Bring back linked base capture

[waystin2]

I too favor the game as it is.  I understand the author's intentions, but I can envision the potential outcomes and it looks even less desirable.

Hmm.. how should that work? Bases disappearing from map when numbers go down?

Yup.  The unintended consequences could be hilarious, like the zip code who just BARELY got his damaged 262 on the runway when the runway vanishes.  Gotta love possibilities like that.

Reading comprehension, puck?  You didn't even bother to read my explanation that made it explicit that nothing like that was being proposed.

I'd vote for it.

Simply enjoying the thought process.  One of the nice things about games is you don't actually need to take them seriously unless you are unfortunate enough to be responsible.

Oddly enough it wasn't your post I quoted.  Hrm.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! It didn't go over very well and was short lived. What you really need to do is mount an effective offensive instead of just reacting.

...i.e. start my own noe hording missions?  Something has to be done to make an arena with 100-150 people not appear empty.  What other ideas are out there?

Dar all the way to the ground.

I thought that was a good idea BnZs, but the nay-sayers were against it, again.

Pretty much any idea that makes base-capture more difficult and which promotes more combat is shot down here.

Welcome to the AH bbs.

Hey Bronk, that HiTech quote a part of your signature line now?   Edit: How appropriate though, base capture is not intended by the game developer as the main component of strategy, merely as a catalyst to promote combat. 

Dar to the ground is a lot more tolerable for me than ENY ever was.

You know you don't have to convince us... if you can convince Hitech, it doesn't matter much what we 'naysayers' are saying

[Anaxogoras]

Hitech already seems convinced that there's a problem, and we know HTC browses these threads.  Seeing a bunch of people shout "No!" every time a suggestion is made doesn't encourage experimentation.

[Bronk]

ENY ... waaaa I can't fly my plane of choice in teh horde
New base capture..... Waaa can't win the map by hording the low number side only anymore
Split MAs ...waaa I can't fly at all with the horde


Next up on the agenda...

I am against the linked base capture system, been there done it was not impressed. It did not last long for a reason, it sucked. Should be able to attack where ever you want whenever you want. If you are losing bases to Noes or missions your own fault. Plenty of warning time on dar.
