I would like a new mech factory map,where you could have an extremely hot foundry area with molten metal and a cooler junkyard area with scattered mech parts, mech stalls like you see on the trucks in alpine where maybe pilots could hide to ambush.im sure others could add ideas.

Good god why would you fight IN one of the few factories that can actually build mechs? If you're taking that planet you want the factory intact.

Yeah what Narcissistic Martyr said. Sounds a bit against the lore...

[IraqiWalker]

It's also in the lore that a major boatload of those factories were destroyed. Not all with Orbital bombardment.

So it's feasible that fighting can happen inside the factories.

Remember, the IS destroyed so many factories in the first, and second succession wars, that Double heatsinks became Los-tech.

Yes IN the 1st and 2nd succession wars when everyone was nuking everyone or using biological weapons to slaughter entire planets. Only people left that do that kind of damage are comstar. Yes, sometimes in the 3rd succession war a massive invasion force would capture a planet with a factory on it only to have to destroy it when a massive counter attack occurred. But a company sized raid? These are the most heavily guarded and most precious facilities in entire factions.

Who said it was a raid? Could be this is a full on capture?

A company (12 mechs+ support) is a bit small to capture a world with a mech factory. The remaining mech factories tend to be on heavily defended worlds and with a couple of exceptions far from the boarders. If you're going for a capture, it just doesn't make sense to be fighting inside a mech factory. I guess this kind of thing could work if it were a destruction mission or heavily focused CW type thing but not as an area to just fight. Even then the bigger problem is that there just aren't that many mech factories left. Certainly not enough that you'd be fighting in them on a regular basis.I could see something like the OP's idea being used in the Factory solaris map with molten metal for aesthetic purposes though. That would be freaking sweet.

Vellron2005. I like his idea, and until you have a PGI emblem attached to your name, please allow others to have the freedom to do posts as they wish.

Now for the original poster. I think your idea is great, so much in fact that I'm going to hit the Like button.

[Vellron2005]

Just wanted to show there allready is a thread about this.. no need to spam the forums with extra work for mods.. I like his idea too, posted a very similar one in that thread..

[Kalimaster]

I don't consider his idea spam. It is a reasonable request, and he has the right to post it they way he wants. Subject Closed.

Then make it one that is not functional and already torn up a tad. Then you can fight inside a factory all day.
