So next week we will place our cloning facility. One of the citizens suggested that we put a turret just outside of it once it's placed. We decided against this when we realized that some poor sap could forget to clone before coming out hunting and happend to die. Since we are pretty far out on Naboo, 5000 meters, he has a good chance of being forced to our cloning center. So, he comes out... Whap scanned and toasted, over and over. Now I havn't placed any turrets in city yet, but I know the Faction Scanners can go down. Even if they cannot be placed in the city, someone could grandfather in and put the clone nearby. There needs to be something in the code that keeps turrets away from clones and clones away form turrets. If something has already been done to prevent then all is well. Any thoughts?

Uh, why wouldn't you just /burstrun out of the cloning center?
Last I noticed turrets did not one shot you.

I thought of that too, that'll only fly if there's a turret cap. Is there one or can someone line up a gauntlet?
Also, don't faction bases have cloning facilities? How is this issue dealt with for faction bases?

This is true, I was also thinking of the turret gauntlet situation. I suppose this could be a problem even with just the malitia. If there is a problem of this nature, then the lesson learned would be always clone in a major city. The other prob is, if the person forgot to clone, they would have wounds. The turrets would be deadly in a group against a Novice scout with wounds. My point is someone will be weak enought to get caught in this situation if it is allowed to occur.

Ok I am a mayor my self ..... and I would never allow ppl to place turrets and scanners inside the city center or near our cloning .... and that is even as we are an Imperial PA who like killing rebel players.
As a city ALL possible tourists, travelers and wanderers are a possible income to my city and my fellow PA members and their cantina, hospital and vendors.
Why would one "scare" off ppl from one's city like that? I would not at least.
(But some of my citizens have come up with this idea and proposed it to me

Even if this would happen the poor chap should just contact militia and get himself banned. That way he won't be allowed to use the cloning center = clone in another city
