You bastard!!!! I was just about to post that...

But yea.. it looks finally like there going to start making things interesting.

Splidz · 06-10-2003, 08:28 PM

Wicked! Those are some really cool additions.

Grunt · 06-10-2003, 08:29 PM

Yeppurs... THIS is why we're paying to play this damn thing... now if only they fix the server stability and netcode a bit

AvengerX · 06-10-2003, 08:31 PM

I just think the process of using the outfit points to "purchase" things for the outfit is going to be VERY interesting. Perhaps a floating base for ATF use?

Sidewinder · 06-10-2003, 08:56 PM

I wonder how this outfit speading thing will work. Kinda sucks if your an outfit with less than 50 members.

Spinning Hat · 06-10-2003, 09:40 PM

So much stuff coming soon... Mmm... Need... money....

SlayerZero · 06-11-2003, 12:03 AM

I knew about some of that but the rest is just great.

Who needs a floating base, pick a continent and lets claim it and keep it locked. Nothing could piss off and stire up the other armys then doing that, we could ahve mass running battles as a result.

w00t for the instant action improvements! As it is now, that thing is amazing in it's ability to put you in the most useless spot in the entire planet.

Dude no shyte, I tried it out for a little solo action and it put me at some tower with like 5 other vanu fooz on a TR locked down continent with no base we could hack. OMFG, I was like whaaaaaaaaaaat.

I like the bio lab respawn thing, and the automated turrets will be nice for air vehicles that hover, but it will suck for us on offense.

The Advanced Hacking being the only cert that can hack Equipment Terminals and Vehicle terminals will cause me to toss aside my hacking cert. I don't want to be a hacker only had it to hack equip terminals so I could dress up in my FATT SUIT. So now, I guess I'll buy something useful. Reinforced and Lancer/Lasher I guess.

Finally some info on orbital strike. Wonder how hard it is to get outfit points to spend.

EMP Blast, really like this one, that's sweet. Doesn't say if it'll use outfit points but i'm sure it does. This could be really useful in attacking a hevily defended base.

Quote:

No "Hack Leapfrogging": You will soon be unable to hack an enemy facility if the only friendly facility linked to that enemy facility is also hacked itself. This will stabilize the "fronts" and prevent "hack leapfrogging".

This is an interesting one, guess you have to DEFEND now in a way or at least break a hack on your base before you can hack the next one in line.

Quote:

Defenders can Respawn at Hacked Facilities: To aid the defense a bit, they will soon be able to respawn at hacked facilities. Of course, the respawn tubes have to be in operating condition, but if they're available, then defenders can respawn there.

Hrm, this is cool too for defense. Guess we'll have to toss the respawn tubes or camp them, could always just take the gen out I guess.

phalanx · 06-11-2003, 08:23 AM

that last point about the "defenders respawning at hacked facilities" sounds like post-hack activity will become a little messy for the attackers heh

arent some cc's on the same level as the tubes?

TimberWolf · 06-11-2003, 10:05 AM

Hmmm, I am debating with my self, again, if these imporvments and addons is worth paying $50 up front and then $13 a month.

VeryGrimm · 06-11-2003, 11:47 AM

Phalanx, sounds more to me like we'll just have to send a team in to keep the spawn tubes down whenever we're heading in for a hack. It'll make ghost hacking a lot less profitable, that's for sure.

SmackDab · 06-11-2003, 12:12 PM

TW YES, it's fun.

Myria · 06-11-2003, 12:24 PM

OUch I dont know how I feel about the Towers having NTU's. And the 5 min hack time on towers. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

But Damn being able to spend outfit points will rock!!!
