A pub basing idea...

[bubbles19518]

Before continiuum I played a game called "Infantry" it was simlilar to SS except you were people and not ships. Anyway they started to charge so I quit. But I did like the way one of the arenas handled basing. Instead of having one ship to attach to you could attach to any ship. It made the game a lot more fast paced and it makes it really hard to hold base. I think it would be cool to try since we have that new timed base thing in pub 0. Anyway I think we should try it. Thoughts, comments?

Would render the terrier useless.

You could have related it to a different zone, the terrier being the only attachable ship is one of the factors which makes TW interesting.

Yep

But you can still make an arena for this and then get someone to do the settings (*couch twdev *couch) and voila... the map in TW.

Another interesting thing in Infantry was the Skirmish zones. You had to hold 5-6 flags for 3 minutes or something. There was a character called the Sargent that was basically the zone's equivilent to the TW terrier, but instead of people attaching to it, he had to "summon" the people by highlighting their name on the playerlist and pressing a certain button. When you're summoned you are automatically teleported near the sergent. It was pretty awesome.

The game was a lot more interesting and fast-paced than crappy TW basing. I miss it.

It's hard enough to get people to attach to the terriers that do play now; I don't see how offering other possible turrets would get them to want to attach more. All this would do is create more non-basing turrets like spider turrets or lanc turrets. They won't contribute to basing at all.

It would only increase the use of javs. That ship is already way too overused in pub basing, I couldn't imagine the amount of them if they were able to hold turrets.

It would make basing TOO hectic and flood the team chat with "attach to attack" messages that get annoying to begin with.

go to a zone with SVS <_<

[Krusnik]

haha if u do that u might as well give each ship the same characterisitics......

[dchao]

go to a zone with SVS <_<

?go #svs

I forgot to mention that you can't stay tached... Once you F7 you drop right where the person you tached to is. It causes the basing to become faster. As for the increased use of javs, I think not... Energy recharge... If anything there would be more spids/wbs. As for Infantry, I played Twin Peaks and you had to hold 4 flags for 90 seconds... It was hard.

go to a zone with SVS <_<

or go to DSB

?go #svs

Yeah but bubbles' point was to attach to any ship. Being alone in an arena doesn't help -_-

[Shas'la T'au Kais]

run multiple clients and attach to yourself

[Jeansi]

But that would be illegal


:fear:
