remove the floor from the MCC, so that players have to drop in to combat. This would prevent players using the safe MCC for skill point farming, where they have no intention of playing a match. |

Why on earth would you make a modification to the game which cannot be suitably explained by game lore when there are alternatives which work just as well?
Hi, I'm the designer of the Mobile Command Centre. You'll notice this model has no floor because LOL we have no idea how to design vehicles with the sole purpose of allowing strategic placement of troops and feel like forcing your troops to be placed willy nilly all over the damn show.
Of course players should be forced in to combat, why else are they there? Game lore is not relevant to the existence of a floor on the MCC. As this game is not a simulation, there is no need for a floor. As for your design quote, why do you think the floor is there, to allow mercs to have a coffee and a chat during games? There is no need for it, it encourages skill point farming, and standing around doing nothing. |

There would still be an opening in the middle for jumping sooner. Ths lore behind it would be that, companies were tired of paying Mercs to do nothing; they felt they were getting robbed of their ISK. So they implemented this new floor so that you either fought for them, or died for failing to do what they are paying you to do.
that is a great piece of Dust lore, they should bring that in  |
