Topic: Remove internal island TPs from beta

not sure if this has been said b4 but. why not remove internal TPs from beta & place more HWYs on beta islands. this could slow down travel times across the islands to a certain extent & add more tactics to the game?

On the flip side allowing the players to build the HWY network could be a handy trade off.

i know not much info but was just a thought ide throw out smile

Re: Remove internal island TPs from beta

I do remember when 62nd used this tactic effectively, and yes CIR and friends cried out for the removal of such things.

OH then they adapted and started to effectively counter them.

Take a page from BOTH and LEARN to counter them.
DON'T QQ on the fourm's.

Re: Remove internal island TPs from beta

More highways would not hurt. Adding 1-3 long main highways to the island would be pretty neat, maybe connecting the different outposts and terminals in a way.

Re: Remove internal island TPs from beta

This is no QQ have i lost any miners recently? i think not.

Back on topic

As for taking longer well... thats bollox. if you could build a HWY route to & from where you wanted it the most. the travel time i believe would be about the same as walking across normal terrain  (without HWYs) & then using a internal TP.

this would as a by product eliminate a persons ability to to use internal TPs for protection from an enemy by jumping thru them continuously.

I challenge you to stop & look at the map of the beta island you live on & see if you were able to build your own HWYs that you would be able to get to & from your normal destinations at the very least as fast as you do now.

To those trolls who say about giving more time to log off. I say most of the time yall have to walk slowly over terrain to get to the miners. most of the time internal TPs are build in bad locations. Also islands that have good gate scouts will always alert ppl fast so no real difference. With internal TPs we know where you are going to come in & out of.
But if those were gone your movements can be more unpredictable. remember u can get off half way down a HWY. You cant do that on an internal TP.

Think out side of the box & you will find the ability for defenders & attackers to vary there movments & use HWYs & terrain will open up even more possible tactics.

I actually agree on this. +1. Stop fukcing b1tching about the walking part of the game already. It's fine, in fact, the beta's (As stated by OP) could use LESS TPs.
You walk in every game. Even eve online, though they have somewhat more fancy way of doing it there and you need to wait it out. Did you ever realise that on average every time you initialize warp in eve, you lose a minute of your game play? the *** warp acceleration and deceleration take close to 30 seconds.
