From Smoke Jumper:

The Continental Lattice is going in because it solves many serious gameplay/gameflow issues at once. I recommend trying it a bit before passing judgement upon it.

Granted...we recognized the idea as interesting when we saw folks post it on the forums, but we were actively pursuing solutions to the "phantom hacker" issue, the need for defense incentives, and the complete non-clarity of our facility abilities. We combined all three solutions into the Continental Lattice because it's elegant, obvious to players, and does a lot of what we originally wanted in the game.

I like this alot....centralizes the action and causes strategies to be implemented instead of the "lets attack over here in BFE because no one is there" stuff that is going on right now. Only bad thing I see is more people jammed into a smaller area = more lag.

i like it for those reasons, that people will actually defend bases and battles would have more importance

hopefully the lag issues won't be that detrimental :confused:

Thank you Lord! This is most likely going to be one of the best fixes so far.
