[Suggestion] Remove all small bases and add this as new continents

    PS2 at it's core is about large battles, yet whenever a base is taken most of the defenders leave until the attackers finally reach the next large facility. On top of that the vehicle phase between bases is often not there as the defenders don't have the time, space or safety to build up a proper vehicle force to counter the attackers.

    To remedy this, we can add one extra continent for each existing one, and these are just added to the rotation without replacing the current versions. These continents are exactly like our current one's except that all smaller bases are removed.

    Large facilities like AMP stations, Biolabs, Techplants but also larger bases like Howling Pass or Indar Excavation would remain on the map. Between these bases instead of smaller bases only 1 or 2 open points are placed where a PMB can be build. These open points can have nothing at them, or a micro-base that can be enhanced with PMB construction. A micro-base consists out of a tiny mostly underground spawnbunker and one vehicle spawn, but could also include a tiny wall or some turrets out in the open, placed in such a way that the construction system can easily enhance it.
    Potentially the devs could even add an indestructible Silo at these micro bases that is owned by the owners of that area.

    This means that whenever a large facility falls, there's just a large vehicle battle before the next large facility is reached. The PMB system can be used to slow down the enemy advance and is also vital for providing closer vehicle access for the attackers or defenders. It also puts PMB's in a position they should always have been in: Players spawning at the PMB and actively defending it, rather than PMB's being automated murderholes.
