The main problem with OBO is that there aren't enough bases to go around.

And there isnt much good things to come with Base owner ship contanents come and go so fast there is no real pint to haveing a base for maby 1 hour finnishing the cont and going somewhere else when you get back hacked and loss the base.

it would be better to pu tin alliances and then let alliances claim bases

CassH · 2004-10-03, 05:24 PM

sing to alliances

I've always looked at it and thought, "why?". One day the NC owns most of the world, the next the VS does. Whether you own a base or not, if your zerg is not there and the enemy zerg comes, you lose. I guess it might be ok if you claim a base that's being actively fought over by both sides, but there are only so many bases that qualify for such a condition, and it seems to me that the feature would be basically wasted in terms of time it took to impliment vs. actual use and effectiveness in-game.

Outfit Bases is pointless, Outfit Airships however...

where is sentrosi he has some pretty strong views on this....at least he did at one time, although there may have been alcohol involved

Outfit base ownership? Absolutely fugging pointless.

Why "claim" a base? What benefits are you going to get from it? Bragging rights? "OMG <insert outfit here> just took our capital! They are like the best or something blahblahblahblah." All that will do is promote intra empire outfit clashes and egos will be stomped upon. And bruising a CR5 who is all of 13 is like pulling on a guys nutsack just after he got kicked there, then giving his girlfriend a little loving right in front of him.

Look, put more time into fixing what needs fixing now. With BFRs coming out, devote all your energies to seeing that all the BFRs are balanced, as this is the one single reason why Aftershock is coming out. Planetsides entire rep is riding on this new rollout. If it flames, we're looking at another failed SOE game. If it does good, we get bigger battles. After the BFRs are balanced and all the memory leaks, STRIKER LOCK ON BUG, etc etc are fixed, and you have nothing else to 'fix', then look at base ownership.

Forget OBO period. Besides OTO would make more sense. Though I am personally a fan of Outfit Air Cruisers.

outfit cruisers would be fun, they'd have to be sorta big though. just imagine the 666th's (or any other large outfit for that matter) OAC.

I guess if every outfit had thier own base there wouldn't be much fighting going on.

I want an outfit aircraft carrier.

/sign for Planetside: Naval Combat (could lead to Planetside: Resort)! JK

if there was naval combat, it would be cool to have an aircraft carrier.

Anyways, outfit owned bases would be quite pointless, there are not enough benefits to them.
