What does everyone think of handicapping your fighting and turf attack/defense depending on how far you are away from the target? Something that starts to kick in a couple hundred miles from your present (or last logged) gps location? I've been kicking this around with chainsawcharlie and we want to know what you guys think.

As it is right now us larger players can just walk anywhere we want and take over. This woul make it more difficult for us an add a new layer of strategy. If I wan to take over new York, I need to go there. Likewise, if I go on vacation , my turf at home is vulnerable.

i dislike. but there could be other ways to put gps in. maybe a slight advantage for being in the city you are attacking in, but no disadvantage for not being there.

Cmon people. Don't just shoot it down. Throw something out there.

I think it should start 100 miles out. And a 1% drop for every hundred miles. So 1000 miles out = 10% drop.

Far too large a penalty.

No freakin way. Defense enjoys a 20-30% advantage already.

And me vs you if you had turf in Hawaii, still = me losing

So tell me, you say the penalty is too great. Why? I want examples.

You know the numbers as well as I do, so tell me-ypu with 18k lap & armor, and me with 14k Tommy and armor, what are my chances, and how much stam will I burn trying to grab one turf?

Since this aboutlong distance take over, and not just combat, how about gory 1000 inf you build, you get 1/2% back.

You want it, you work for it.

True. But it wouldn't allow players to compete at their own level at great distances. Say me and v in NYC. 10% would make it impossible for me to cap him and leave me vulnerable. As is using Ap rounds we can actually cap eachother pretty evenly

Hmm. I'll have to do some number crunching on that. How about just attack gets the penalty though. Not defense. Although I do like the slight tactical challenge of both
