What 'reworking of physics' do you think would be necessary?

See?

Well it doesn't matter in any case, LOP is off topic since this is a naval idea first and foremost.

An airborne cruiser is a naval idea? How is it naval anymore naval than a L.O.P.?

Every time space is assosciated with a an armed force it's usually referred to as navy, and it isn't off topic it is an alternative which was presented for the same niche and is more palatable for some players.

He isn't asking for a space navy, in fact he deliberately said he wasn't.

He is asking for footholds in space.

Immovable stations or not, it would appear to be in space and thus under naval jurisdiction.

Regardless it would make an interesting dynamic and seems feasable. I could see outfits benefiting greatly from this. Imagine boarding actions of orbital stations by cohesive squads! The max rushes! The dogfights outside the bays!

Or alternatively it could supplant the air cruiser and be a outfit-specific stronghold that may or may not be fought over.

Either way controlling them should give a buff of some sort to the corresponding continent or chosen continent. I.E. Reduced squad spawn cooldown, reduced OS cooldown, etc. Maybe only one buff that could be chosen or a few buffs that must each be certed towards.

The L.O.P. has a lot of potential and could supplant the air cruiser. I don't understand you attacks on it's validity as a concept.

Do I really have to explain it twice?

You don't need to explain anything, you need to listen/understand/reread.

I don't need to do shit. I responded to his ideas and to your attempts to convert the thread into a discussion about his idea. I've been more than fair about it.

The L.O.P. idea could potentially supplant the A.C. because it fills the same gameplay niche and thus is within the scope of this thread. It has certain attributes which the air cruiser lacks and has merit to be discussed because of it. I do not view the L.O.P. as a derailment of the thread so much as an evolution of your original concept.

In the first paragraph no less. LOP takes away from them. OAC doesn't, it augments them and even increases them. LOP sounds like the old sanctuary system to me, which is fine, but off topic.

But isn't the essence of the L.O.P. and the OAC the same? Aerial/Infantry combat absent of land vehicles? And possibly including some biome specific vehicles? (I.E. Larger aircraft style things in place of ships?)

Low Orbit would be hundreds of kilometers above the flight ceiling in PS2. Basically space.

Yea, and it would function the same as a continent dedicated to naval warfare.

Right, which is why I'm opposed to it. I don't want 'content arenas' or 'content zones'. I want everything on one battlefield... so to speak.
