Looks awesome. It will be nice to finally not have to fight outside.

Omg, thank you:)

If hit detection and match making is not fixed like they said it will then this map will just be another waist of time.

Will we be able to overload the reactor and cause nuclear meltdown??!

waste*

Will we be able to overload the reactor and cause nuclear meltdown??!

seems CCP is finally listening to the people who want inside map

We already have 3 outposts for indoor battles. An outpost itself is not a map, they're a component of the maps. The majority of the map will still be made up of outdoor spaces.

i will quit this map everytime its on , doesnt look vehicule friendly and it looks like a camp infested place with shotguns , knives , droplinks and grenades , like fish in a barrel

its a outpost not the entire map
there are still outside parts and other clusters of buildings around the map

still looks more inside than outside , i guess i will see

Does this makes us lab rats. "Bump bump tssssss"

Yesterday I got to talk one-on-one with CCP Logibro in the IRC and he shed a great deal of light on this outpost for me.

Supply Depot
You can get on the upper level of this area, you can also fly a dropship through it unscratched. And yes you can see another little interior hallway on the right side.

Aerial View
In the top right corner you can see the watch houses. This is actually the interior of the watch houses. Top floor lets out at the overlook while bottom floor lets out at the side of the road.
If you look at the side of the exposed reactor core, you can see an entrance. Yes, you can go inside of these.
You can't really see it, but in between the reactor cores is this tunnel. It leads to an underground testing lab which we can indeed fight in.

it looks like the most "Indoors" outpost and biggest outpost we have so far
Remember this is coming in 1.4 so don't say stuff like this will never happen

Actually it probably was Logibro he spoke with.

i mix up ur names so i guessed :D

so can u cut my op and post your version pleaseeeeeeee

Unfortunately the mod's have far more forum power than I. So I can not. Sowwy.

Does this makes us lab rats. "Bump bump tssssss"

I know devs can edit posts
please cut my op and post this
can't on current device

question 1: biggest outpost so far?

Fixed the Op for you.

question 2: what race is the next outpost under development be?
also something i saw in a chat channel earlier
"Will outposts have racial varients to?"

Caldari Production Facility. Also a Minmatar Cargo Hub outpost is in development. Art team has just started "VERY" basic art blockouts of it.

All "Surface Infrastructures" are currently planned to have a racial variant of each.

your favourite outpost?
ps 514 likes :o

Actually it probably was Logibro he spoke with.

Haha nice catch.

Biased answer. Research Outpost. Unbiased answer. Current Biomass Outpost.

in one of the concepts in your blog the building had glass windows
will u add glass?
if so will u be able to break it or will u just say space glass is strong

also a request
cand u increase the chance u will get new outpost/maps in rotation for first week of 1.4?

When you say an "Outpost is in development" do you also mean its subordinate elements are also, like are there medium pieces and small pieces in there too?

you said each will race will get its own SI, doest this include medium/small sockets to? if so can you have a gallante large socket with minmitar medium and ammar small etc?

you said each will race will get its own SI, doest this include medium/small sockets to? if so can you have a gallante large socket with minmitar medium and ammar small etc?

When Racial outposts start to come out, will you start tieing them into FW or regional space more directly? In Eve you might find other race's corps/outposts even in enemy race's space, but some kind of connection between the system's owners and the sockets would help the immersive experience.

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

quick question
exclusive to instant batte: 2 outposts 1 map

Not following what your question is. 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?

can we have maps with 2 outposts,exclusive to instant battles?

Not at this time. Currently having two outposts (large sockets) in one game mode area is a big no no.

So if sockets did provide certain kinds of advantages to one racial play style over another, then they could be something that corps would buy as military advantages. Therefore a gellente oriented corp would appreciate defending a CQC map better than a more open bunker hopping kind of map.

question: did you cut back on your hate of snipers in the research lab outpost?
:3

I'm looking at all the choke points. My mass driver is going to eat so many red berries.

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.

I'm looking at those small corridors and prepping my demolitions suit with all the REs I can possibly fit

What do you you think logicloop? Will RE be effective on this map?

It's only as effective as the player. It's how the players use their skills in the end.
