So, after exploring the new map for a bit since its been live, I've noticed a problem, specifically the means of transportation between the main station, and the planet below. Currently, any unit that wants to go to the planet would either need a pilot to take them or to use the ODST Drop pods, which is becoming an increasingly less viable option; not to mention the distinct lack of means of returning from the planet. After mulling over the problem for a bit, trying to determine an RP friendly and practical way to move units, be it SoS, HoJ, or UNSC/ONI units between both places, I remembered a mode of transport that is used on a Star Wars RP map that I used to play on. The transport utilizes custom scripts within the map itself, not an addon, that allows players to be moved from one location to another. In the case of the star wars map, from the main base to a ship hovering above. It is essentially a driverless transport ship that, when activated via a button, can be flown on a set path between 2 places. The one from the star wars map included a sort of "call" feature. Meaning if the ship wasn't in the location you were at, you could press a button, therefore calling the ship, and it would then fly to your location along the path. I feel that if we could possibly implement this into our server somehow; either by contacting the map developer or figuring it out on our own; that it would provide a very fluid means of transporting troops.
A few more facts I've noted about this:
1: The ship used is indestructible, and is a prop that is actually included in the map its self.
2: From past experience on a highly populated server, the ship functions normally no matter the number of players currently on.
3: The ship path can NOT be changed in-game and the ship can NOT be diverted off of its set course.
Included is a video I have put together, showing this in action. I also have included a link to the Steam Workshop Page for the map in question.
Thank you for reading, and hopefully, this can be used effectively in our server.
