EONS scores galore would be my vote. Let’s use the unique terrain and have fun blasting around taking jumps with good hang time. With low gravity that’s basically a flier at that point.

So yes a Bender at each node and KHH at the cores.
I put in a few Link Scorpions they have the boost like EONS ones.

I put Stormcaster back on Torlan Linker Madness. I missed it there as did several others.

I am thinking of a Linker Madness version of Torlan WinterCombat... yea or nay?

Or just an updated version of WinterCombat, dare I say as a randomizer? A LinkerMadness version could be fun too.

I much prefer its node layout with 2 primaries, makes comebacks more feasible.

Right with the Linkermadness loadout at the cores, teams need to decide which way to push the link train vs. current Torlan (which would stay) which has the ravine choke point.

LinkerMadness MasterBath kind of fell out of fashion, but it's still a lot of fun. I'd be down with another "LM"-type map but let's be careful to not get too carried away and have a bunch of them.

Minus-LinkerMadness? Or similar to Torlan, have Primeval-LinkerMadness?

I dislike the linkermadness maps due to the snowballing effect losing vehicles has on the game. Once your link train is weakened, the enemy curbstomps with no counterplay. There is nothing your team can do until enough vehicles respawn that a new link train can be formed. As much of a problem the odin caused on TorlanLM, it at least gave a counter to the enemy link train that isn't just a bigger link train, and I think the map was better with it than without. The linkermadness maps flow is too one-dimensional, which I guess is fine for the stains who just want to hold rmb and w, but I prefer gameplay that has a bit more content than just which team has more linkers linking.

Maybe if a linkermadess map had more of a variety of available tactics I'd like it.

Try Maelstrom-LinkerMadness which seems to be too complex for most of the players....

That was part of the thought behind the WinterCombat version... you can't just blindly attack a single choke point. You can split or push one side.

No it was too OP for such a small map. It obliterated any of the flyers easily. Huge Range, Killed all the tanks fairly easy while camping on the hill and if its linked was very hard to kill. Dark Rail works better.
let's be careful to not get too carried away and have a bunch of them.
Torlan-LM is quite popular. Same thought with Randos, but they also are quite popular. We have plenty of a good mix.
I'd still like to make a NodeRunner focused map, and a map with just a few Large vehicles (no one ever likes to really gun/team up... ). Just too much other stuff to do at the moment.

Except for the stains who love to jump in my gunner seats and then fail to ever shoot at anything attacking us, or if they do, completely miss every shot.

I need to hot key the bitchslap command so I can more quickly boot them out of my vehicle. Can’t count the number of times a stain/noob has caused an early death this way.

A general "eject passenger" button would be pretty cool. Like a console command that anyone could use.
