Within the terrain are zoned off areas, outlined by your infamous redline. These are battlegrounds we're getting 3 of them

Within each battlezone is multiple sockets that are occupied by small, medium and large buildings at random (but they're going to start theming them so gallente small stuff with gallente big stuff.

Largest of these buildings are known as outposts, we're getting one new one as well.

Then how the entire map feels, time of day, and type of dirt, weather, skybox and the sorts are known as moods, we're getting a few more of those as well.

Other than the Terrain and Battlefield many other things are interchangeable.

Thank you, I read this while sipping coffee. Have my likes sir.

Final question... What is CCP Praetorian referring to as Surface Infrastructure then, if it INCLUDES large sockets and medium sockets? Is an SI and a battleground the same thing...? Or did he misspeak?

And actually they call it one new map but it is actually one new huge terrain, and will have 3 maps on it in Uprising 1.4 (similar to how right now all the maps we play on share a common terrain, as you can see when you zoom out all the way).

At this point, I'll be happy if they give us a flat plain. I'll hate the map itself, but I'll like the fact that they gave us something new.

XANDER KAG Red Star. EoN. 211	Posted - 2013.08.22 18:16:00 - [11] - Quote Never was in closed beta but that looks like it would be a B**** to break a redline. So many ambushers just waiting. Still it looks like it would be fun.

It will certainly have a different feel from our current mega terrain which I like to call the foothills. Meaning 3 big outposts?

I don't know if I didn't get enough sleep last night, or you are being vaugue, but I'm having a hard time picturing this still... So, it will be a 5k square, and what...we will have 3 different craters that we fight in? At the same time or in different battles? I get there are 3 craters, but what is IN the craters and WHEN is it in them? It probably makes perfect sense to you since you've seen it, but it sounds different than anything we have. I initially pictured something like Manus Peak but with 3 large sockets rather than mediums...
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 7627	Posted - 2013.08.22 19:24:00 - [19] - Quote Okay, Maps are built into this big 5kmx5km area we call this the Terrain. We're getting a new one. Within the terrain are zoned off areas, outlined by your infamous redline. These are battlegrounds we're getting 3 of them Within each battlezone is multiple sockets that are occupied by small, medium and large buildings at random (but they're going to start theming them so gallente small stuff with gallente big stuff. Largest of these buildings are known as outposts, we're getting one new one as well. Then how the entire map feels, time of day, and type of dirt, weather, skybox and the sorts are known as moods, we're getting a few more of those as well. Other than the Terrain and Battlefield many other things are interchangeable.

Outposts = Surface Infrastructure, so any maps with the lab installed on it will get the new outpost on it. The other two are 'place holders' for now. Which is the cargo hub and production facility. Our current collection of outposts may also turn into SI themselves one day as well.

I didn't expect to say this but I am quite excited for 1.4 and then we have 1.5 after. Maybe, just maybe things are looking up.
