I was trying to think of a game mode that would not require a client update. I've got an idea and would like to know if this kind of thing is possible, taking into consideration workload, many hot fixes down the road.
It's common knowledge that the maps we play on now are part of three much larger maps. If you take the time to stop and look during a battle you can sometimes see other complexes far off into the distance.
So heres my question, would it be possible to open them up? Get rid of the red lines for us to explore everything as one big map, under a new game mode, exploration? I understand that the maps are incomplete (i think) but they are big enough to make for some fun "exploration".
My idea is this,
- Get rid of any timers or MCC. (a map where people can join and leave at a whim)
- Introduce a similar concept to Ambush Spawns, whilst keeping the ground spawns we have in Skirmish and Domination.
- Make the salvage rate 50%. (Salvage only received upon exit of a map)
- Get rid of the vehicle cap. (Keep in mind that redlining isn't a thing due to point 2)
I'm sure there are a lot of aspects you could add to this, but, like the title says, I just want to know if this sort of thing is possible. Or if its even under consideration for far off into the future.
Thanks for reading,
Reed.

Maybe, but I intentionally only used aspects that are already in the game, all CCP need to do is combine them correctly. A new game mode is overdue.

That, is a fiiine suggestion!

I don't think it would no, the map you play on today still renders everything in the distance and I said nothing about increasing player count.

I don't think it would no, the map you play on today still renders everything in the distance and I said nothing about increasing player count. No but you are proposing removing the vehicle limit. There is a vehicle limit in skirmish for a reason, and it's server performance, hell the game has a hard enough time running the science research center, I'm not saying a new mode is impossible, but increasing the map to over 1km would require Ccp to rework how the ps3 loads everything, unless you think both the server and the client can handle preloading that much space with loading that many vehicles. Plus it only partially renders it in the distance, not fully.
Fair point, how about reverting it back to its old value then, which was proven to work and was only changed because of the stomp on the size of map we have now.
Regarding the way the maps load now they wouldn't need to change anything, it's how it should work, stuff in the distance is partially rendered (or at least a low quality file is rendered) so as to not impact performance as much (because stuff in the distance is hard to see anyway).
I'd love a blue tag in this thread. :D

Would be 50% of what you killed.
Theres also a really good post earlier on about hacking objectives to get ISK and more salvage, not sure if that parts possible but it's a sweet idea.

Well I still for some kind of feedback!
