In its current capacity, SWFPAC stores and maintains Trident-II intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as porting nuclear-powered Ohio-class submarines (see Trident submarines). The installation at Bangor is a submarine base and nuclear weapons arsenal, covering 8,572 acres and controlling roughly four miles of shoreline (Carter 1974). Officially designated by the Navy as the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific (SWFPAC), it is more commonly known or referred to as Naval Base Kitsap (NBK)-Bangor. Granting EA players battle xp is just a small benefit - but you still need to get money and ships like everyone else.Īlso I feel VERY sorry for new people on "release".Map by Brennan Stevenson Map by Brennan Stevenson Brennan Stevenson Bangor Naval Submarine Base (Credit: Center for Land Use Interpretation).Īlong a scenic tract of the northern Hood Canal on Washington State’s Kitsap Peninsula, and across the ebbing, blue-green waters from the Toandos Peninsula, sits an example of the ongoing militarization of western Washington and the Puget Sound. There simply won't be many new customers if your game is already set, because all EA player are cruising around in Santisimas right from the start and all the major clans control everything. They are not doing a wipe over and over every week or something like that, but only in certain circumstances.Ī wipe (except battle xp) on release or just before release (just like a head start) on the other hand is pretty much necessary imo due to balancing and fairplay regarding new players. it is necessary to wipe crafting xp if there are major changes because you need to test these things again (-> EA is about testing stuff). There are quite a lot of people already crafting and trading, your point is pretty invalid.
Originally posted by Cobra:Why keep only combat EXP then? You are just pushing people into not testing the crafting and trading, and if that is the objective, why not make an arena based game like War Thunder so we can combat a lot more easily and quicker? I hardly think this approach will create a real testing ground since 2 major aspects of the game are severely gimped. I will play every now and again when there is a port battle or something interesting going on but I'm done with crafting and trading. If there were only Ferraris in the world, very few people would buy cars, so even seasoned traders would test the changes. I hardly think that wipes are gonna help test these since when people realize that the RIDICULOUS grind for materials was for nothing they will stop doing it untill you keep your stuff.Īlso: If you had crafted you would understand that you still craft low levels ships because most people are low level. Sure, but now they have one less person to test trading and crafting from the very few there are. And your argument falls flat because if people got to keep their crafting EXP, they wouldn't have to test most changes anyway.
Originally posted by Cobra:Why keep only combat EXP then?īecause unlike the crafting system, combat and rewards are pretty much feature finished. I even consider it a challenge to adapt to new situations, but removing everything we worked hard for is very dishartening. If we keep our stuff we can have a player run economy from day 1 and have a variety of ships for new players to buy at a lot more reasonable costs than it is now.Īnd I understand that it is Alpha and I don't care if they remove carriages and give nothing back to those that spend a lot of time gathering the resources for it, resource placement, etc. They won't find anything to kill in early areas because veterans will completly wipe that thing clean. At least let us keep the BPs and a % of TRADED gold? Give an incentive to do that stuff or just make it easier for now since it is "going to change anyway".Īlso I feel VERY sorry for new people on "release". Why keep only combat EXP then?
