Allow mappers to alter tickets/resources in real time

I don't think I see your point. What does happen?

 

Let's all talk about Escort.

But really, I would love to see this for Empires.
The increase of tickets/resources by a trigger will be amazing.
I could easily see it be used for many things.

Even an increased bleed when all 6 flags are captured in Shadows would be great.

 

Would it be possible to have the "controlling a dock gives you x resource every y minutes" by having resource nodes somewhere below/outside the map? If a team controls the flag that belongs to the dock, every time the dock "ticks" to give resources, a fully built refinery is spawned for the team at the resource node offscreen and then that refinery ticks several times for a few thousand res and then blows up?

Can that be done with the current system?

 

That can, probably

 

Current flag system can give x resources every sec. It can't stop giving res though

 

I would like to see advanced, or at least RPG's for NF on escort.

 

Potentially, yes. But it is an unnecessarily hacky approach, and has many limitations (complex entity setup makes it difficult for new mappers; cannot deduct res; cannot add tickets...)

 

I like this idea, it could be balanced simply by the mappers so theres no harm.

 

Meh?
the under the map res points... hm.... (hefts minez)

 

Tovarich, there's this thing called a failsafe, you can't ninemine things that are outside the map and 50 away.
