imo BvB battles should be long, hard and expensive - but the fights are epic and the rewards are immense.

If we just "scrap" the scrap parts and replace them with credit drops of equal value, then everything works great. Let people repair on the fly using credits, for a premium, or dock at an AI base and repair for cheaper. This solves the two main problems, i.e. availability and size of scrap parts.

The base issue is huge. Bases not dropping loot could mean i can sit on my ass and wait for you to kill 1 kit over an hour, casually go have a snack and come back and use a repair kit and you've made zero progress costing me very little and wasted an hour of your life. I wouldn't even have to check the kit to see if something dropped.

I guarantee that i have more repair kits than you have hours to bvb. Every team is essentially invulnerable.

Who says that bases don't drop loot anymore? I didn't see that anywhere but haven't tested it personally.

They don't drop loot. The whole base is the loot!

Excuse me do not over take my suggestion with your off topic argument go do that in someone else's thread this suggestion is not about wars or bvb so keep it out.

This whole topic is about pvp. Hence the name. PvP 99% of the time has war involved, and will involve the strategic and tactical attacks/defense of bases.

If you're going to talk about an action RTS thing like League of Legends, then make it the title. If it's going to say just "PvP", then get over a very broad spectrum discussion.

And you're a little late. I shall pull out my archived topic on it.

I am i didnt realise you made the thread and i believe this is a suggestion thread so far from the spam in my post with 3 of you making comments about bvb and pirating i have yet to see a suggestion so who is at wrong here?
so make a suggestion or GTFO
And who said anything about making it like LoL if you read my original post i clearly states Arena like WoW no towers no creeps no nexus to kill just each other learn you games mate.

Meh, cba to post my topic now that I've talked to Jeff_L about Action RTS's. He said more like WoW's Battlegrounds rather than LoL's Fields of Justice.

Dead BS engineer isn't exactly a good idea. It's extremely weak to mining...like the Overunderminer. Sitting on drones won't work either. That weapon is ethereal.

If the BS has shield bank to prevent being one shotted, a sniper would just pound the BS into non existence. His drones do diddly squat as he's augged for radar+tractoring, not survival or drone augged.

isn't that when it would be the job of the other squad members to keep the engi alive? odd man out scenario (if that's what is still being discussed with seers) could still be a team match.

IMO bases don't fall under the category of PvP. Those are team wars and considering how difficult it can be to kill a good base, I think that bases should still drop gear.

bases still do drop gear, i havnt heard to the contrary (yet)
