Ideas for construction.

Recommended Posts

OK, so right now base building doesn't work. It's something that a lot of people want, but it's also something that seems to get abused all to hell (see: razor wire in every apartment building).

How about implementing the "HQ commander" building mode from ARMA? Lets say you have to find a backhoe. It's really slow and vulnerable so it would be an adventure just getting it to your construction site.

Once you get your backhoe to where you're going to build your base, you have to deploy it's little hydraulic legs. At that point it's your stationary "HQ" like in ARMA. When you go into build mode, that would be how you can use your razor wire, tank traps, sandbags, and other stuff. Instead of paying the money for stuff like in ARMA, you pay with materials gathered from the map. You and your buddies go collect stuff and fill it up to build.

This would allow the teamwork-collection aspect as well as precise, planned base construction that's a lot more complex than we can currently construct. Maybe even put in some very basic buildings made from scrap metal and some other stuff.

This would allow you to really "own" a chunk of the server I think. There's a lot of risk, but the prize is great.
