Webb Posted March 8, 2017 The current FOBs passively generate construction points. In A9, say I am in a compound with a Squad and I place a radio. Does that radio generate construction points slowly in order to build a HAB? Or do we require a supply run in order to get the construction points? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco Posted March 9, 2017 I hope they remove the passive generation, but there's nothing in the changelog so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevolT Posted March 9, 2017 The new logistics system will not be very different from the current one with the same passive generation of points... Let's hope for the best, prepare for the worst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then logistical system will make sense. I'm not so sure I would like to see it completely removed. But, I definitely would like to see it slowed down significantly though. Maybe to a fourth of what it is now. Logistics need to have a much more critical role to where delivering supplies is a must for each team to be doing. The way it is now you only need to do logistical runs if your going all out building a base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevolT Posted March 9, 2017 Maybe disable passive generation for non-activated FOBs, but leave it for the FOBs that were supplied? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tastey Wabbits Posted March 9, 2017 Thinking about it some more. Removing all passive generation from the radios would be the easiest and most effective solution to promoting the use of logistical trucks. Otherwise people can still place random radios all over and then eventually come back later to build HAB's with the passive points they have gained. At least with no passive generation a team would have to risk getting logistics across the map to supply that radio. Giving the other team a chance to intercept and destroy those incoming supplies. Encouraging ambushes on roads. Which could in return lead into having to have protection detail of some form for logistical trucks to help them safely bring supplies to really far distanced FOBs. Effectively creating some kind of a convoy aspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logistics need to have a much more critical role to where delivering supplies is a must for each team to be doing. The way it is now you only need to do logistical runs if your going all out building a base. Current version you still need the logi run to let the FOB spawn stuff in timely. Games are still lost if you didn't get that first supply run. And while I can agree with removing points generation, y'all make it sounds like it cranks out points like a broken gumball machine. It would probably be 6-8 minutes before a FOB would get the 400-500 points needed for the HAB. (Current point generation is like 1 per 2 seconds right?) Then it would need an SL to place it, after they were transported there. Hell, they might've drove in with a logi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plissken Posted March 10, 2017 If point generation is removed, then infantry maps will be pretty lame. Also, +1 for nerfing rallies before nerfings fobs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenrique Posted March 10, 2017 I think he meant trucks are an easy target and easy to destroy, specially in the hands of a unexperienced squad, so your team may end up with no trucks and thus no FOBs at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see a problem there. If you let the enemy destroy your assets, you deserve the long run from main. Edited March 10, 2017 by MultiSquid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walderschmidt Posted March 13, 2017 And find a way to give points to the guy driving the logi truck. Reward good behavior through positive reinforcement and make it apparent that one is helping out the team. 1. Points for dropping up supplies 2. Points for picking up new supplies 3. Points for each new spawn at FOB (that he activated when he dropped off supplies?) Wald Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aniallator Posted March 13, 2017 +1 to remove it completely. At the very least lower the generation rate dramatically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
