Owen... I'm gonna both agree and disagree with you in parts here and it's really just me providing my thoughts/reactions to stuff. Don't take it personally

• Basic - no slot


• Multi-person - 1 slot


• Improved -2 slot


• High quality - 2 slots


• Field Base - 3 slots


• HTFB - 4 slots

Modules

Generally, I don't see the purpose of these camps to act as a 'base' of operations, providing combat and defensive bonses to those in the camp or even within 1000m of the camp. I see it more as being modules for those IN camp. Camps are not currently meant for combat and I think that's appropriate (although I'm SURE others will disagree)

I like the current modules above that provide a bonus to the camo of those in camp, or repellant to creatures around. I don't think the camps should increase/decrease the spawn rate nearby, but should be able to repel creatures.

I think that each different crafting station should be a module and crafted with the same skill required to make them now. I do not like the idea of factories in camps... it just doesn't jive with me.

I think the evacuation shuttle is a sweet idea... but kinda powerful. It should take up all four slots and cost a LOT of resources to craft. This should be expensive! Craftable my Master artisans? Maybe the quality could also come into play so that artisans can experiment on the response time... a High Quality one arrives immediately while a low quality one arrives in 2minutes or something.

Some of my ideas (just ideas... names/functionality is all up for discussion, just want to get the ball rolling):

I thought about that too.

I felt this idea needed a bit of a bump and for some reason I'm all excited about this concept right now.

"I like the factory idea, had never thought about it, wonder about camp up time VS factory run length, hmm"

This would definatly be something that would need to be looked into, but i was thinking time wise, the factory would mainly be used for small batch production and production of those items that REQUIRE a factory to produce in order to get identicle units.

I think the solution can be easy. Normally a factory takes credits and energy to run. This can be put into place as well. As long as there are credits (main issue) in the factory maintenance pool, the camp will stay. Or until the ranger decides to break up the camp.

So if a ranger would spend 3 hours outside maybe talking or guiding, he can setup 1 camp and run it for 3 hours while a factory is making some batch...

It just costs extra credtis, as it normally does.

I would be very excited about this if we have some feedback by the devs on this idea but all we have had so far is TH saying the devs like the idea.

One thing i am excited about though (besides the CU, the Ranger Revamp and the GCW Revamp) is the new expansion being announced, i just hope its called New Worlds or something along those lines. New planets, adventure planets, cant drive on them, cant build on them (apart from ranger lodges) and utter bliss planets of exploration.

Well that's more news than I had heard! and TBH, it does set my mind at east to know this. I hope they take it and run!

I haden't heard about the new expansion yet... I need to go do some reading/searching I think.
