So i had some free time, and thanks to my *cough* great *cough* internet speed i couldn't get online. So i decided to make an alternative base for EU1. Now this is just something i made in some free time i had so i don't really care if it doesn't get used but if it does i'm happy to help. And of course it's entirely up to whoever it's up to to decide whether it gets used or not. Here are some screenshots: As you can see it's not yet finished. The billboards don't display any message yet, the arsenal-guys aren't arsenals yet, some H-barriers have some weird angles, ... Let me know what you guys think about it.

If a mortar gunner is online you can ask him to send some flares to the AO. Same goes for a grenadier, he can shoot flares too. And as far as i know AI can't see through the dark better than we can. But if there happens to be a spartan online and everyone is walking around with their IR lasers on i wouldn't be surprised if an enemy jet suddenly starts doing gun runs on their positions. And people log off for many reasons, for example they can't take a sniper rifle as a medic or an admin doesn't spawn something for them. I personally like the night, it's easy to see where your rounds are going as a machine gunner. Just my opinion.

@PiranhA you don't happen to have another key lying around do you? I've watched @Gamerbug's first 2 videos and feel like giving it a go.

I'm more for options 3 and 2. Yes it is hard to get the UAVs in the air on eu1, but not impossible. And considering how a UAV operator together with the FSG gunner can clear out an entire AO without actually setting foot in the AO, i think it should be rather hard to get them in the air. On top of this it also gives some more incentive for UAV operators to be a bit more careful with their UAVs and not fly them over a fresh AO at 500m.

Well i have to admit that i also fly with 2-3 people in the back of a GH. Partially because the hummingbird is rather rare to come across (on EU2 at least, no clue how often it spawns on 1). But also because people are impatient. If i wait at base for 5-6 people (with my motor turned off) people start jumping out and going into other choppers. So to add to cryos request: i'd love to see the hummingbird on EU2 more (maybe have it spawn at base? With a long respawn timer (like 15 minutes)? )

The bug with the teleport stuff isn't helping either. Well, you don't really need to get really high. The blackfish has more than enough flares and can take a lot of hits. totally agree Well the infantry one was useful to do mass evac. But seeing how in I&A3 AO spawn practically next to each other, it's no longer needed. I don't really think it comes in handy for other stuff either because people can just teleport to the fobs and take for example the mohawk or the huron (if their fobs were unlocked). The vehicle one could be useful for transporting the marshalls and the unarmed hunters. And as far as i know apex vehicles don't block people (that don't have apex) from joining. There are still people without for example the heli dlc and they can also join just fine even with the huron being at its fob.

I believe i've seen the a blackfish on EU2 at the fob at the main airfield (can't remember the name right now). And i've never seen it being used to be honest. Although on EU1 i'd be more useful to transport (unarmed) ifrits, because on EU2 we can just sling the prowlers.

(I'm not saying that some parents of the current generation can't do this, i wouldn't want to step on anybodies toes here)

This is just me taking a wild guess but I believe admins have real lives too. So it can happen that there is no admin online. And if there is one online on TS he might be AFK for a minute or 2 to go, for example, to the toilet. Should we forbid them to do this? Chain them to the their computer perhaps? I'll have to admit that it frustrates me too when someone is TKing and there is no admin but as I said admins have a real life, so I just record and file a player report on the forums. By the way I don't think EU1 has a TK problem. And if you wanted to become an admin there is a hiring subsection on this forum, with all the conditions you have to meat to become an admin.

Bulb told me you disconnected about 5 minutes before i joined. We had the same problem but we did get a pilot about 10-15 minutes after i joined. When i joined yesterday I thought of something. At the moment the base is at the south-center Island. It's a fairly large base compared to EU1 with a decent runway and stuff like that. Now what i thought might be a solution is to move the base to the south-eastern Island to the airfield there (I believe its name is St-gorge or something like that?) I haven't checked it out in the editor (lot's of real life stuff going on) but if i remember correctly it only is a tad bigger then the one we are using now so it will still fit in the invade context (imo). Now if staff thinks this is a good idea i am willing to make the template for the base. It might take me a while because i don't know when i'll get a bit more time to game but i can probably get it done made in a week or 2.
