Big Question...

Okay, here is a situation:

Me and my squad take a MPB (Moble Point Base) truck, and drive off into some empty mountain, and make a base.

From there, we create all these things, and got us quite the little shack..

Now say we log off for the night, when we come on the next morning, will our base be gone? Not by being destroyed, but just dissapear?

I think the answer is Yes it would dissapear but what do I know I am still just a recruit.....

WAIT, NO I AM NOT!!

SO yes I think I am right! BWAHAHAHAHAHA

I believe when you logout your AMS goes kaput.

not positive on this tho.

Navaron · 2003-01-11, 01:55 PM

probably unless someone else takes it over for you when you leave.

Warborn · 2003-01-11, 02:11 PM

It'd disappear after a while, if not once you log. Otherwise there'd be a lot of unnecessary clutter around the gameworld.

�io · 2003-01-11, 02:23 PM

Yeah i'd assume it stays for a set amount of time after you log out but not forever.

Sputty · 2003-01-11, 02:24 PM

After vehicles are destroyed does the destroyed vehicle stay in the world for ayn amount of time or does it just explode the disappear?

CDaws · 2003-01-11, 02:45 PM

They probably sit there and smoke for a bit then disappear.

Camping Carl · 2003-01-11, 02:51 PM

They are "dissasembled' when you log out.

Moloch · 2003-01-11, 03:15 PM

will busted vehicles stay as charred hulks that can be used as cover, or do they magically go poof? Tank corpses could be useful in base assault or defense.

Duritz · 2003-01-11, 03:24 PM

Well, they have to disappear for two basic reasons.

1. If they didn't there would be too many vehicles and they would eventually crowd the landscape.

2. The amount of information in tracking where those vehicles are would lag the servers.

Stalefish · 2003-01-11, 03:32 PM

I'd think that they'd only disappear if they're unused, because then if the player that spawned it took one out and set it up and was leading a massive attack on some base, and then needed to log off, where would the rest of his squad be? If people still use them they should stay there, dammit, I don't want to be stuck without a refueling station a mile away from an enemy base and 300 away from mine. =P

Warborn · 2003-01-11, 03:49 PM

I'm sure they'll stay for a few minutes. But, if you have to log out, get someone to hold your vehicle for you so that it doesn't go away.
