TOPIC: [SSRP Rule Changes] Elevator Bases

Elevator Bases

---

I would like everyone to read through this post as it explains the issues with Elevator Bases and possible solutions to resolve them.

---

If you have been long enough in the SSRP Community you will most likely remember that Areas accessible by Elevators only started being used by many as it was an easy and secure way to make your money. Due to how easy it was to defend this places elevator bases quickly became the most popular place to base at.

Issues Caused


These locations of course had some issues and one of the main issues that also got them removed was/is how hard it is to raid them. People would continuously shoot explosives as soon as the elevator door opened and raiders would most of the time die instantly without being able to do anything. Which brings us to the second issue with them. The environment between Raiders - Defenders would become really toxic due to the fact of how hard it was to get inside the base. Defenders would get cocky and every attempt would cause frustration to the Raiders to the point where they would just reach a point to quit the game and take a break. To add up with the anger and frustration raiders would many times resort in rule breaking to raid these bases which caused a chaos on the server.

Basing Right Now?

If you have been active on SSRP lately you would notice that all 3 servers barely have people basing. People know that if they base they will get raided within minutes and so they decide not to base and that the risks of basing outweights its profit ( High Risk / Low Profit ). To add up to the lack of bases server changes come in place to completely eliminate the only tactic left to defend bases .
While stupid rules get added in hopes of reviving Basing such as


Its clear that the current special weapons hardly allow any bases to be made due to how op they are combined with suits.

Over-Powered?

Many will argue from past experience with Elevators that they are basicaly unraidable till this day. The answer is No they arent. With
the addition of the new Iridium Items and changes in suits/weapons every base can be raided The reason why i am suggesting this and
asking the Lead Team to really consider it is because this areas finally give Defenders the advantage they should of always had.

With all the new items and changes in suits and weapons + Some rule changes Elevator bases can be nerfed but still give defenders
somewhat of an advantage.

Some examples of items you can raid with are :
Thermals - Although u might not be able to enter u will at least have a good chance of destroying a suit or 2.
Hyper Suits - Its invisible teleportation mark combined with some ^ Thermals can become a big threat to the base.

The Poll that got Elevator Bases REMOVED

Even when Elevator Bases were Over Powered people would still support them due to the fact that basing would be impossible without
them. With the nerfs stated above i believe this is finally balanced!
