KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 5127	Posted - 2013.07.25 13:20:00 - [1] - Quote Jump link installations What is it: A set of two quantumly entangled wormhole generator installation that allow infantry and vehicles passing through to teleport between the two, and also allows infantry to any friendly drop uplink currently deployed. Because they are a quantumly entangled set, hacking one means you hacked both. Drop uplinks are wormhole technology according to the description, so it stands to reason that a wormhole installation would be able to connect with them. How it would work: Go into the swirling gate of light at jump link installation A, and you will see what appears to be a spawn screen. You can select between any active drop uplink on your team, and jump link installation B. Teleporting to the selected location should be instant. Why: The tactical value of teleportation is pretty obvious. The team which controls it will be able to cover more ground, and basically have a great shortcut. It would add a new dimension of usefulness to drop uplinks. Also, it would be AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWEESSSOOOOOOOMMEEEE. To summarize, just do it.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 5131	Posted - 2013.07.26 01:27:00 - [3] - Quote No comments? Not even negative ones about how it somehow violates the lore, or how its too game breakingly radical, or how its too boringly pointless, or "this is Dust, go back to Stargate SG1 noob"?
SponkSponkSponk The Southern Legion 106	Posted - 2013.07.26 01:35:00 - [4] - Quote We have this. It's called start -> suicide.

WRONG 1) NOT instant 2) Fitting is destroyed 3) The idea I propose allows the vehicle to come out at the other jump link installation, suicide does transport vehicles.
Xaviah Reaper Savage Arms INC 6	Posted - 2013.07.26 01:46:00 - [6] - Quote could cause problems in games such as skirmish and domination. however, i think a building with this "jump link" gate already inside it, should be hackable. However, you cant go back to the gate from the uplink. Also, the players who use uplinks should recieve very little if any points for these uplinks as aresult of people trying to farm wp. that way, it could actually be implemented in a fair and useful way without causing too many issues. ideas?

I don't think it would cause problems in Skirmish and Domination as long as the placements are fair too both teams, and not too close to any particular objectives. I don't think special buildings are necessary, though it would be nice if they were pretty large and epic in scale like buildings. I agree about not being able to jump back to the installation from the drop uplink. I also agree that WP for drop uplink teleportation should be smaller than drop uplink spawn WP, though it isn't that much more abusable than regular drop uplinks. The only difference is suciding and spawning on a drop uplink to farm WP for a friend takes a few more seconds.
Bittersteel the Bastard Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2013.07.26 02:09:00 - [8] - Quote I like it but I feel like you could just camp outside it and since you're essentially respawning (without wasting a suit) you'll have that whole disorienting fade from black screen during which you would probably be killed. I'd like this to be somehow distanced from people who would try to camp it by perhaps making it elevated half a story and having a place where the jump-gate could be hacked. Beneath the gold, the bitter steel.

Beneath the gold, the bitter steel. I was thinking Infantry could get a temporary cloak (like when they spawn) to help with campers. There's always the speed and/or protection of vehicles to help, like ramming through with a fast LAV. Distancing the exit point from the actual installation works as well, I would support that.

Bittersteel the Bastard Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2013.07.26 16:44:00 - [12] - Quote Here's a quick and inelegant sketch I made which might work. Maybe they could program it so that you take no fall damage out of the jump gate? Idk http://postimg.org/image/xaihp4707/ A question though. What if someone is in the jumpgate and has not yet selected a point to exit when the jumpgate installation is hacked? What happens then? Do they just die? Do they get to exit? Beneath the gold, the bitter steel.

Fire of Prometheus Solaris Space Marines 47	Posted - 2013.07.27 03:09:00 - [14] - Quote I like this but I think it would be better on massive maps, 2-3 times the size of ones we have However +1 for the design :)
Terry Webber Turalyon Plus 272	Posted - 2013.07.27 04:33:00 - [15] - Quote It seems like a good idea. It would be faster than just sprinting or driving to flanking areas.

Beneath the gold, the bitter steel. I think you should die if you cross and it gets hacked before you can exit. That seems reasonable. I mean if it's instantaneous transfer you should have more than enough time to leave before it getting hacked.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 5244	Posted - 2013.08.03 11:24:00 - [22] - Quote Still want to teleport around.
Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon Plus 2274	Posted - 2013.08.03 11:38:00 - [23] - Quote KAGEHOSHI you have so many good ideas.
Terry Webber Turalyon 514 293	Posted - 2013.08.03 16:11:00 - [24] - Quote I also think this will be very useful. It might even go along the idea I wrote in this thread. Go check it out if you like.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 5287	Posted - 2013.08.07 03:22:00 - [25] - Quote It should be a white or gold Amarr installation since drop uplinks are also Amarr.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 5287	Posted - 2013.08.07 08:18:00 - [26] - Quote Also way too cool to realistically ever happen in Dust

I'm sure it could work, but has CCP ever added anything really unique to gameplay to suggest they would ever implement this? The only thing I can think of was spawning in an dropping out of the MCC, and this idea is much bigger than that. They still struggle to get basic gameplay right. I have fallen into despair.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 5337	Posted - 2013.08.09 02:33:00 - [29] - Quote I still dream on.
