I am not advocating ANY terminal restrictions. There would be no need as long as the painted Zones are far enough away from TPs and each other not to bottleneck the island, anywhere (this includes turret range). If you want to put 10 terminals in one zone, go for it. NO terminal caps. If your corp/alliance controls all the Painted Zones on island anyway, why have terminal cap restriction? Enemy must break into one of your zones if they want to set up an attacking beachfront terminal.

And of course there should be MULTIPLE Zones Painted around the island. Each island has it's own size and shape so Manually Painted zones may be more or less depending on the island. Variation is a good thing.

And Devs, I know you have said no more sheer walls, but for testing this concept do us all a favor and set that aside for expediency. Painted Zones is large enough a change and should be tested in isolation.

And you keep saying "somethings wrong with ECM/Supperssion" "Something to see here" but the fact is that you have not made your case.

Burden is on you. And that you lose heavy fleets is not proof.

No way you read the whole thread. Anyone advocating Flat islands is advocating to just shut down the servers.

Also, though you are missing lots of suggestions the one I most want to see tested is quoted in my signature from about 4-5 pages back.

If Devs think it would be 'easy' to manually paint terraformable zones, then the 'easiest' thing to do would be try that with the Old Mechanics and lets discuss from there. On test server, start with old Gamma Mechanics only on painted portions of some Gamma map ...then adjust from there.

I guess I'm like the only one who thinks this is a fair idea

That is different issue. But as a separate issue it is in High demand. Increased market orders and remote buy/sell definite needs in this game especially with nerfed SpT.

I still think you should be able to "click" remove from your inventory, so that you can keep things organized. From player perspective they are gone. My addition is those things go into some type of delayed recycle somewhere in the terminal (out of your sight) ...anything.

The point is not to make asset organization harder. I like specific fixes for specific problems. Not broad brushes that throw out all the good parts.

A lock-out is fair compromise in old Gamma base model. We'll see if such mechanic would work in new.

I know not everyone is for this. My point is simply about incentives for warfare. Not everyone want warfare.

Except remote delete from Gamma

-1

Unless Delete is tied to some type of delayed recycle plant mechanic, where deleted items stay for couple weeks before actually disappearing. In Gamma effect would be time for attackers to loot.

Off Gamma it would make no difference.

Not every individual has the same opinion in an alliance Mr

TMI

I don't understand the flip of Alpha 1 and 2 islands.

Actually, at least OP has fresh idea.

I like the idea of making things bigger. But there is that pesky Single Tile Issue to compete with so we can't have larger Bots as is.

The alternative is to focus inward and get more out of our Single Tile limitations. More Bots is the first solution in my option followed very closely by more mods. If we are going to add "eye" slots and start making mods and bots focus on specific capabilities that could be a good direction. The more we focus on the details of each single bot the 'larger' it becomes despite the Single Tile.

So my above post was premature, thus deleted.

Repeating the phases "nerf ewar" and "buff sensor strength" over and over is not a "discussion."

But hey "nerfing ewar one thread at a time" ...and I know who did not start this thread.

What this game really needs is MORE *** BOTS

More options

More tools

Lets hear some fresh ideas from the nerf-ewar-clan that does not involve theorycraft-spreadsheet-max-ep

Modular, mount turrets on top of walls or in front.

and I will not stop requesting manually Painted Zones for terraforming as best conceptual solution to ending the madness of bottle-necking TPs and other island choke points.
