.move to nearest friendly field after base capture
« on: July 20, 2008, 09:22:19 AM »
up from a base, base gets captured, get shot down, sit in tower at a base 300 miles from the fight...

seems pretty obvious to me that if the base is captured you should tower into the nearest friendly base, not some unrelated base the other side of the map.

Good idea! by default you go to the Lowest number base.
I got bumped once, and I guess I just never made note of it, but I actually forgot were I was. I couldn't return to the fight, it was on Titanic Tues.

I like the idea.  When defending a base and the cause is lost via death or retreat, the nearest base makes the most logical sense.

No issues with spawning at the lowest number base on game start up, that is fine.
