B8 Station

Apr 24, 2005 smittens link
Okay, I'm sure I'm going to get the "Let the devs have peace! They've done enough already!" which I agree with, but for the future...

After one of my longer nights of VO-ing, I had a dream that I jumped into B8. Not only were their cap ships, but an old station had appeared there too! There were man-able turrets in it, but all the docking ports just lead to the inside, which was virtually hollow except for crossbeams that went from one side to another at odd angles. It was really the perfect non-normal battleground, with many players hiding in the cracks and others just dodging shots while trying to avoid the crossbeams.

Or maybe I was predicting the future!

All that beer's finally gettin to you head Smittens. You can stop, we have faith!

No, really though, even in his alchohol-inspired-delusions, Smittens seems to have hit a jackpot. No station guards or nothing, just an ALMOST abandoned shack of a station. That you can heal and reload in. Please?

And about that station in H-5, when is that going to leave the status of prop?

Heh. We'll be back to the alpha in B8!

Far more tempting than you know :/

Let's have a station in B8, but it must be utterly abandoned with no purpose other than to provide a difficult fighting area. I dislike the idea of being able to repair and reload there. Battles would be very frustrating.

Yah, repair station in B8 with the current instant repair would be very annoying.
Apr 24, 2005 smittens link
Yeah, thanks for the support Person, but I find it annoying enough when every 30 minutes or so a capship arrives and damage means nothing unless you catch your opponent offgaurd.

or kill him outright.

Yeah, I'm down with a station in B8. what about one of those old-style non-component ones we used to have everywhere? Not the Ceres, but the one after it with six docks. Put it in there, have half the wheel blown off and only one or two of the docking ports active. Voila. Temporary Pirate Base of Doom!

I actually don't mind having a "repair station" in B8. Cuz frankly,
it often makes it EASIER to get kills. They go for the dock, your buddy launches rockets... poof.

and this is why i never dock at the capital ships and instead flee to L-2 or D-14 if i decide to go rearm/repair shape.

of course in a rangarok its hard to run away anyhow, so i usually just stay and die.
