[Suggestion] Disable Crown cap

    I'm sick and tired of the times when we (or any faction on any server really) have a decent pop bonus and tear across the map in a few large zergs, capping every base as we go without any trouble from the enemy forces, up until we get to...the Crown...

    Once the zergs all reach the crown they all just camp there for the rest of the day and the other 2 factions just go around and back cap everything back to the holding factions warpgate, and the server pretty much freezes until another faction manages to get hold of the Crown, then the previous faction starts back-capping the new holding factions bases while they camp there instead. Briggs VS had a 47% pop today and we had the entire right side of Indar purple, until they reached the Crown and the whole push just stopped...

    My suggestion for the meantime is, (until a fix or continent locking is brought in) don't remove the hill and the buildings or anything, just remove the ability for any faction to own it. Leave the consoles to cut down on coding work, but either disable them or make them all neutral so any faction can use them, or even make them so an infil has to hack them in order for that faction to be able to use them, remove the turrets as there won't be any point for keeping them with this setup (and half of them are bugged anyway so they either lock in overheat or register as an enemy turret so you can't repair them and your teammates shoot you...)

    This would make it so the factions can still fight there and use it as a staging point for spreading out further into the map, but it would make it pointless to just camp there as there's nothing to defend so more people would actually move on and stuff would actually happen on Indar...

    This would change nothing, the fights would still remain there.

    Or move to TI alloys.

    Ti Alloys is a lot harder to successfully camp than the Crown, which means they would have to fight a lot harder if any faction wanted to hold it, it wouldn't be just a simple cert farm as the crown is now.
