(Yes, I know this is going to get several facepalms...)

I heard about a mod for Operation Flashpoint called Capture the Island which allows you to build buildings like in Command and Conquer. If a tactical Cold-War-gone-hot based around realism can implement CnC-style building, why can't us fans of Renegade? Can anyone think of any ways to implement building? I can't, but here's an idea, if it helps: make the structure an unenterable vehicle and make it leave a husk upon death. They do leave husks, right? I don't really remember.

And anyone have any idea about capturing buildings? Might make engineers more interesting...

I just had an idea: you know the ctrl+? and alt+? teamspeak menus? An additional teamspeak that varies by class ("Engineering." "Got the plans right here." "Shoot them!!!" for an Engineer, "I got a present for ya!" "That was left handed!" "Real tough guy!" for Havoc) would be awesome.

Scrin is awesome. Black Hand is awesome. Marked of Kane is awesome. Steel Talons is awesome. ZOCOM... sucks. Anyway, having multiple teams would be extremely awesome. I'd like to know if there could be at least 3 teams. Could some of them be allied with each other but not be able to use the same PTs. Could there be a PT for a third side. Truthfully, some aspects of Scrin would be screwed up in Renegade without major reworking, so I'm thinking of having more teams than 3, but I think 3 might be pushing it.

Finally, I'm thinking of a persistent map. Essentially, AI bots take over whenever no one is filling a slot. The map never resets. There are multiple base areas. Whenever a team loses it's base, it temporarily places all spawn points at an ally's base. After 5 minutes of baseless-ness, a MCV arrives at the ally base. You have to protect the MCV, deploy it at a safe spot, and rebuild your base. Assuming the building was figured out, would this be anywhere near possible? I'm planning a mod inspired by Continuum, so having your wins a failures matter would be awesome.

Speaking of MMOs, I'd like the ability to save stats for characters. Of course, I have to be careful to make it so that you aren't infinitely powerful just because you play 24/7 against bots. Maybe just saving their team, class, and money would be good. Kills and death ratio would be good, too.

I know I've essentially babbled for the entire post. Sorry. I haven't been here in a year or two. Glad to hear about Core Patch 3. If any of these have been done already, sorry. Any links to relevant topics would be appreciated. Also, how would you go about assembling a team? I'm not exactly picky. And what would I need to do to make myself not a total n00b?

And yes, I expect 1 or more of these will be impossible. Especially 3 PTs and the custom teamspeak. I welcome your comments and (maybe constructive) criticism. Thank you for reading. I know several people died in the attempt... ;P

EDIT: I saw a post ( http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=318491&rid=22328& srch=capture+buildings#msg_318491) that gives me an idea of how to handle building a base even without fancy building placement. Deploy a MCV in a script zone and it will build a power plant in 30 seconds, a Barracks/HoN in 60 seconds, etc. For now, I'm proceeding with that plan. Note that I have school in 5 moinutes. I'll check out the rest of that thread when I get home.

Do me a favor and ignore all my posts before March 2009. March 2009 and after is fair game, though. ;D
