DUST Search - every ambush map should have at-least one supply depo.

Ideas:
Have a single supply depot located inside a very small building. 2-3 rooms max. Being in an enclosed space will make you vulnerable to grenades. It will also prevent vehicles just blowing depots up.
Pros:
Ambush now makes sense. There is a strategic position, which is to be taken, and both teams plan to gank the other team and take said supply base.
Everyone can change loadout. People will defend and attack the supply base, making the game more dynamic.
Factional supply depots / camps will be great for the art department.
Cons:
Encourages people to avoid taking nanohives / lone wolf. I'll get over it.

Additional thoughts:
The small building I described could be an excellent area for CCP to look at allowing fans the tools to design their own installation. Start small. Very small. But allowing Dusters/EvE players to create their own stuff would be really cool.

Edit: That ended up being longer than I thought.

Actually like quite like this idea, the current "spires" map with the 2 supply depots almost always turns into the 2 teams camping a depot each (I know I'm as guilty of this as anyone)

Dropping it down to 1 though would give a serious tactical advantage to the team holding it and encourage actual combat.

Using nano hives does not make up for it because they do not give you the option to change your fittings. Give players the freedom to change their fittings, instead of forcing them to kill them selves in order to change.

Players want to bring down installations, and have them last. They don't want to risk losing them in a game that is on a small map, and takes around 10-15 minutes to finish.

J'Jor Da'Wg KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 648	Posted - 2012.09.23 03:06:00 - [10] - Quote I agree. Although in some ways I like how having only one supply depot gives a central focusing point for the fighting. But 2 would be fine also.

Oh how the small minds opinion changes so fast. EDIT.......... If they change it now, I'm gonna call a tank in and blow em all up.

Some fights with depots, some without, makes for variation and challenges.

The dark cloud Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1060	Posted - 2012.09.23 11:41:00 - [19] - Quote Yes i want supply depots on all maps. Usually my squad gathers around 1 supply depot with AV weapons and all kinda stuff and make it a fort to defend. It gets even more intense if you destroy the enemy's supply depot and then defend the only 1 remaining on the map.
EnglishSnake Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 1012	Posted - 2012.09.23 13:43:00 - [20] - Quote I guess this idea has popped up because on 3 of the maps you can drop a tank and roam about freely because ppl have to die to change to AV which uses up clones but also makes AV sitting ducks to normal MI when the tank could be nowhere near where they spawn
