they're working on benifits for controlling bases and locking continents.

In the article it says "Also, keep in mind this will involve stuff like base benefits and what happens when people ‘lock down’ continents". I wonder if it will be completely positive.

[Sensei]

If they're giving serious thought to pop locks and stuff, I think it represents a real objective to work towards. Besides, there will be 3 continents. Not that they're beyond fucking it up and I doubt it will be without problems at first.

Yeah, guess I worded that poorly, was just excited. I wonder what WILL happen when they lock a continent. You can't just punish them for essentially winning a continent...

Edit 2:
Just read teh base benifits. Decresed spawn timers for facilities/outposts connected to biolabs (called it!)
Overcharged base turrets, longer overload times on facility generators for Amp Stations and
Access to MBTs for Tech planst! Now there's a game changer!

They read my mind on the biolabs. They read my fucking minds. Thank you SOE!

What's an MBT, btw?

And yeah, shotties are really, really OP atm. So i'm just playing with them until they nerf them
I didn't farm save up 6k aurax for nothing.

[timferius]

What's an MBT, btw?

Main Battle tank. Though apparently you'll always be able to buy them from the warpgate, but still a huge advantage

I actually would prefer my Faction to NOT own a tech plant then It's much easier to arrange impromptu tank convoys from the Warps.

[Sensei]

I thought you could already spawn main tanks at tech plants?

[Silent_Thunder]

No I think it means if you don't own a tech plant, you can't spawn tanks at any of the alternate tank spawns in the area, and have to form your convoys at the Warp.

[Neyvn]

If your on US server. Head to the far North Red Zone. NC are holding the Bio Lab up there...
About to get heavy...

[miauw62]

Are you in the outfit? Because nobody in the outfit is online at Thebe atm.

[TwilightWalker]

Is the outfit on Thebe? Or Leda? I get confused with all these wipes and renames and...other stuff.

[Duuvian]

Thebe as of last patch. I'm patching now.

[miauw62]

Yup, thebe. Most people have invite rights.

[Siquo]

Normally people hate mikespam, but when you're in a huge tank column and someone starts playing the A-team tune over local, this game'll make you go FUCK YEAH

        Frame rate shouldn't affect fire rate
        Infiltrators should not be able to fire while cloaked
        Ability system improvements to help protect against abilities getting stuck on or off
        Ammo boxes and mines should be more responsive
        Fixed an issue where players would get into a semi-dead state
        Resolved an issue where players would log in or spawn at a location in the middle of the zone
        Platoons should no longer get in a broken leaderless state
        Players should no longer spawn at zero health
        Removed a case where players could get weapons into an unusable state
        The heal and repair tools now have sticky targeting


    Weapons:

        All shotgun damage and range has been reduced

        Flak damage reduced by ~5%
        Repair tool is now 25% slower on vehicles

        A tuning pass has been done on tank turret controls. They should feel more responsive.
