CBS in 5-3

Yeah - there was one forum player that one BAD idea after another. I believe the name is - in jest - BP?, but in defense was actually implemented and never bespoken of ideas in forums.

Regarding in making this moronic 5-3 idea come to light the CBS can't be on the entry point side of EIC, MMO and VRU ports. Too close. That's why is it located on the lower left opposite Battleray. The exit portal moved up to the upper left.

 

Woo yeah wheres vespid we need him back

 

his computer went on him i believe. he mentioned it in a post while using his friends, and has not been on since.

 

Its a pirate map, it is not supposed to be a map where you can control. Remember, you have three companies in which you can place cbs, pirate maps are not from either company, therefore you wouldnt be allowed to control territory.

 

ubers which is also a battle map

 

ok smarty pants yes lol, but its considered part of the 3 companies, which is why it is 4-5, i think lol. but you get my drift.

 

lol sorry i don't.
Anyway yeah its basically been me and chixonator+ the owner of the post in favour of the base vs everyone else so i guess not many people like this thread= no base in 5-3

 

You know, for me it kind of defeats the idea of pirates, its supposed to be off limits territory, so placing a cbs on it makes it like any other map. ANd I just think that a base will monopolize that map if you get a ufe clan, they will palli, kill everyone and enjoy the boosters in that map. It would just be unfair to other players.

 

well it might be massive war for the cbs but the issue is it would give way to much of advantage in the map not to mentions those issues about getting to the danged cbs = its a pirate map it isnot supposed to have any company claims

Well first off, you post this as if it's already decided that we're going to put a base in 5-3, and now you're just debating about the battlerays. I (like most people who saw this) think this is a terrible idea.

Someone already said something about the mines giving an unfair natural advantage.

Any peace in the map that exists would be destroyed, and the people terrorizing the map would have a lot easier of a time doing so-- even the people who come through and hunt the map are only there for like 10mins, shaking up the map rather than constantly terrorizing it.

5-3 is not at all comparable to 4-5. 4-5 is very accessible by ports or jump chip-- 5-3 is not. 5-3 has naturally spawning mines, and all the aliens there shoot on sight-- 4-5 does not. In 4-5, you don't have to go anywhere near the base and people will not easily find you; in 5-3, everyone is concentrated in the pally cloud.

Even if you put the base in the top left corner where no one goes, the defenders of the base become entrenched with mines and pirates as natural defense, making it virtually imossible to take the base. One saboteur catches you off guard and you're smacking mines and under enemy fire. Too OP

Terrible idea.

 

doesnt have to be in the mine field. theres a huge empty square where a cbs could fit in the mazes, no mines, just pirates

 

I complete agree with you and thank you for articulating it as well as you did. The truth is, this map is supposed to be a pirate map. Please understand folks that pirates are not meant to be a conquered map. As cow tipper said, 4-5 is accessible easily and you can jump in or out, in pirates, you have to navigate from 5-1 and exit through 5-3. There is no other option. I say no to a base, no to the extra battle rays and no to the mines. If you have a rapid increase of battle rays, you will have more and more players at that npc, which will make it harder for others tp get that quest. Please, if you have an idea, remove yourself from the benefit of the idea and think of the larger picture. This request appears to be one for personal gain and not DO.

 

who goes through 5-1 and 5-2 to get to 5-3 anymore? everyone warps their ships except for the people who dont have extra hangers

and having a cbs isnt conquering the map, you dont own everything in the map, its simply a place to go and if you have boosters on it it gives you a few extra boosts thats it

 

You cant warp in pirates. Unless that has changed, i know that when pirates were first introduced, there was a glitch that allowed jump chip from 5-3, but the truth is, if you have a hangar then this is fine thats the only way you can navigate it ifyou dont want to fly through it, but the topic is more about a cbs in the map, it just has no place in that map in my opinion ya know.

 

you guys are saying it would be too op...

the position wouldnt be in the mines therefore no mine defense just pirates.

Pirates, the only thing that seperates pirates to normal npcs is sabotuers shoot dcrs and annhilators shoot hellstorms... This is clearly not an issue if everything is so happy to go in palla fields and collect ore for how many hours... Obviously no1 is scared of those npcs
the damage booster that the CLAN may get is only 10%... not op at all considering it is just ONE CLAN.

If the ONE CLAN gets the base in 5-3 does the whole map become theirs? NO. its one base... its like saying 4-4 becomes one clan's whole map just because they may have a base.

You're also saying the pirate maps shouldn't be owned... look back at the point above.

Also saying pirates is off limits is not even a valid point... if it was, why would there be portals in every map? why would their be a field of useful ore? why would there be a base? why would there be a dimilitarized zone?

Base in 5-3 would also increase the pvp in the game which is effectively what everyone has come to play for and i think you guys are forgetting that and so you are opposing the idea because you think it will make things worse for you in terms of progressing. Bare in mind guys i'm also a semi elite player with full havocs 9 drones 20+ lf4s 3 hercs... i'm not great, i'm not a massive hunter... i just know the game has got boring and this would be something to liven it up

 

Awful Idea this is literally the worst of the worst out of all the comments I have seen, and I have seen many idiotic posts this will not work doesn't take a rocket scientist, or Albert Einstein to know that.

 

^that is the worst comment i have ever seen. pretty sure he made valid points on why this will work just fine.

 

"Valid" lol whatever.

 

A pirates CBS - I am for IT! It is gonna be the 'best' defended CBS ever! Prepare to DIE The 'finger' pointed at you. A slowdown hit from a 'S' and POOF
