Heli pads made of straw weaved so fine a 747 can land on it :) At the point of not trying to sound off with concern, but will there be some ability to lock out bases down? and or the vehicles we spend so much time getting.

For any who missed it, here is the relevant text from the april 26 report: A main concern posed by the OP of this thread is how easy it might be to raid bases. Given the modularity of base-building components, if someone makes a big enough base for a helicopter to land in then that's their own damn fault isn't it? It would be easy to erect obstacles, roofing, and even have a helipad which has it's own lockable door to prevent easy entry. Electricity is really starting to seem like it's going to be epic. Do you have any idea exactly how much control over electricity grids we are going to get? I did a small bit of research and it seems like a large enough base would require many generators linked together and to have some sort of power network controller/management device. Something like a "programmable logic controller" which could be programmed to turn generators on and off, manage the flows of electricity to certain parts of the electrical network (i.e turn the fridges off cause there's nothing inside them, or, send a signal over a specific radio signal to activate/deactivate the electrification of external defenses). If we can create larger grids and have good control over them then that would be supremely beneficial to the variability of what players can do with their base creations. Unfortunately, I don't have any details to share on this right now since the guys are still working on the design. From where I sit, I can see two whiteboards full of scriblings, sketches, and schematics (for base building) made by the designers, but the "final" decisions on this subject will most likely be revealed in future status reports. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, that's so tantalizing!!!! I do completely understand why it's not possible for even the designers themselves to say what the actual in-game products will be (they themselves don't yet know what' they're going to be able to pull off code-wise), So here's hoping that they have nothing but luck and success!!

Yeah, it would not be the best idea since these design ideas will (most likely) be tweaked and/or changed before being implemented in future builds. Of course, eventually there'll be more "reveals" of this as designs are solidified. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
