    Bump, and for the record. A few of the old base structures are in the game files! Along with a mesh of the alpha galaxy! :O Which I would understand if it was removed as it had an interior too! :O Also if anyone can direct me to where I can re-download a copy of the beta as I have a feeling there's some goodies in there too :)

    Would it fit a Lightning tank in it?

    Having a air transportable tank would both make the L have a unique defining feature, and be really cool for the paradrop enthusiasts.

    You know... its sad. The first post - that base resembles PS1 bases so much and I want it so bad.

    Then I remembered Higby is apparently in love with eSports (This game isn't an eSport, never will be. Maybe if you add DEFENSIBLE BASES WITH INTERIORS)


    Currently bases are overrrun in less than 10 minutes.

    yes it would have. It's identical to the galaxy in the death is no excuse trailer

    Yep. Mattherson Freyer AMP can change hands 4 times in under an hour.

    Quick question -

    HOW did this thread die the first time!

    In my limited PS1 experience, I remember just how hard and how much teamwork it REALLY took to capture bases and installations. I wish we could get that back.

    I agree that vehicle spam causes a lot of detrimental effects on gameplay and base assault as it is in it's current state. Large base installations, imho, should be long drawn out fights. Not vehicle blitzs and pure number pwnage.

    this has gotten so many likes and still bases are not defendable , nor was the vehiclespam/spawroom camp lessened in any way, yay!

    Holy Necro Batman! But in a good way, I love the way that base looks on page 1.

    That brings back memories of PS1. Why on Auraxis did they nerf the bases into what they are now?

    There is something seriously wrong when most base battles (in my experience) descend into vehicle and high explosive spam, and the defenders can do nothing about it.

    We had defensible bases once! Never forget!

    What do you mean 'slightly above'? When did CoD players develop intelligence?

    I would like to see this back as well. If they are worried about the walls, just have a specialized sunderer that can launch people in pods like in BF2142 to get over walls.

    The amount of brainstorming and effort that was in the forums in Beta was mind boggling. The research and imagination that was put out by the players everyday made me realize that the fans/players of Planetside are a special group of people. This passionate group of gamers only cared about getting their message across to the Devs and trying to help them realize that there was a special symbiosis between the two. Unfortunately alot of that effort fell on deaf ears. Months later and it definitely shows.

    Consider this another vote....for GREAT JUSTICE!

    (and those alpha builds I miss so...)

    Wow those bases look incredible!
    They must have removed them for a reason though

    This thread really makes me mad.

    Realizing that we had these designs and they were purposely thrown away... :mad:

    I was gonna make a long post explaining to people the modus operandi of SOE... but i'll keep it short:

    What better, than to have a game paid for and funded by PC gamers, made for their new console platform the PS4. GG enjoy your "Quality of life" whilst they finish work on porting over PS2 to the PS4. :3
