Turrets on bases

I think the best way to implement this idea is to have no turrets on normal bases. Instead have special bases you can build that have no doors and no other use (could make them refs perhaps) except as a stationary turret you can go into through the station transfer screen.

This way normal bases are still vulnerable to attack and you get to have gunstations to hold down territory.

I was sitting at my computer this morning looking over the programming projects that I am supposed to have done by 5pm for my job and I happened accross this thread..... /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" /> Thanks getting me going!!

I think it would be great to have a turreted base. Perhaps not ON a tech base though. How about a con to build a stationary turret base that takes a regular asteriod. Your com would then have to plan to put this base close enough to your tech base for D. You could buy range/damage upgrades and it would add another aspect to the planning and strategy. The placement of the asteriods could become even more strategic. You would have to plan you direction of attack, even more strategy.

Dogbones has already tasked me with something to work on, and if I ever get it done /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" /> , I wouldn't mind looking at this on.

i know this is old but here is my 0.02f

cut and paste parts of /IGC/ShipIGC.cpp (note the commented out code around line 1500 to limit a turret's movement in ExecuteTurretMove) into StationIGC.cpp, fiddle with the base models adding "stationship hard points" /w the restricted movement (clank) code back in.

now camps/attacks may have to EDIT use a "safe approach"

i have a idea make the turents mountibal on the bases but make it a late game tec with a longer range say 2k and 5 max on 1 tec base only 3 on a op and no on a tel or ref + they have limited amo say only 2 racks and you must purchas more to use them agen say only $500 a pack of 2000 sheles with a 60sec purchas time. is this a good idea or not plese tell me. it should make it fair but balanced and usibal but may be rily touf to impliment . and make the turents killibal with only about the hp of a hvy scout .

welcome to Allegiance

first, learn the game before making suggestions and spamming your opinion on everything

second, use spell check

Download and use Firefox. It comes integrated in the browser.

It also comes in Chrome.

Not sure about Opera, but you really shouldn't be using IE anyway. I have way to many problems with it, and both FF and Chrome run like a charm for me

FF or dictionary (omg, wtf, you want me to use a BOOK?! yes). In general, if you want your opinion respected, try to sound coherent and intelligent. That is doubly true for this community.

Necroposting doesn't help you either, btw /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
