Dropships LZs

Post by kael224 » 08 May 2017, 14:51

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):Allow the dropships to move from the LZ1 to the LZ2 or vice versa.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):It will help to don't waste time , if the dropship 1 is already in planetside and we have marines who need to be evacuate in the LZ2.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):Example:We move the dropship 1 from the LZ 1 to the LZ 2 in less time than the dropship 2 (in Almayer ) to the LZ2 , but we have a longer cd in the LZ 2 with the dropship1 to the Almayer.

This, would cause confusion.

I don't like cute things.

Good hunting.

Although this IS possible, I've seen vie seen it before, it would also reduce the meta for all parties involved, I'd just add a Shitton more LZs for pilots to land at, but there are so many things that could go wrong, such as: A dropship landing on top of another dropship, RIP round progression. Also, this might cause some confusion among baldie pilots.

I think it could work if the dropship would wait until the other leaves the LZ and the pilot could change the destination midflight. So if the LZ is already occupied, PO can land on the other one.

EDIT: I also think it would be nice to rename the topic to "Allow dropships to land on both LZs" or something similar.

This would cause issues with how dropships currently function. If there were more than two LZ's per map this could work, as of right now, it does not. Denied.
