You know... How cool would it be if you could encounter players bases?
Have turrets and defense systems in their bases
A little bit more than SE chances. Maybe x2 x3?
Followers protect bases. Charisma use!!
Intelligence + repair + science use for robots turrets and traps. Force fields or whatever..

Puts a whole other aspect on crafting. Etc etc.

The more resources you through at your base the better armed you are to fight off those pesky raiders.

I would just fill my tent with landmines, atleast around my chests. Although I think we should be able to encounter player bases during the Pre-Wipe madness at least.

The idea is good. Question is if it prolongs the wipe ?:)

Scrap the Charisma, robots and other useless stuff, we are before wipe..

How it could work:

- When a player enters a base or tent (regardless if theirs or not), there is a chance (small, like 1%) that a (or more) flare will be lit in that base on a random location on the ground, making the tent/base public for some time. (and a max time of like 5min) (Chance per player in case of groups)
- Player gets some kind of message that the base is in danger.
- If the flare is found and unlit, or destroyed, or whatever, (scienced, idk), the tent/base returns to private state.
- Until the flare persists, (max 5 min), other players can see this base/tent on worldmap and enter at will. (unless optional part bellow)
- If you entered someone else's base recently via flare and not party/known location, your chances of lighting a flare in your own base will be increased for some time, to make the loot hot. (cumulative effect in case of re-enterring bases via flare, up to a max 50%)

Optional:

- To not enforce this cruelty on new or PvE players, players need to flag themselves to be target for this via an NPC or command (no way back), but only flagged players will be able see and enter others bases via flare. (Even if they are in a party, only the players who are flagged, can enter the location) However if flagged players enter others bases via group, that base/tent has the chance to go public as well with even higher chances, without giving the benefit of the owner to enter/see others bases, unless he flags himself for base raping. It's something like a PvP flag regarding your bases/tents.

If you don't like the flare thing, a random tree could start to burn for 5 min or until u pour water on it, which ofc, others could investigate...

Hope I cut down on the alt exploitable-ness a bit.

Wanted to add:

- If a player base raped (entered flared base/tent) someone, guards at public locations will attack them for 1hour, so they are forced to stash their loot on their own locations with the possibility of counter rape for 5 minutes.

Post by: Slowhand on September 04, 2016, 08:43:04 am: How do you transfer stuff from base raper to storage alt?
Title: Re: Base flare rape event/modification until wipe! (small? modification)
Post by: Wichura on September 04, 2016, 12:08:44 pm: You keep stuff on storage alts, base remains empty, being only a meeting point for all these alts. Not very handy but possible to manage. Of course MyOwnBaseScoutAlt with 10 PE will be useful, to log in first and check if nobody is wandering around before you let the mules in. Reminds me good ol' 2238, at some stage I had like 6 alts to move logistics on and only 2 that I actually played with. This is not how you recognize a good game.

If it's a matter of choice (an option in terminal to make my base possible to find or not) then yeah, why not. Some fancy death traps could add some flavor.

Post by: Slowhand on September 04, 2016, 05:06:36 pm: I see, this introduces a lot of fixes, like, cannot log out over encumbered, etc, but probably not worth bothering with, as K's attitude toward such things is, keep it simple, do not make stuff that people can find a way to exploit, bc they will find a way to exploit it.

Imo the things with alting destroys this game even more, except the fact that more numbers are shown on statistics.

Ty for the insight, this is obviously to bothersome till wipe or even after, gl, hf :)

sounds interesting
"You encounter: Abaddoned Base" at first look looking like a normal player base but with some decorations or some interesting stuff inside.. maybe some memorial like base of someone who was important in FOnline community

Would work.

Additional option is possibly a loot drop in a footlocker or off a Raider that is a map to a base or stash.

Not unless the AI can cry about it. It's extremely difficult to grief a computer.
