They really shouldn't be able to place anything but the basics tbh. It's on your SL to set up the FOB.

#

Ammo boxes are very strong, should be restricted.

If anything building should be removed from FTL capabilities, not expanding them with more options.
Build is a precious resource and we already have enough issue with SLs using it up improperly and for example putting down an emplacement when there was only 600 supply and screwing their team out of a crucial HAB.

Yes. However there's no way to get it back now, so enabling more team skill issues where one of like 8 blueberries has the power to screw your team out of enough build to have a HAB is just not a risk I want to take

#

SLs should be in charge of the build supplies to ensure they don't get misused. Ideally, removing the ability to build entirely from FTLs would be best.

#

FTLs don't need build, it's not a defining feature and generally having more people with the ability to place emplacements is not very helpful as it doesn't take long to do so as an SL anyway.

They should retain building but should not be able to place those 600 build towers. I personally get good use out of an engie doing construction for me in another area while I'm building with a guy elsewhere

Being able to put down an ammo crate as a FTL to harass enemy armor camping a HAB would be extremely useful imo

this should absolutely be a thing. i have seen ftls waste/use up hundreds of building points within seconds by placing watchtowers and all sorts of fortifications, but somehow ftls cant place ammo crates.

Sometimes I leave my squad and create my own just to place a few around the blue circle for anti tank. Then join a squad again. Last night we had 7000 ammo 2000 construction and one ammo crate with an mrap camping it. 3 squad leads thought one was enough.

Yeah dunno why more SLs don't basically shit around ammo crates as they're passing through a FOB (when there's build to spare).
It makes any AT around SO much more dangerous.
When the ATs don't have to run all the way to the HAB to rearm the enemy armor is gonna struggle a lot more. And lets not kid ourselves, that ammo crate is much more reliable than the rifleman who probably isn't close when you need him, or is dead, or has an empty ammo pack, or doesn't even know what an ammo pack is.

#

Screw ATGMs or stupid hasco stuff. Ammo crate is the best defensive deployable.

Let them place ammo crates and nothing else 🙏🙏

#

So ppl can stop building dumb super fobs + ftls can place something useful

I make sure to place multiple ammo boxes if const allows, or yell at other SL's to do so

#

my only concern is FTLs only place stuff that doesnt disappear with FOB loss, this would be the exception

#

(im still in favor, we just need to keep exceptions in mind)

Who asked you

#

SL more

distant solar
#

I do and have never seen this issue

#

I statistically see more "gimmi repair.... where dah build go" than "Place HAB...no not TOW!"

Why you tagging me on a post from 6 months ago

#

Your experience is irrelevant as the post itself is

I like pinging you though without realizing your comment is half a year old, makes me feel like I make you feel specially included

#

❤️

I think I’d just feel better if you stopped posting since its often really bad takes insulated by social ineptitude

#

Thanks

(obv sarc, and I will make sure to check date of replies I reply to for non-ping)

No my head hurts and you argue dumb shit

#

I’m just grumpy

distant solar
eager forge
#

Most of our interactions are insufferable including this one where you ignore the entire point being that FTLs having emplacement access is a larger hurt than it is a help

#

It’s just unproductive discussion who cares

#

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it

distant solar
#

I didnt ignore it, I barely even argued a point beyond I think FTL should get crate dropping if we keep the current system

#

now if we argue for FTL not getting the ability to place ANYTHING at all... I'm actually not against that

eager forge
#

Think before you post thank you I’m going to close my eyes and let the acetaminophen take over my soul

distant solar
#

But it would put more weight on SL to set up the FOB if it needs setup(a mild concern)

I used to search function to see if someone had done so already. So instead of making a new thread I brought this one back up.
You are way more responsible and considerate than most of us.

When you post a topic: "this has been discussed 100x just search smh"

When you search for a similar post and bump it: "wow necro post much smh"
