Hangar spawning

[hitech]

The argument was "too hard to code.. too many changes required to make it happen.. blah blah blah".  Since then we've had the graphics updated, shadows added, new damage models introduced (at least the WWI planes).. oh yeah don't forget WWI in general.  Doesn't seem like it would be THAT difficult (relatively)... but even if it is, I hope hi-tech keeps it in mind for the next major 'redo'...

You did not hear that from me.

But I doubt I will change it. There also are big down sides. If I were to change it, I would just make multiple spawn points at the field, and let you choose where to spawn instead of random.

I like the idea of letting us choose which spawn to select! +1

No I didn't hear that from the horse's mouth.. it was speculation on the players' parts.  But NOW I remember what happened with the original request.  Somebody turned it into a "well don't spawn at the hangar while it is being camped" or a "don't let the camper get into position in the first place" flame rather than looking at it in a 'more realistic' point of view.  Some people looked at the request as a whine.. you know "wah wah i keep getting camped so please make it so I can't get camped anymore", but that couldn't be further from the case.

It's a good thing that hasn't happened to this thread. . . . .

Doesn't get more definitive of an answer then this, at least he didn't say no.

This would be a fantastic idea!  Could you make it so you cant spawn into a hanger that is destroyed?  Can you explain what down sides are?

"I doubt I will change it" sounds like no in the near future to me.  So no point asking how it would work.  Let's ask again in a year or two.

i would just like an explination as to what the downsides are?

I must beg to differ Flyer...........  It's quite vague to me.

HOWEVER......  I'm with Von here.  I have camped a hanger during my life here, it's true.  That's not even why I'm against it though.  I'm preferable to the defensive side too.  And Mr. Messa brings up several rather valid points.  It takes that driver a while to get there, the bases starts flashing at least, what?  Maybe 5 minutes before the hanger is camped... (Unless some some crazy hippie, tripping, is driving an M8 in there. But if that were the case it wouldn't really be much of a camp in the first place) ... "Base Under Attack" actually does mean just what it says.  If you sit back and think about it for a moment, there is really no reason ever for a VB hanger to get camped.
