offense or defense

[Big Bro]

I agree with MrVulcan that if you aren't attacking that you die. But I think that's only in the larger scheme of things. I see where if they decide to go for a strategically crucial facility that you NEED to be able to defend. Also, I foresee some people just patrolling strategic areas (like the jumpgates) to cut off access to the rest of the continent.

I think that people will need to assess the current situation before deciding whether it is prudent to attack or defend. But I agree that you should always be attacking SOMEWHERE. You can't remain complacent.

tell me what server all you gung-ho all offense people are playing on so i can start hacking your bases :/

base D in tribes was pretty damn important and I think there will be some similarities here in PS. I don't think that we want a whole empire that just grabs a few bases and turtles for the rest of the week, but I think that bases that are on battle fronts are going to need groups of people that are willing to defend. Otherwise the offense will constantly be back tracking to recapture bases.
