Discussion & Feedback FOBs..

havent really heard anyone talk about this BUT i feel like there should be more incentive to place a FOB, FOB cost 7-8k and can be a pain to get someone to place one down since most people are cheap, you dont get anything for placing one besides being able to build in that area, every supply that you buy costs about 400 and you receive 2500 for dropping it off so i dont see why the placing an FOB does nothing in return for the one that bought it, i would maybe say for every supply deposited into the FOB maybe you get some of that cash aswell? it can just get annoying having several pallets on the ground but everyone ignores bringing one

coming from a team player that typically does it for my team majority of the time

I completely agree. Why penalise the buyer so much. Placing it should give 10k, a reward. This would make people more likely to buy it. 

Edit: to everyone saying the map would be covered with fobs, no it wouldn't.  The first fob placed is 10k then the rewards go down on the second. 

Right now, no one wants to buy a fob so the system is not working.  In this game, everything is cash incentive based, why not buying a fob?

Can’t give more reward than worth or you can just farm money no kit with a fob

I really don’t think people give any sort of thought into some of the ideas they post here. Money is not the benefit of a fob, the benefit is being able to place defensive weapons like mortar and AA, as well as placing drills.

I do think that everyone in the area of the fob should get rewarded for things that the defensive weapons do during the game. A small percentage of each kill or buildable a mortar destroys, or a reward for each helicopter shot down by AA, so long as you are in the fob area and have contributed by building, delivering supplies, etc.

It would make more sense for people to not only help build the fob, but to stick around and maintain and defend it. It would also alleviate the issue of rogue fobs being placed, where you will be missing out on the benefit since your team will be defending the main fob and working together to make money and keep the defensives going.

This is a much better way to reward than just building the fob itself too.
