The redline "problems" are a symptom, not a disease. Treat the disease.

The redline should be a place where you can't drop your own equipment. The mcc should have turrets that you have automatically kill enemies nearby, or it can be used to shoot that guy with a railgun or sniper shooting into the spawn. Enemies near the mcc and ground base should be constantly scanned. Warpoints won't be earned inside the enemy redline being that you're leaving the district vulnerable. For vehicles they could be shut down completely until the enemy team hacks it, or it explodes. All of this will make the redline feel more realistic than it is.

You're idea reminds me of starhawk where you would deploy a forcefield in the center of you're base that can be destroyed. I also like that mobile supply depot idea. It sounds like it could be a nice medium frame vehicle.

I like the idea but the force field should be more like a star wars shield ( like the battle of naboo shield not ray shields ) or halo bubble shield, both teams can enter or exit it but can't fire through it, you won't want to go through it if you're the wrong team but you can quickly chase any person trying to run in to or hide in

if they do the force field and a team is getting stomped then the team will then keep going in and out of spawn building.

There have been quite a few ideas about how to improve the red-line and all the issues that arise from it's existence. Some ideas--that I shall not go into, while being very inventive, could cause very serious issues with the client and server sides of the software,(i.e rendering those whom have slightly slower connections unable to play the game).

Therefore, I propose that we should just scrap the idea of a red-line all together and just have a massive force field descend from the bottom of each MCC all the way to the ground beneath them. And if you want a spawn point on the ground you have to hack a special building where the town spawn would be and then a smaller force field is erected around that or just use the random CRU's provided and spawn pads.

If you want to take the other teams town spawn you have to bombard it's force field with rail and/or missile tanks until it collapses and then your team can hack the console inside. This would eliminate a need for the red-line as well as making a battle a little more dynamic.

There will be those of you worried about being deprived of CRUs or supply depots at said town spawns, which in most cases Tankers more-often-than-not tend to destroy at the beginning of the match anyway. Which as we all know results in neither side having any of the aforementioned infrastructural elements thereby creating an intense reliance on spawn pads, nanohives, and the MCC, at least in most matches I've been in.

But worry not, for if we were to have the ability to call down our own infrastructural elements (i.e. CRUs,Turret Installations,Supply Depots, as I've read might be coming anyway) this might alleviate your concerns in this regard.

Or a module could be created that will allow any vehicle, that can afford to equip it, the ability to become a mobile supply depot in much the same way as Tankers and Dropship pilots equip the mobile CRU module, now.

The redline should be a place where you can't drop your own equipment. The mcc should have turrets that you have automatically kill enemies nearby, or it can be used to shoot that guy with a railgun or sniper shooting into the spawn. Enemies near the mcc and ground base should be constantly scanned. Warpoints won't be earned inside the enemy redline being that you're leaving the district vulnerable. For vehicles they could be shut down completely until the enemy team hacks it, or it explodes. All of this will make the redline feel more realistic than it is.

You're idea reminds me of starhawk where you would deploy a forcefield in the center of you're base that can be destroyed. I also like that mobile supply depot idea. It sounds like it could be a nice medium frame vehicle.

If you add your new "redline" feature, proto stomping will be SO MUCH WORSE! The enemy team would just blow up the force field and camp the victimized team. They would just circle the mini field and the instant someone leaves they would die.

Instead the force fields should behave more like they do in Planetside 2. Allowing the team that owns the force field to fire out, thereby making camping the perimeter of it suicide. I feel this would eliminate camping of this sort.
Also, they should only allow the owning team to enter. We do need some kind of safe haven after all.

Nice quip, but do actually have any suggestions of your own to add to this discussion.

This is like the 4th thread this week about this nonsense, so you'll have to excuse my brevity. Since you asked, I'll give you one.
