Greetings,

First, you need to understand that right now, we are playing on a static map. When the game goes live the maps will be generate at battle initialization time based on the decisions made by the corp / alliance leaders and squad / team leaders. The basic terrain will remain fairly standard, but the objectives and "buildings" will be different on almost every map. Additionally, as CCP has stated multiple times, they are aware of this issue and are working on it.

Something like this will be in the game before launch, but right now we are supposed to be testing. The problem is that grouping would actually reduce our ability to test right now. Yes, some people would still test, but we would have fewer people testing and more people engaging in an epeen contest. The last I saw was that launch was scheduled for November... Let us test and get the core mechanics better tuned before we implement grouping.
Quote:RDVs - Two problems here. For one, it's impossible for me to know who else is spawning what and where.
Actually, no. If you pay attention, you will know exactly when your vehicle is delivered and which one it is. The game tells you when the RDV is in-bound and what it is is carrying if it is for you, and then it tells you that it has delivered it. If you watch that and the place you were at when you called for it, you will know exactly which one is yours.

THe build before this had a different kind of desert environment with canyons, cliffs, etc. No telling how far they will go, or how many different types of terrain they will build.
Actually CCP had a recent blog post about this. They stated that the terrain will remain pretty static, but that the objectives will be placed / created by the choices made by the various leaders. I am of course paraphrasing, but they have stated that they will not be making static maps for the different planets. They may for the different planet types, but they will still be fairly static terrain, just randomized objectives / buildings.
