Marine Boarding

[Haphestus]

So as most of us know seige bases can be long, tiresome and annoying to most people on the server and recently i got to thinking, Why dont we have a marine boarding option for attacking bases. maybe something along the lines of:

/boardbase *basename* *how many marines to send over/all*

Base owners could also put Marines on thier base to defend it and such but at the cost of extra food.

thoughts?

Don't think the game engine supports this idea.

Nor should phrases replace actual gameplay.

Player Owned Base mechanics are not a part of the game engine

Then where do they come from? Huh?

I think its a great idea, but it wouldnt really help. Because of the need to balance timezones and such, base sieges HAVE to take a long time, so that one faction doesnt destroy the other factions bases while they are all asleep. Making base sieges take a long time was a design CHOICE.

Therefore this marine boarding idea would still have to take a long time, and in the end thier wouldnt be much difference.

Still a nice idea for realism's sake though.

So, then how is it FL?

No one said it wasn't Freelancer. But more specifically, that the playerbase system isn't part of the Freelancer Game Engine in response to your correct statement that the Freelancer Game Engine wouldn't support the Marine idea. However the homemade software plug-in called FLhook will support it. Hone is correct that usch thing implemented would only be for flavour and as a shortcut to being able to knock out a group's base any faster then they do now. As it is, it still is indeed possible to blow up a base while it's defenders are sleeping at home.
