They have to be destructible, otherwise you have too many of them. I admit the flaw in that is how to handle the outfit being offline, but there could be a park mode that halves resource cost, but it still costs resources when parked.

I'm suggesting making it like that as I don't see outfits buying something that has a sign painted "SHOOT ME NOW WITH EVERTHING!" and because of that they should be indestructible and instead capturable while somehow remaining mobile.

If they are attacked, they would most likely defend with everything, though I see both points. It would have to be tried in beta to see how outfits would react to it. Would they not buy it for fear of it being attacked, or would they buy it and defend it with everything? Why not make a poll or something to see which way the idea would go?

i would advise that the airships would only be able to be in allied areas or the areas directly next to an allied area. otherwise i can see a bunch of outfits sitting these up all behind enemy lines and killing enemies as they spawn.
would also want a limit to the number of these available. wouldnt want every idiot who makes an outfit have one. to go with the limit there whould be an outfit ranking system of some sort, such as outfit with the most resources, the outfit with the most kills, the outfit with the most overall points, etc. should be something like 5 categories, and only the top outfit would be able to launch their ship (assuming they have and are supporting one, mentioned constant resource drain). while that outfit holds that position they can choose to launch their ship or not. if they dont launch, the next ranked outfit in that category would get the option. the ship would stay active until a shift in the rankings, (if the secondary outfit is using it, then it would shift when they lose that position, ie. second place dropping to third) or until it has been destroyed. -- if you lose the ranking position the aircraft is retired, not destroyed, and is simply put into storage until the next chance of use. ^^ would promote outfits working and competing aginst each other while working together, and encourage guilds to try and keep their rank or to raise their rank. larger guilds would be more likely to dominate and keep their aircrafts up, but the trade off would be that if they lose that position or pass on launching their aircraft, they are still losing resources. mentioned constant guild resource drain. would say active use should drain resources at 100% rate while if the unit is not airborn and being used, it would only drain 50% rate, whatever that rate would end up being, such as 2 resources per hour while in flight, 1 when not in use. basically you would have big anti aircraft flying fortress spawn points for the front lines for the highest ranked outfits (they are the ones likely most supporting the battle). rank sysytem coul update once daily and if destroyed you would as said have a 7 day respawn timer, allowing the second or third ranked outfits in a category to launch their aircraft. if one outfit is at the top of multiple rankings, they still only get one, and they have to choose which ranking they are using to launch, granting other outfit in the following ranks of the unselected rankings to launch their aircraft and clearly defining which category the lead outfit has to be surpassed in to force dock their aircraft, which would avoid one outfit monopolizing a launch so long as they are number 1 in anything. |
