilots/medics/infiltraitors ect.....

Also I think It would be cool if ya'll could do somthing like www.camelotherald.com does for DAoC and have constantly updating base ,player , and outfit stats and such.

[Strijder]

Screenshot of the day might be cool. Not sure how much it'd jump your bandwidth usage if its thumbnail is on the homepage.

Possibly have a matchmaking service to allow outfits and individuals to hook up? I.e. individuals can check off the certs and give a brief self-description, and the outfits can search by skills / certs to fill slots they have open. Should be fairly simple to slap together in PHP / sql.

Movies aren't a priority here... I know how much bandwidth costs, and I'd hate to see intrusive popups or banners.

AGN sounds really cool. It'd be great to have a seperate window playing streaming newscasts. Ad's would be acceptable on the player window.

I think a user-based journal would be awesome. A place to post stories of war, and perhaps screenshots (or provide easy insertion of outside hosted files).

You're doing a magnificient job I have faith whatever you do will be awesome.

Id love Maps. Anything to help me get around bases would just be plain usefull. Right now the ingame maps can get annoying when there are 5 floors and you cant see the stupid flags. Stats of weapons and such would be nice, but that would have to be broken down by range(I.E. 5 m, 15m and 30m).

yeah I think the AGN will be awesome for drawing some of the attention off Cyssor hopefully. Some reporting of Ceryshen, might convince some people to go visit more interesting locales

Other things that would be cool at release would be forums for individual servers perhaps. Also, once the stat tracking starts, if they do it anything like DAOC all that juicy info can get ported to PSU which would be nice.

mmmm war reporting.
I have also always loved guides, engineer/medic/pilot/infantry or anything would be fun to read.
war reporting from hossin continent

[Omicron]

Pic of the day would be sweet.
I don't know if it is possible, or even worth the time, but an update of who is controlling what on the different servers updated regularly would be cool. Would be really cool if one of you uber code monkeys could write code to somehow update it self, dunno if that is realistic though.
Other than that, once things get to a point where they aren't nerfing/loving everything, give every little detail possible. This gun does this damage with this ammo, etc. etc.
I am sure you guys will do a good job no matter what ya do

About the stats page, like the Camelot Herald..

I think SOE has said in interviews and such that they plan to support XML stats (that's what the Herald uses) eventually. It might be a waste of energy for PSU to create such a complex system if SOE is going to supply it eventually anyway.

just my $0.02

Very detailed weapon info.
Instead of descriptions like;
Damage = high
ROF =medium"

something like
Damage = 40 soft targets, 10 hard targets
ROF = 300 rounds per minute

A description of how damage and armor work would be nice also.

[Sputty]

Wow...That would be hard. Most people don't spend their time looking at the info screen and testing each weapon against people, somehow killing them while look at the screen

[BladeRunner]

I think that could be accomplished quite easily if two people created characters on other empires and just found a remote location.

After all, it is beta... test... thing..

[Unknown]

Here's an idea I just thought up:
Take a few screenshots of important parts of the game, like the normal FPS view with all the icons, chat screens, etc., the map and weather screens, inventory terminal screens, etc. Then run them through an image slicer (PSP7 has this, I'm sure other programs do too, but you can even do it manually, just crop the each important part of the picture, then assemble them together again in HTML so the multiple images just look like one screenshot) and have the important parts of the image link you to a description of that item/hud. You see what I'm getting at here? I personally would love to know what all those icons mean/how to use them. Aww heck with it, I can just do it myself if my beta slot I won ever goes through...

Anyways, what many other people listed sounds good. Battle Journals (1 a week or more from the official site isn't enough ), perhaps even give each of your staff members a page for jotting down planetside stories at their liesure, or even recruit a few 'reporters'.

Won't know what other content to suggest until the game comes out as the Official site is supposed to have alot of stat tracking, current status reports, etc.

[BladeRunner]

Unknown your idea is pretty good but I think once you play you will understand why it might be a waste of time to have such a feature.

After only a few days you'll understand completely what all HUD items are, I predict

But I think your idea is still valid, it might be included in the "guide/strategy" section if someone chose to submit it.

I tried to get my hands on some maps, no dice (yet) we will see.

Right now the only way to get it is to take screens of the minmap and piece them all together.

PSU Rules

This is something I have always considered since day one of PSU, hopefully we can get something going
