Nanite Systems Modular Outpost Tower

[Canaris]

Me likey just a small point banners on the tower itself could be a little bigger, I like big banners

[DviddLeff]

So a single tower is the same size as a PS facility, has 4 air terminals, 2 equipment terminals, 2 ground vehicle terminals and 3 capture points.

Bloody hell I'm excited!

[Attackmack]

Is this a "typical" tower? Does this mean vehicles can be spawned everywhere?
Thats...not very exciting :/

Nothing better then fighting desperetly waiting for the tanks and air support to arrive!

[Ceska]

I still hope there will be some kind of tower ownership for outfit (à la Star Wars Galaxy), with outfit choosing the modular configurations.
That would be really awesome.

[SixShooter]

This thing looks pretty awesome. I can't wait to see it in the midst of battle.

[The Barn Cat]

Oh my god the only thing i am going to see when i look at those is that damn serving robot i hope they change it so its not a face anymore

Don't forget that this "tower" is the size of a base in PS1. Bases are that much larger.

For all we know, there may be spawn points in some small bunkers and other structures, making them PS2's equivalent of PS1's towers.

So as long as they are well spaced and well thought out, I doubt this will be too large a change. The much larger bases will be a bigger change.

I kind of doubt that we'll have one of these towers sitting right near every base either. My guess is that structures such as these towers will be what controls some of those smaller hex clusters that aren't dominated by a base.

[Sabot]

Nah... that's the whole point with the hex system. So battles are fought across all terrain, not just at towers and bases. What the actuall cappable point of those small, desolate hexes are... well, they said bunkers or small camps or whatever.. maybe just a hill or something. Point is, structures like that are not located on every hex.

haven't read through the thread, but is this the first time we've seen a night shot with stars in the sky? Maybe I've just never noticed them before.

[Baneblade]

I get the feeling that the old Flip and Forget method of warfare is being targeted center mass in PS2.

[NCLynx]

I hope all the towers are this happy.

I'd like to see this fixed. Like in ps1 where if u wanted to pull a galaxy you had to capture/travel to the nearest dropship center.

How did Bob Ross end up on the dev team??? It starts with happy towers and before you know it there will be happy trees and clouds everywhere you look!

[kaffis]

I think you guys are missing the most obvious answer to the question "what does modular mean?"

Modular clearly means that towers are built out of multiple, transforming/nanite-reconfigurable Sunderers. Drive near a Tower foundation, and you get the option to deploy it as a Vehicle Pad, Air Pad, or Equipment Terminal...

In the latest dev interview, they confirmed that the more girls you invite to the party, the bigger the tower's smile gets. Interesting tidbit of info.
