V Base captures
« on: April 11, 2008, 04:06:46 PM »
Fellow addicts,

First off I'm not sure if this has been brought up before in the past.      Really don't want to have to wade through the 1000's of threads to look either.


How many times have you seen an enemy tank camping the main spawn hangar at a V base?  Many times I'm quite sure.    How many times have you seen troops running or a M3 blazing on the base and the main hangar is camped?  You can't up a GV because as soon as you do you get killed.      Lets say for instance all 3 hangars are up,all your ack guns are down and the main hangar is camped and you see a M3 heading for your maproom.    Wouldn't it be nice if you could pick what VH you could spawn from?   Obviously you would spawn from the maproom VH to cover the maproom with the enemy M3 heading for it.     You could also up from the VH across from the main hangar as well.


This is just an idea I have been thinking of for some time.         Lately Knights are losing bases fast and furious and I think this may help slow down the land grab game and actually make it a tad bit more hard  to capture GV bases.

I like this idea alot, but I think it belongs in the wishlist forum. Great idea though especially on the bases that have only one spwan into them and that is where the enemy is coming from.

Not a bad idea, it works for all sides.

Good idea  :aok

seeing a VH camped waiting for a M-3 to get there is part of the game.
but seeing a lone score horder making kills just to pad there rank this would be a good idea,   maby spawn from 2 of the 3 hangers would be a deterrent for those people.

I always thought a random spawn inside the bounderies of base itself would be nice. That way they can't camp the base well at all because you never know where your going to spawn at.

Some kind of random spawn would be fun for both sides, and be it just randomly spawning in any of the three VH's

i think hies saying to spawn up anywhere on the VB grounds not the hangers.   (like out at a spawn point being random)

id say that fun would be one sided only,it would be nice to spawn up behind a GV on a base and get in the first shots and kills,  but if just a few guys in tanks and M-3 try to take a VB it would be most difficult with tanks popping up all over the base.  i wouldnt even try with 3 or 4 people in GV's if it were that way.

but your idea would be good too Lusche, a random spawn from any of the 3 hangers,  but maby with alittle twist to it,  if the hanger is down you cant spawn from that one anymore.

I perfectly understood that. I was giving just another alternative.

 i hope this gets to the wish list!
 but i think only up in the hangers, choose which one you want and it has to be up!
 it could still then be camped but not by one person unless the other two were down!

i would have to say that Lusche's idea of a random spawn from the 3 hangers is a good idea,  and HTC might have an easy way to add that to the game.

YES! IF we were able to pick which hanger, though, wouldn't it be smart to move the VH a little farther away from the maproom? Randomized spawn is the best, though.
