Thread: PR Server Rules, Regulations, UCB info, Maplist, Everything You'll Need To Know

The mains are always an issue, and now .8 has created a new wrinkle because of the change in maps like Qwai where the flag to be capped was moved away from the permanent spawn points. Good intentions, but we are forced to re-evaluate our rules and make more interpretations.

Anyway, please remember the rules regarding the main:

5. Basecamping

Main bases: A main base is defined as a flag where the opponent has their only permanent spawn point.
UCB: The opponents main base which cannot be captured.

The rules regarding main bases/UCB are as follows:

1. Insurgents can attack enemy main at any time using whatever tactics they want as this is a real-life tactic. Remaining rules do not apply to insurgents only.
2. Main flag is completely off limits to enemy soldiers unless flag is in play. This includes spec ops and sapper squads. If the main is neutral, the attacking force does not have to withdraw and may stay to defend the flag.
3. Units firing out of the main onto enemy forces may receive return fire, otherwise you are not to fire into the enemy main base to spawn kill.
4. Destroying/sabotaging vehicles inside the main is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to placing mines or C4 onto vehicles or near them to prevent them from being used or destroying them.
5. Access directly out of the main may not be blocked or impeded by mines, c4, or other means.
6. Bridges and other means of departing the area around the main may be attacked and is not considered base camping.
7. Aircraft returning to their main airfield may be engaged until they've landed.

The enemy command post (CP) may not be destroyed any more, so there is no reason to attack the enemy main or attempt to sabotage the CP.

Firing out of the main automatically voids your protection from return fire, at least for the unit(s) firing. The idea is that no one should be near the main anyway until it is in play, but we realize that this is a silly fantasy and the reality of it is that there will always be someone who is the spec-ops superhero and will try to C4 something. Don't shoot them, just report them.

All of this main base business really boils down a difference in philosophies and ideals. Let's look at reality and take Kashan for instance. A 4km map with two airfields held by opposing forces. Riiiiigghhht. Don't think so. The main bases are really metaphors for the elements that are the rear, far away from the front lines, and provide reinforcements, etc. Much the same as a rally point is really a metaphor for a point of reinforcements and more troops, not just a pile of ruck sacks that magically spawn more soldiers.

So, with that thought, there is no reason or even a real way for troops at the front lines to impact those forces miles and miles away from the real conflict.

Just stay away from the mains unless and until they come into play and focus the fight elsewhere.
