Hmmm guess the Dev's really hate the idea of defense

[Doppler]

The defending Empire cannot retrieve a dropped Module that is still active. Instead, they must guard its location until the Module�s lifespan runs out. The effective defense pursuing a moving Module will want to identify and set up forces at any chokepoints that may exist or organize ambushes on the Module carrier. The effective offense will set up a convoy to escort the Module carrier to their destination and send out advance forces to deal with roadblocks set up by the defenders.

Ok so now lets take the cap point ouf of a fortified structure with a backdoor. And if IF the defenders manage to kill the flag hauler they have to defend it ON OPEN GROUND until it despawns.

Seriously the dev's must hate the concept of people defending a base, they must enjoy continent turnovers every two minuetes, maybe because they think this promotes "dynamic content" or saves them having to worry about anyone ever getting in the position where they could conceivably sanc strike.

Before I was skeptical now Im just intesely cynical because already it's hard enough to defend/rehack bases, and the only reward given is for crappy defense (having to rehack) this just makes it worse.

Wonderfull dev's wonderfull, how about you drop this stupid idea and go back to work on the loadstar.

Hamma will you please start locking these threads???!!!

Admit it Bismark you'd just like to kick my puppy, besides this particular sub issue wasnt covered in the other threads.

[Revolver]

Bismarck, quiet.
This is an important issue that, as he said, wasn't mentioned before.

[Bismarck]

Ugh, what happened to the post reply button? It's not like this is new. It's not news or anything just an opinion.

And BTW, when you sit around something and gaurd it, it's called defending. You're just looking for things to dog the community with.

Just because it may not be "base defending" doesn't mean it's not defending.

In the time i've been on this board (not nearly as long as some Ill be the first to admit) I think I've seen a grand total of 1 post locked, and honestly it's been so long that I've forgotten why. You seem to overlook the fact that this is a message board, some of us come here to post messages about a game we enjoy and want to succeed and continue to be enjoyable. A territary function is for trolls like you to show up, I dont like it, but the only action Ill really take against it is deal out my own brand of cynacism everytime you come on my proverbial lawn.

In other news, what whould people suggest as bonuses to base defense should they implement this plan. I personaly rather then seeing them spawn the "Flag" in some random place, have it spawn behind a series of locked doors in some kind of safe. Or perhaps the forcefield idea could be implemented for bases on a latice linked to an amp station, that whould make amp stations mucho coveted.

PS. Bis, thanks so much for posting here, a more rational discussion thread might hav esliped to page 2 hours ago.

bismark .. do u know how hard it is going to be to "defend" a modual in the open field (this was mentioned in the other thread) Its ganna be close to imposible

[Aegis]

Well i like the new LLU idea, it'll give my Vanguard something else to do other than hunting AMSs and spamming bases and towers. In some of the snow continents it should be very easy to set up ambushes. Ceryshan bridges spring to mind. A boomer in the right spot....

[Doppler]

I just dont think it's very defensive when you have to chase someone down, granted the old ssystem wasnt perfect either but I felt there were better ways to make taking bases more intresting/exciting.

[Sandman]

Say, lets make all those pesky whining PS players guard something out in the open so a mag can come though and kill them in one go, or so a reaver can swoop down spamming missles. Those PS players will so busy bitching about that we can put in a few stealth nerfs!

[Seer]

It -will- be impossible to defend this thing if you can't return it to base immediately. It's hard enough to stop people from capping the flag in CTF, where you can return it instantly.

In fact, all it would take to spoil an open-terrain defense, to the extent that one can be mounted now, is two guys in a liberator. Don't tell me to shoot them down with a skyguard, because yeah, that's going to be easy to keep alive in a fixed, open position.

Jeez, this solution sounds inelegant, is all.

[Milenko]

I personaly hate the idea. It does nothing for me in making the game funner. I never knew those people at the base were defending it though, the 100 people who stick around for a base are just tryign to get hack exp and that is soooo boring to me.
