Title: Base Town status
Post by: Airscrew on March 17, 2006, 10:09:16 AM

I was testing out some stuff offline last night and got this idea.

Currently bases have strat report that shows whats enable and whats disabled,  ie Fighter Hangers, Fuel, Ammo etc.   Why not have the Base's Town also listed ie Town Enable / Disabled.   It would certainly save a lot of chatter on range channel "Is the Town down yet?"

I can see this and it would be nice, but I really don't think it will happen.  It would take some of the mystery out of when a town was ready and when it wasn't.  If anything like that was added to the stats, why not show when the ack is down on a base?

I like the idea, but as the previous poster said it would take "mystery" and skill out of base capture...Good thought, but in my opinion all it would do is make the game more "gamey" and less realism...

I like this idea a lot.  I've thought about it myself.  A lot of frustration and waste of time occurs trying to get information on the status of a town.  It could be considered an emulation of intelligence reports exactly the same as factories and cities.  I'd also like to see it extended to percentage of ack up, percentage of hangers up, etc.  Seeing the status of the town would definitely be the great one, though.
