A timer between time a HQ is destroyed and when another can be dropped would be required to make something like this work... as for low level healing bases... declare war and make your own low level chars to drop seige kits, if its so important said kits die.

A way to instantly locate a HQ of another team would be quite nice as well. Something like a command "/findHQ Progess" and it would give you the galaxy location. I don't think HQs are something that should be.. hidable.

no i don't like the hq finding command , i think it would ruin alot of aspects in a war.

Good bye another use for SD and Seer if that went in.

Yes, because lots of people fly SDs and Seers with t20 gear looking for hostile kits, rather than say a wing4 or other speed ship on any kind of character... right? Honestly, its just mundane to have to fly through 30+ galaxies to hunt down HQs, regardless of this change.

Which is again, why I wish that they just made agrod bases red on the mini-map.

Your mini-map only updates if you visit the galaxies anyways (iirc) or you dock in Team HQ (which means somebody else has to scout.. team effort... SDs.. Seers.. blah) so theres still scouting and stuff going on. But you can see where you shouldn't go..

Anyways...

There seems to be so many downsides with this idea which leads me to believe that I'd rather not see this put into the game.

Brilliant idea Jeff


It just may need a little tweeking. HQ kits are cheap and dropping a T9 HQ kit or losing it, is no great effort or loss.

Still it is still a great idea



btw re pvp ranges I found to my cost that my level 117 alt was not beyond pvp reach of the level 1k+ in the recent war (w3 + declared war)

anyone know HOW to work out if an alt is under pvp range

This will require that the HQ not be destroyed right

Ok, question whats to stop the team going to the furthest point in wild w3 north or south flying out 200k or so laying a kit and putting stealth augs on it? after all most of the pirates are either SD or Seer so they wont have much problem finding it.

Otherwise really good idea, every pirate must have a Den to store his loot.

That would be considered "Caching"

Maybe make a buildable team aura for PvP, so you can't just drop a HQ and automatically start pvping

Threaten

HQ kits have high visability and even with stealth augs they will still be visible from a few k to normal ships.

The number of bases in a gal is shown on your map, if there is an extra one then its time to call in your teams radar seer.

I like the idea of someone trying to hide their HQ.

It would be a good idea though if you a given teams gals were colour coded on your map.

I am not sure what u meant by "caching" but the the prohibition on laying secret caches only applies when you lay them to make it impossible for someone else to own a galaxy.

I tend to agree with the overall idea after all all pirates need a home too.

I didn't say anything about the stealth :p
