Yeah, your Mass Driver will be doing what it's designed to do, and people shall rage and the nerf shall come. Which is sad.

People don't seem to be able to notice that they are not supposed to be charging in a Mass Driver user in enclosed space across a corridor. Or to stand still and try to kill someone using a scrambler rifle from 60+m away with an AR. Some weapons shine when they are working in their intended scenario, some ONLY WORK when in their ideal scenario (laser rifle I'm looking at you). Seems like this new outpost will be setting a lot of explosions, as long as that is not the only way to fight in it, which I doubt, it should be fine. I just hope people don't pick too much on the MD.

Plenty of ways to duck out in this socket from a mass driver in the more confined areas. Most long shots are exterior and in exposed areas.

These are designed as sets. The racial sets will stay with each race currently. We "could" mix them, but that is not the direction we are aiming for. If the outpost is Gallente, it will have supprting Gallente mediums and smalls. Which makes me think about this: Amarr outposts. Yes, it sounds awesome, doesn't it? I know it does. Imagine all the golden stuff... It Will be pretty different from the current ones I'm guessing. Will be awesome when they eventually get ready but I agree that sticking with the more basic Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar outposts is the ideal for now. Having more "basic" diversity before stuffing all the glory of the Empire in a gigantic golden Cathedral with a holy orbital cannon attached to it. Yeah, this sounds about right. On another topic, the Research Lab looks really great. Please let all the people that worked in it know that it looks fantastic and I can't wait to play in it. It may take a while to get the thing done but damn, it's worth it. Nothing like a job well done. :D

Please clarify. I have a meeting now, but will respond as soon as I can. can we have maps with 2 outposts,exclusive to instant battles? I think it would be too big for the number of players we currently have in the matches. Outposts usually have 3 objectives, that would be 6 objectives in the outposts and not a single one outside. Sometimes they only have 2, though, so maybe a map with two outposts in each side, with 2 objectives each and a single objective in the middle...? I'm not sure I like this concept very much. specially considering the number of players.

Therefore a gellente oriented corp would appreciate defending a CQC map better than a more open bunker hopping kind of map. I think that for this to work you would be stretching it a little. See, you'd have to start designing outposts that are purposefully more advantageous to a certain weapon or style and that's not nice when that asset comes out in a public match. Keeping it for only PC use is also not a good idea since its a lot of resources to create a feature that only a small number of players will ever see. What could be interesting is letting the corporations decide which maps, battlegrounds and maybe even the sockets of the map will appear when they are attacked. They could match it so they could be more familiarized with it or have some previously developed strategy or something, which could be an advantage, but only a marginal one. Plus, its cool to determine for yourself how your district looks like.

Good to hear. My Scrambler Rifle shall have plenty of Immortal Blood to bathe.
