Also can you say what Upgrades you want

[Egomane]

I have no idea what this poll is about. Please tell us a bit more, so we can form an opinion.

[Thorn Hallis]

Seems like english isn't Wulfbanes mother tongue.

Or he's just drunk. ^^

[Egomane]

I'm fine with a google or bing translation, if it is to hard for him to explain in english. We can try to put that together somehow. But to have a poll without any information is a tough nut.

[Thorn Hallis]

I think the poll might be based on the assumption that mercenry units get something like an upgradeble HQ.

If this sort of thing would be eligible to the Clans then it is painfully obvious what the answers should be. The Clan owns the base... Also, since the game is based on a 1:1 time ratio with Real Life, base upgrades should take longer than a day, I would say at least a week if not longer...

Once a corp or whatever takes it, it should be their corps and then you can upgrade it xp gained etc. All upgrades should be taken out or extremely reduced when you loose it and someone else takes it. It should take around a week to upgrade something In my opinion but this could lessen if there are a lot of upgrades or they do similar to the mech repair thing.

I'd rather base out of a dropship. As long as it has functioning showers and sanitary equipment... there can be too much of a "warrior's odor" for real...

[Wulfbane]

mainly this is hiting at the claners and corp. this about if base are allowed. how can you get them or should they go to the faction and corps. next if you were doing upgrades. how would you want to pay for them. still keep the topic going.

Why have a normal dropship when you can have an overlord

[Dragorath]

upgrades should differ on what you are doing. canon towers for sure longer than a hangar....

[verybad]

No reason for time to upgrade, just bring in modular premade parts. It's not a luxury hotel, it's a bunch of relatively armored mobile buildings with some elecronics and a few turrets (I think). Honestly, a heavy engineering vehicle could just drop these off as needed. I would say not upgradable during a fight, but certainly between them.

Overlords don't exactly grow on trees....

As for why or why not base out of a dropship, they're very valuable units, in most cases, it's best to keep them in space so they can continually move around. They may not be very easy to land in an Urban or Mountainous region.

Similiar to modern transport ships, it's more economic to keep them doing what they're supposed to be doing...moving stuff around. Not on the ground doing nothing. Even a small dropship is about the price of a Battallion of mechs. Large ones cost more than a regiment.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see Dropships in the game, just not as standard bases. They're pretty rare units, even post clan invasion.

[Wulfbane]

True to that but what of the chance of space warfare. and blockading a planet. ok the second idea was dum but what if.

Yep, Houses and Clans would have their base come out of the military budget.
Mercs would have to either buy or get on the good side of a House or Corporation.

[Kenyon Burguess]

i think if your lucky enough to own a planet your base will prolly be snug up to the factories your supposed to be defending/owning. im hoping there will be lots of upgrades available for the defense of those factories

Remember, destructible environments. If you're really careful, you could come out with a base that's upgraded virtually intact. If you should happen to destroy something, obviously the repair would be to whatever basic standard your faction uses.

[Dranon]

I like the idea of a base but what if there is no one there to defend it?

[Tatius Pryde]

Managing bases could be done by players, it would be difficult with multiple planets however.
unless every unit/faction/lance had a base but i dont know how they would implement any of it.
