OBS - Outfit Battle Stations

JLeeAZN · 2003-06-23, 10:21 PM

I thought of a good idea to put into the game of Planetside. It would be the OBS - Outfit Battle Station or sumthin like that.

It would be an AMS, that only Outmit members of one Outfir could respawn at. This could also be the beginning to Outfit battles, and would be the beginning to group Outfit attacks. These things would be driving motherships, and could only deploy outside a SOI.

- An outfit could only be able to drive one OBS at a time
- Currently the map gives you the closest tower, ams, and base to your death that you can respawn at, now, PS will give you those plus your OBS, and you can respawn at the OBS from anywhere on the server
- You can recall to your OBS
- The OBS would be 2 passenger - 1 Driving - 1 Gunning
- The Driver may only be CR4 or CR5
- OBS is stealth to enemy radars, but is not hidden in a cloaked thing like the AMS amking it vulnerable
- You may only purchase a OBS from your empire Sanc.
- You may only purchase an OBS once every 5 hours
- The OBS will be heavily armored due to its lack of speed, lack of guns, and lack of stealth
- The OBS will be able to fly, but can only be used when landed
- Aircraft can not be purchased at the OBS, and neither can Vehicles, only infantry and MAX's may be equipped.
- The respawn room will only contain 1 respawn room and 1 equip term, so if you not an idiot, you should have favorites, so you can just jump out and go, the 1 tube, 1 terminal thing will really help for the space, so the OBS won't be too big.
- Your empire may only have 15 OBS's at one time, and only 4 on a continent

More thought will be coming shortly - please reply to this telling me your thoughs and suggestions! Also think of good names that this thing could be called. I don't think this idea would go through, but it would be pretty fun.

Even if it doesnt go thru ideas are always good to talk about

How about the Cert cost? 3? 4?

can anyone ride in it while its moving (in the rooms?)

While I support ideas in support of outfits and outfit based conflicts, I think that your idea is a little off the wall. If implemented, they would be the single biggest targets for any yahoo with a gun bigger than an AR. Definitely prone to orbital strikes and the like. I don't think they would be very viable.

Now, an outfit lock for AMS units, that would be a good start.

i dont reckon it should have a cert cost, just limit its purchase to higher BR like JLeeAZN said

No, I said that there was 1 Driver and 1 Gunner
- The Driver must be CR4 or CR5 and the gunner can be anything
- Also you can drive this thing in reinforced

Cert cost? - Should there be one? Or should it be like the ANT... and only a CR4 or a CR5 may purchse one.. is that enough, if not it should be about 5000 Outfit Points

they should just have outfit battlefields that only up to 3 teams of outfits from any empire can go in so you could fight another outfit without any interference. I should be in a "training" kinda place you could also fight outfits of your own empire but you cna only team up with your own empire to fight other empires.

I think it would be fun and you could have tournys and such. Cal might even come to PS
