please add an option to make bases and tents visible on world map. Seriously this small change would add so much interest to gameplay.

[Ganado]

With how 2238 currently works, I don't see why that would do much. People that have valuable/any loot in their bases aren't going to do this, so 95% of anyone going into one will just be some noob, or someone's just going to be camping the base with mercs or something. Also, there would just be tons of dots since you can place your bases/tents anywhere. Apparently you didn't see pre-wipe madness back when the last wipe was. People could make visible bases near a city just to prevent others from being able to make their own base/tent near that spot. But please, back up your suggestion and maybe I/more people will agree.

I dont know I think it would be fun to be able to open up my own trading post in the  middle of the wasteland, or to be able to enter someones base. So what if there are people who would come and just shoot the place up, or people that set up bases as traps to lure people in and rob/kill them. IMO that is all part of fallout and that kind of stuff adds to the fun of the game rather than takes away from it. In addition, there would also be people making bases and trading posts visible for honest trade, pvp, rp or other reasons.

I honestly think that this small change would add a great deal of versatility to the game for trading, pvp  and rp purposes. Also if you dont want your base to be visible, there can be an option not to reveal it on the wm.

Bad idea, most of PvPers have tents/bases in corners around the town map and/or on respawns - Your idea will make massive mess, did you think about it?

I would like to see your frustration when you wont be able to enter your own tent coz of it.

Trading Post? I don't so...
It would take about five minutes for a gang of player killers or a large gang of newbies to show up and slaughter you and whatever security you had, steal all your stuff, throw braihmin shit on your corpse followed shortly by another gang, and another and another...
Its just like player controlled towns, it sounded cool, but it just does not work well...
*Level 4 walks into town with leather jacket and shotgun*
Ape: Oh ma gud enemy spy execute him at once!
*Player opens his base as a shop*
Bandit: Base Raping Time Noob!

Sounds like an obvious trap.. or a troll feature for making some bases inaccessible.

[Wipe]

About "troll" part only - location could be made visible only if none of other visible locations is in that place. Detecting "locations collision" was one of ideas for bases spawning, but it was never added (all what left is single screenshot from tests).

lil offtopic

"Where is Wally ?"

It probably would be easier just to add more base maps (diner, bus station, etc) and taxi in the people you want there (or add their name using the current faction system).

[Horatio]

I support this idea.

You can gather troops in your base, deploy the robotic turrets, which must be maintained and reloaded and start your own storm-the-base event. After 20 minutes the base can be switched back to invisible, unless the defenders were wiped out.
Also, the base can be hijacked this way.
It must require a special password, though.

lol yeah why not?

honestly i just want to be able  to open up my own deathclaw farm in the middle of the wastes and sell deathclaw pets to people. Is that too much to ask?

I actually kinda like this idea....
for instance outpost map has an interior and exterior
havee the interior guarded by automated turrets (purchaseable and maybe you have to load with ammo, idk) and have the "trading post" on the outside portion like perhaps a small shack like what you have in ncr where you buy DIY bases.  That would allow people to start trading bazaars out in the wastes and still have a modicum of protection of the inner compound.  If it starts getting too hot with trolls or pkers, bombers or otherwise asshole galore, just make your base invisible again till kiddies bedtime.

For the people who dont like this idea for the possibility of trolls blocking people form making bases near major cities and other locations, it would be easy enough to make a rule that you cant build a tent within 5 squares in any direction of a major city or within four squares in any direction of a major site like mariposa, etc.

You should check once again how worldmap looks like.

ok, so make the rule that you cant build visible sites within 1 or two squares of a major city or major site.
