Team 1 can easily get A, team can easily take C. Both teams can then head toward the center to fight over B. Also, the circular nature allows for one team to attack each objectives inside the building at the same time if they both attack clockwise or counterclockwise; as team 1 tries to take C, team 2 tries to take A, and it makes a nice circular flow in one direction. If both teams attack each other's objectives from different directions (one clockwise, the other counterclockwise) there would be a nice clash.

I want it.

I love it gameplay wise but what would be the lore? Would it be some sort of logistics hub? A high speed transit depot?

A giant sucrose accelerator to make cotton candy... or some Amarr particle accelerator laser research station.

Yea. A huge particle accelerator would be excellent. They are typically underground though and CCP has said they are going to avoid fully interior maps since they are too resource intensive. Too bad though since it would be really cool.

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) looks like a great backdrop for a DUST battle.

I hear ya. I was just day dreaming about a map that was in a particle accelerator that was actually LHC sized.

Another outpost idea: vertical tower https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1354251#post1354251

Huh. An almost anti king of the hill. The one problem with circular flow is... circles. We tend to notice internally that once you hack a point and move to the next and start hacking it, the point you just hacked got hacked, so you move to the next in the circle and continue the process. It get's a bit tedious.

However, I like the idea of a circular outpost. I would rather design the circular game flow out of it though.

I have also noticed that.
I also noticed how ironic it is that the dev that brought it up is named LogicLoop

I would propose a disc-shaped outpost, put multiple objectives on the edge, then one in the middle. Then the options pour in:

>Conical: Basically, the floor slopes from the edges to the center. If it slopes upward, the central point becomes a king-of-the-hill battle. If the slope is downward instead, that same point is now a killbox for those at the edges. If you had... say, 16 times the RAM to use, then the map could be made to shift from one to the other, making a tactical advantage into a slaughterfest.

>Spinning: Self-explanatory. Might make Orbital Strikes more difficult to call in.

>Multi-Team: Imagine having at least 3 teams fighting on this sort of disc. "chaotic" would be an understatement.

Apparently only three of us think this would be amazing. That is so sad.

I dunno... I'm kinda digging on the mobius idea up above. Though it could make heads explode.
