Cont locking bonuses need to change

[War Barney]

In there current form the cont locking bonuses are NOT a good, thing. Its easy to ignore this as we finally got the new cont we've wanted for a while and cont locking but the actual bonuses have some major downsides in terms of game balance.

Basically it comes down to this, locking a cont can only be done for the most part if you are dominating the other factions. However these cont locking bonuses give you a bonus in strength for doing so as you can spawn twice as many MAXs/vehicles/aircraft. Yes the timer limits this slightly but for those who have maxed out the acquisition timer and even those who haven't this bonus still means they can spawn them much more than normal, while the factions that got beaten can't... so they are basically fighting at a disadvantage against a faction which was already winning.

This is INSANE.

The hossin bonus is great, its a exp bonus which encourages people to fight over it but doesn't give a strength bonus, the other conts need their locking bonus to be changed along the lines of this.

Sadly I'm not to sure what it can be for now, but it can't stay as it is. I heard they are planning to alter how resources work so theres 1 pool for everything but of course that wouldn't help, actually it would make everything worse people could spam everything if they lock a cont and if the bonuses combine together it would mean 1/4 cost for MAXs, aircraft, and vehicles.

So the reason for the thread? well 2 fold really.

1. Point out how flawed this system is.

2. Get some ideas floating around for what the bonus could be instead.
