A Great Clan Idea

I know its a bit early to be talking of clans and clan bases, but wouldn't it be just awesome if you could set up your clan HQ outside the last city, as outposts for other Guardians, and a place to store your ship when you're on planet. I would love to have a clan HQ on Venus or Mercury, some place a little out of the way and maybe even hard to get to where all of my friends can hang out in their spare time. Of course, it would be even cooler if a Battle Cruiser could serve as a mobile HQ, but I don't think I should get my hopes up for that.

  • Because of finite area to put them I'd be more in favor of an instanced area with a customizable HQ. Then you don't have half a planet covered in buildings and what not. Or even make them out in the world for everyone to see, but they're existing buildings that have an upkeep fee. The huge guilds/clans get to have an HQ and the little 10 members and under ones don't. If they add in an alliance system that would work out even better as the smaller groups get full access to their bigger allied base.

  • I think what they would do is give people towers or something. And if it is in a non-public area than your golden. Like you have to ride your space ship there or take a hopper. You could have thousands of towers in the same place. Don't think I am explaining this correctly.

    To the guys who keep saying the land would be filled with HQs, well i got news for you bastards. They said you can only see your fire team UNLESS you're in a public EVENT.

    • Only problem would be the finite amount of space to put bases and the potentially infinite different clans. If this comes out, everyone and their mother/brother/sister/father will want to stake a claim.

    • I think there would be for factions each faction will control a specific area like a city etc.

    • You are a guardian. I do not see the point in having clans. We are all like an Army. United against the evil forces.

        Theres a lot of problems with this, and I'm not saying that clans are bad, but this idea needs work. If every clan has a piece of land then the land would be surrounded by lots of little buildings, at least around a certain area. Another is that the feel of the game. I don't want to be walking around and see a random clan base that just sticks out of the landscape being an eyesore. I also don't see how efficient building the base would be, its not not we can just turn on forge and a couple of walls later we have a nice base. Destiny is a persistent online world so forging while others are walking around would be annoying for other players trying to get by. Why not just have a place in the Hub where you can teleport to your clan base. It wouldn't be special as in you can't make it in your own design but you can buy useful things member of your clan can use, such as clan pikes, a supply of ammo and fragmentation grenades, health(If the game does not depend on rechargeable shields), stuff like that. The clan base would be bought from a market like place and stuff you can put in the base along with a "clan leader permit" that you can get be gathering four or more players and talking to a certain AI. All new incoming members can join with an invite from the clan leader or from some of the people that helped found the clan, and maybe those who the leader grants permission to do that. Clans should be social and not meant to grant much special bonus. Maybe in the persistant world if clan members are together they get clan benefits from how many players from the clan are in there. This however should stay in the persistent world and have no effect in the competitive side of Destiny. Just my thoughts since clans should be optional and not mandatory for one to thrive in the world of Destiny.

          • Yeah it would be pretty awesome. Especially the part where your ship could serve as a mobile HQ of some sort(like in starwars).

          • I think something more like a 'guild hall' in the Last City would make sense, it's the same on the outside for all players, but when you go in you enter a phased area for your clan only, so any players you meet are guild members. Not that the inside couldn't be really customizable, it just makes sense since the outside of The City is supposed to be dangerous (hence the epic walls)

          • awesome idea! would be good if you could have a capital ship where your friends could dock building are probably a bad idea though since it would take up space

            I would like to see is something like ForgeWorld. It was a personal play space, but your friends could see you playing in it and if you left it open they could waltz right in and hang out, clans could jump in and run tests or meetings, it was a good social utility map. With Destiny I wouldn't mind a personal hangar in the spirit of the rest of the last city featuring your ship along with friend ships sitting like friendly reminder props with NPCs walking around adding to the ambience. Something like that which allows players to meet in private or the spirit of it would be great clan and team social zones that wouldn't fill the main game to the point of cluttering it. If your clan reaches a certain size then maybe a hall pops up in the city.

            • I like the idea. Have something the size of something like a Star Destroyer from Star Wars. You rally your clan together and set off on a mission together. You could have your own mini army like that. You have your squadrons to bring air support for those who are on the ground and such. That would be pretty cool.

              • I think it can be a ship that clan leaders can purchase (After the clan reaches the propper level?) that is larger than normal ship but not like huge...and if should be active for roughly 30 minutes to an hour, and when the leader uses it a clan wide message pops up saying something like the "The Base Ship has been Deployed" and once that happens the clan members can teleport to it or fly to it w/e, it can be used as a stageing area for a large assault, resupply depot before a raid etc... I would love to see something like this or similar be implemented, ive never really seen a game that can do this effectively. and if bungie really wants to change the genre i think this would defiantly be a step in the right direction if implemented correctly.

                  I don't think it should be hangout place, i think it should be a small base that offers a tiny bit of protection, buffs and ammo etc that leaders of a clan can put up for about 15 minutes with a long cool-down. It could serve as a rally point and re-spawn point for a hard area or whatever.
