    What about FFV functionality from those to roof hatches at the back? Is that what they are for irl?

    I haven't used it with ACE yet, should be able to slingload it.

    This is probably due to how they might have their hosting set up - there are places that can host wordpress for you, with addon support and all of that, but it would only host wordpress. They almost all let you use your own domain.

    But I don't think many of them would also host a forum for you. And they probably don't want to go to the effort of paying for a forum host as well, so they go for a free one. Free forum hosts generally don't let you use your own domain.

     


    This is nowhere near cluttered. Everything is presented with clear separation, you can easily make out sections of content. A main header image, a single Youtube video, a 3 card info section ("important notes"), and a very web standard 2-1 main/side bar layout for news posts.

     

    The only real criticisms I would have with this is that the news is so far down on the main page that its pretty hidden under the fold, and there is no clear Call to Action anywhere near the top when a user first loads a page. They have a tiny recruitment link in the nav, which is fine, but it blends in with the other links. There is no "Join Now" or anything like that at first glace. The general idea is that average people will spend barely any time on any one page, so you have to have something prominent, obviously stands out, calls on the user to take an action, and that should never have to be scrolled down to be seen (but that's more marketing type stuff the design specifically I guess).

     

    Aside from that, the pitch black to stark white is a huge contrast. While I don't hate it, i think they could play with more grey colors and make a bit easier on the eyes.

     

    Over all, not a bad website, and I've seen way worse. Its pretty easy to get a decent design with Wordpress though since it has such a wide user base, and tons of themes.

    Just saying, at first glance it looked very professional and good for recruiting. Just sharing for constructive thought.

    I think this is cool as shit and it looks great. Would love to see MSOTs actually stationed and using these instead of being sat at blank, vanilla looking FOBS. Good job Zeitara. Another thing I'd do is just mimic/try to replicate real life ones as in terms of shape and facilities that are in the camps.

    I think the most efficient way would be to create a standard FOB template to be used on any map. Convert it into an ACRES module so we can easily place our 'standard ' FOB in any location. Maybe open up a contest for its creation. Just a suggestion. I hate seeing us have to do the same work over an over again.

    @1stLt Golembesky I usually like to start with a some form of basis on a real location (or by taking elements from real locations and combining), Lt. If I start from the functionality aspect, my OCD kicks in and I make a castle that, while functional, is entirely impractical for the map/scenario and cheesy as hell. Plus the immersion adds clutter and a small amount of "character", Lt. Thank you for the tip though, and the picture will help with building the main FOB, sir.

    Do be consumed with created a 'real' FOB, think about what the players are actually doing there and build around that. Everything else is cosmetic.
