Im in a rush, so if this is short thats why. Also, I dont know if this would go on this forum, but I cant see anywhere else to put it.


In the recent patch, player cities have been taken off the "closest facility" list. If your not cloned, you dont clone at a PCity. For example Dantoonie, all three outposts non player owned are on the left side of the map, and if you die on the other side while doing a mission, it can take alot of time to get your wounds back to normal, and shuttle.


So, what do I have to say? Currently Metopolitis size cities gain nothing, except more city "lots" for city structures, and more range. Give metropolitis cities the ability to get themselves on the "closest facility" list. However, mabye only two or three metropolitis cities can do this per planet. All metropolitis' sign up, and those with the highest population turn up first.


However, no faction aligned stuctures can be placed within 150 meters of the cloning facility.


Just my two cents.

I think one reason the Devs turned this off is because..


1) people were cloning in cities they had no idea existed


2) People were cloning in cities that were hostile to their faction and they would get kill-looped outiside the cloning center by a nearby dish turret.


I personally dont see the problem with the system they have now if it actually worked as intended. Currently, when people forget to clone in our city, they get sent to another Player City instead of a static city. Weird huh?

A no build zone wouldn't solve anything since you can still use medium homes to wall people in and force them through a choke point. The fix is the only logical thing to do until they create faction aligned cities, then I'd say allow neutral ones to appear on the list.

--This really sux. My city waslocated close to Ft. Tuskan specifically because we expected many to die there and res in our city.Then once theywere aware of itwe thought our cloning center would attract folks to come and clone here, even though we don't get a red cent off of it. Perhaps they might use the vendors in our town then.


--We even moved our city to get it to be the closest to Ft. Tuskan


--Just give the recently ressed person a five minute "no faction" tag (not covert) to give them time to get out of town after ressing.


--another little perk of bein a city shot down. Someone design a flag for devs of all mmorpgs with their motto "Nerf Freedom or Die!"
