It would take YEARS before they get to user-inspired maps...lol, we only have 4 right now.

By the sound of things, we'll be at 6 mid-year, but I don't have any faith that we'll see more maps by years end, and if we do, they'll all be earth-based maps.

I think I puked a little.

I've posted ideas and suggestions for maps months ago, but it got buried.

I felt as if they would take some of the advice, but by the sound of 'alpine' and 'desert', we're not getting
anything sci-fi creative.

PGI needs new people fast.

you're aware mechs have "submarine" pods they can use for underwater excursions and fighting.

The question is: Would the devs let the comunity make the maps? Else, we see a lot of "Hero-Mechs" bevor we see a 5th, 6th or a 7th map....

Practical yes. Technical no. They have a silicate/metal core.

Re: A Gas Giant Map.
By the time the mechs reached a density thick enough for them to walk on, they'd be completely surrounded by roughly the same density... Meaning that they'd basically have to walk through a "solid". It just wouldn't work, regardless of how many scuba tanks you try to strap onto them.

Care to propose another means of mobility for a bi-pedal 30-100 tonne machine, while they're completely surrounded by a very dense gas?

I really hope you don't say swim.

Farmlands
Map Size: (Very) Large

Normal gravity, clear weather.
Key Features: Crop fields outlined by trees to prevent wind erosion. Farm buildings, barns (all destructible). Livestock wandering at pastures, driven mad by the din of battle and stomped flat by invading giant Battlemechs.

I only would bomb and besiege your venus till you where disapeared.
To fight there is only expensive and it musn´t be... so, good starving my friend.
Oh, i forgot .... no water... what a mess............
Every place you will cool down for represent your legs my sensors will show me....
this will start a single bomb..... anyhow i would win.
Belive me this scenario is more for starfights in orbit not for battlemech on ground.

Having maps that represents battlefields would be nice........



Maps with old battlefields and decaying hulks of old mechs and other battlefield equipment. That would be badarse! I would love the moon map also.

Lot of great ideas here. I think it would be cool if any future lunar or other extra-atmospheric maps do without any sounds outside your Mech. Since sound doesn't travel in a vacuum.

What if i take it a month after your last trickle water? ....and you battlemechs and you weapons and your equipment....and your wifes, oops i prefer the fresh one...

Sorry i am a steiner. When i can spare a mech i will do it. So i will have a lot of them if i need it......
