Balistyc Farshot The Exemplars RISE of LEGION 27	Posted - 2015.01.13 15:20:00 - [1] - Quote I didn't see it up there but how about the warbarge is where we can host games? Kind of like a mini district like the PFC of old. Some people liked those, not really me. Corps want good battles that they can arrange without scheduling a massive PC. Hey, I want a good fight, we have 30 on from our corp, lets schedule a slug fest on the barge. Hey, that corp trash talked us on the forum. Lets see if they would fight in a warbarge with us, not for a district where we need advance notice but right now just for isk. Gives the proto stompers somewhere to play against each other potentially. Just to keep the number of grudge matches down implement a rule that states if you have more than X battles with empty slots then randoms will be placed into your fights. I did think through a few warbarge bonus ideas that have minor impact for the winning team but major impact for the losing team. I think the warbarge strike should be a last ditch effort to push back, otherwise why didn't we open with that attack. Plus we should make them a double edged sword is how I see it. Most of my ideas below focus on both teams being hampered. Barge bonus could simply be the removal of a few barriers, reduce the time for passengers outside of my squad to hop into my vehicle down to 2 seconds. EWAR - WP for all team members who kill opponents I scanned with active scanner. Fall damage reduced by 50%. One time scan of enemies over X profile within 20 meters of the null canons. (See those campers) Allowed to freeze the effects of the null canons (both sides) for 30 seconds. (More time to turn the fight.) Gain FW loyalty points even though your side lost. Increase overall payout for the match by X (both sides). Increase salvage meta to strictly be above X meta level. Turn off the AI on all turrets for 30 seconds. More impactful would be to turn them off period for 20 seconds so you can push. Respawn all sockets that have been destroyed (Or a single socket.) This could be very effective for respawning those destroyed supply depots. Whole map flux, your gear and theirs no WP awarded. Lower the opposing teams vehicle max number for 5 minutes. They can't call in more vehicles for push back. Increase the melee damage of your team by X percent. (I know some people don't like these kinds of things, but so few people use melee.) *Only able to be executed by the losing team. Heavy with a massive bullet hose called Lola (Burst HMG).

Is the beef that Eve has a different view of the ships than Dust? - We can't rely on Eve for all of our mechanics or we paint ourselves into a corner. Eve doesn't consider Dust when they develop things so we need to keep a respectful distance when it comes to quoting the Eve bible here. IMO If the issue is about RP and how can we be pilots? - Do we really want to be a barrier to the new features this opens up. How do you know I am not a bad azz dropship pilot? Why isn't that taken into account? This leads into a new skill tree and new items which would most certainly be coming. (Whisper voice) "They plan on letting us use AUR on these ships. Probably new booster." If they want some RP: Rattati - Please hold a minor contest for people emailing in a 15 page document outlining the RP behind these ships after we get them. Tadah! RP in action and community sourced. Plus with the 15 page minimum you are sure to get real detailed. The distribution of the first warbarge being free is like the drug dealer giving you the first hit for free guys. Sorry, I have to call this out, but without every level of player trying them out, they can kick the tires on the personal warbarge idea. CCP, just be sure we can't spend isk or Aur on them until everything is working perfectly. (Remember the QA system is community based and if this is free to start then you have a great beta plan.) Then we don't have refunds needed. Also maybe put an expiration date on that first warbarge. Then we can start to achieve the permanent one. Then if the first one is OP, they can reclaim them on a set date and respec. RP - We borrow (Steal) a Warbarge to get our own. Heavy with a massive bullet hose called Lola (Burst HMG).

Why not present these new game features in a manner that is consistent with the rest of the game? What I proposed (mercs own small modular ships that dock to war barges) fits nicely in the current game model and allows for all the new features that have been proposed. I believe that Rattati wants to have a wow-factor. Imagine one player talking to another player, "I'm playing this game where I'm an immortal space mercenary and you get this massive capital ship as your homebase." That could hook some people in trying the game more than, "Yeah, we get a spaceship or something. Anyway, it's got a couch I think." Not that I support it, but that's what I think he wants. Are you dissing my couch? That's it! You aren't allowed over to my place anymore. (I really like your posts Rip, you give it to them straight.) Guys, nothing else, you get a nicer merc quarters. Let me tell you I have spent plenty of time walking around my little room wishing I could change the channel on the TV or do something stupid yet interesting in my room. Example: I have 20 minutes until PC, I know, I will reorganize my sidearms by damage output over range on the wall. I will remove all my non-proto weapons too. I don't want anyone to see my first scrambler pistol. That goes back under my bed. Heavy with a massive bullet hose called Lola (Burst HMG).

Raiding is always best in a PARTY! /dance Yes,tis more pleasure ending an immortal with your allies. Plus what do you know about planetary politics? Next thing you know, your dictatorship is questioned and now you have to gather the objectors for a learning experience, frankly, the headache just isn't worth it. Rip, I hear your argument but I want my warbarge with a fully stocked bar and a wall sized TV playing naughty movies. Don't squash my dreams. Heavy with a massive bullet hose called Lola (Burst HMG).

Don't squash my dreams. I do want a warbarge, and I want nudie movies and a stripper pole. I just want the ship to be at least believably sized. I'm picturing in my mind this hilarious seen where 32+ mercs' deathstar-sized warbarges are all crowding around a planet like fat piglets around a mama pig. It makes me laugh and groan at the absurdity of it. I think it was Arkena who suggests that the warbarges be cruiser-sized. That makes perfect sense to me. That's still a large ship, by the way. A stripper pole is a good idea! I will add that to my wish list. If it is the size of the ships that is ruffling, lets think about what they have done so far: The tanks - not huge The MCC - not huge The DS or ADs - Not very big Even blaster facilities or the buildings aren't very big Unless Ratiti starts trying to compensate with a big Warbarge we should expect things to be in proportion. Even if it does look a little ridiculous, at least we will be out of the merc quarters (Going optimistic here). I am going batty sitting in the same 10'x10' box waiting for a PC or other events. I look forward to the warbarge map room today when waiting. Plus if they are overly big we might be able to fight or park vehicles in them. Plus we might be able to have 2 movie rooms and stripper pole rooms! Heavy with a massive bullet hose called Lola (Burst HMG).
