RvFlyer,
You missed the point. Beta is testing, not gaming. If it were gaming I am pretty certain those settings along with the capturable strat radar vbases would be set up differently.
You CAN have fun and enjoy the features of the game, but what we hope to do is catch bugs to report while engaging in some fun.
It is easy to get that confused with the way that potential "testers" group and act as if they are trying to win the war, taking undefended territory and such....
In the early days of alpha as soon as we were actually able to fly and capture bases, I would capture a number of bases and then change countries and capture them back, so that the next players entering the arena would have the same opportunities to test fields as I did. I don't expect everyone to follow that sort of example but the other extreme does annoy me at times.
