By this I mean the possibility of creating more urban style sockets, interactable that we as mercs can scale, traverse, and fight over.
The incorporation of NULL cannons into such structures, being surrounded by such structures, etc.
All of this can be incorporated into PI style colonies, rather than full scale habitation modules.
Is this possible or on the road map? |

More ladders please.
Interiors are more what I was thinking but I guess if drop uplinks had us "drop in" to the match rather than teleport in scaling objects would be a lot easier. |

More ladders please. Dropships, drop uplinks. We won't use ladders a lot. However, we are trying to get support for something like "lifts". Or another means in general to get players to the tops of buildings.
internal or external stair cases would be useful and a rather necessary part of urban combat. |

I am concerned about players having to walk or climb up 1000's of meters of stairs or ladder rungs. =)
Personally speaking though, and I know it doesn't mean much coming from one average gamer, I don't mind doing that as long as players have the capacity to open up new modes of combat for themselves.
Defending multi layered structures, roof top sniping, area denial and all that such stuff. But I can agree with you that it would be somewhat problematic.
I can only assume from that response that you guys have some seriously big ideas for this game if were to be climbing 1000's of metres tall structures.... either way Perhaps certain smaller structures could see this sort of access given to them. |

It would be excellent if there were locations/ sockets in the game that really supported the use of drop ships and inertia dampeners in a meaningful way. a transitional structure that is worth owning and worth committing dropships and squads to taking. |

The Research outpost has A medium socket that is a landing pad. Well two landing pads in it. On the topic of not a lot of ladders. We are not entirely opposed to them of course. They are around in some areas. Probably not as much as some players like. We also have an unusual bug that occurs when a ladder is in a socket and in certain scenarios for unknown reasons the ladders will not function at all. The ladders that exist now are the ones that would always work for sure on the current maps.
Is this an outpost/ socket we have in game or one that is soon to be released, I know of perhaps 1 socket with a landing pad and while that is a very nice structure it normally isn't worth risking my pilots ship to take, though that kind of outpost is exactly what I mean when I talk about developing a socket with verticality. |

Some floors will have landing pads sticking outwards from the building. Other floors will have similar layouts but with turret installations. I imagine at least ten floors, each providing something different. Dropships will actually be meaningful in providing troop transport.
Also, the combat zone will be in the topmost floors, and the redline will start below the lowest floor.
That would see a lot of MCRU use from dropship pilots which coupled with WP incentive really could bring out and interesting game mode where we fight vertically rather than across open spaces.
Tactical Dropship insertions, use of Drop Uplinks, bubble shields, and Air Cav teams would make this game mode great. |
