Unfortunately, devs avoid these convos, not necessarily intentional, more due to the large topic spam here on the forums.

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)


• No Orbitals. (Or only after a CD timer post taking over a null cannon)

Some things which sound great! But I'm not to sure if it's possible,

Keep objectives up and make them hackable for salvage/ISK (Give cool down windows that get larger and larger, with multiplying payouts for the squad hacking ((add soft cap) resets when a different squad hacks)

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.

Dude, there's been so many good game modes suggested by community that just faded into obscurity.

hmm so a persistant battle.. what about sp/isk earned? paid upon leaving the fight?
