And you probs gonna completely ignore the feedback regardless what people say.

The one thing I see everyone here forgetting is to ask one of the simplest, yet biggest, question of all when it comes to Nova maps and PC gameplay.

What do you look for in the core design of every single map and in every gameplay of the game itself?

When it comes to maps, the core design to me is being able to see whether you are the attacker or the defender. In Dust 514 there was no clear indication if you are the attacker. Both sides had an MCC and both had an end goal. Sure, the match roster would tell me, but I never felt like I was defending or attacking an outpost.

I like to imagine that once NOVA Mercs become a big deal, larger ships will start being installed with clone bays (inactive clones) that can be onlined when boarders arrive.

I imagine such a clone bays being in various strategic locations on the ship, heavily guarded, with a more central location on the ship. I imagine a setup that gives the imagination view to rows and rows of clones in vats, and maybe a "Iron-Man" style armoring station where a clone could be spat out, armored up, and spat into the area. All very clean and fortified.

This would be in contrast to the boarders where the pods have just breached in, a look of havoc and rush that makes the boarding area look frantic, and out of order.

As to voice overs, I think the attackers should have special VO for the attackers, from a commander giving updates, orders, etc. Maybe have the map change slightly in regards to the attackers gaining objectives vs defenders reclaiming objectives.

Lights going from "standard" to "emergency" lighting (if dynamic lighting is possible), Engine sounds going off or on, or even other minor effects changing. (For example out of a window you could see guns firing, or not firing based on who controls the hardpoint)

Edit:

How dynamic do you think maps will be? Will they be able to having "moving parts" as it were?

If you have any plans for moving parts what do you think of doing in a broad sense?
[Lighting effects, Sound effects, all the way up to parts of the map actually moving]

What do you think about Skirmish 1.0? Is there any possibility of making that work in a ship setting where doors open or close depending on the outcome of the battle?

@LogicLoop are you designing the social spaces as well? For a F2P game Nova needs somewhere to show of your gear and I want to see the other side of the mercs quarters!
