what we need are some layouts. I mean if we could come up with some actual maps, even just sketches that might help push this along. You could even post/link them here. We need more good ideas and we need to build on them as a community as well. |

Also, in this world, it's going to be REALLY difficult to make a living as a sniper. CQC is no place for a sniper rifle I see your complaint and move to give a rebuttle. You fail to use your imagination, good sir. Invision a huge complex which tanks simply cannot access, but is still quite open. I'm talking 250-300m spaces between buildings. Giant clocktowers or so which look down on the whole complex and the rest of the map so a sniper could kill any infantry, spot any tank, and direct his troops. Snipers WOULD have a use. Let's also pretend artillery tanks existed and a sniper could equip a tool to his weapon that would automatically give grid coordinates to the artillery tank at extreme ranges. Then the sniper gets kill credits and the tank gets assists because the sniper spotted and painted the target. Snipers and tanks would become an integral part of one another, as well as working with the infantry to make sure they were safe at all terms. The sniper would be necessary on every map.
Agreed. This simply goes back to the fact that we need more maps. But just any maps. Who better to come up with the ideas than us. Im gonna figure out how to do just that and I challange other players to do the same. CCP can be responsive to proactive players. I have seen it. |

I hardly find that to be a legitimate statement. It would be more reasonable statement to say they would chose not too. Yet, they are more than capable. Eve has benefited many times by players fleshing out good ideas and creating a platform. There is nothing wrong with doing that in this case. This is a clear oppertunity to influence the direction of this game. |

It would be awesome if they gave us some kind of basic autoCAD with modules for all of the different buildings and whatnot and then let us generate community maps. I don't mean the whole program, just something simple where we could design the map like the "view from space" for each map we currently have. I hope that makes sense.
That would be cool for when we can control planets. There could be a UI similar to planetary interaction that would let you arrange the set up, buildings, etc. Yet, I doubt that would happen any time soon. Again I think we should focus on more immediate layouts. Those that could implemented into the existing games like ambush, skirmish, etc. Just more layouts is enough to go after imo. |

Right, that is kinda what I meant. Give us a barebones program like Dungeon Designer with pieces for all of the pieces they currently have and let us build the map from the components they give us. Each "finished" map could be put up for approval by the community on a special sub-forum, then they just need to build it to spec.
True. we could use a program like that to design what we are talking about too. I dont have time to look it up now (@work), but can anyone suggest a program/s to use for this? |
