I would love to see an above ground monorail on E-Dist
Here is a suggestion of what the line may look like with stops.
- 5 or 6 trains with 2 car tandems each.
- Top speed about 50mph between stops.
- Loot on cars as you go.
- Shoot out the door at opponents on the ground as you go.
- On board fire fights as you go.
- Recharge shields as you go.
- You can use heat shields on board if transiting through the storm.
- Some stops are on roof tops (e.g., Lotus buildings).
- Setup amp shields and Sheila on the rooftop as you travel around the map and strafe ground targets for laughs.
I also thought city buses could help move people around, but they wouldn't go nearly as fast as rail. The rail system would help people move quicker and longer distances, and this map could use this type of help for movement. The jump towers simply don't go far enough and you can't recharge or heal as you jump from them.
I also thought about subways. They could go in nearly straight lines and fast as well. But you can't see any of the map under ground, and that would break a sense of what is around you as you travel.
Here are two other possible layouts.
