PACT, lol.
So far, I don't have a single thing on the ban list and I'm more than capable of using Delta Mk.II in an open area. Granted it would proabably be even more difficult than before to use the orbitals, I don't think it would be beyond possibility.
I played Dacapn in the Advance Base the majority of the time, and once in the Ruins but tracking was to annoying there. We ended at the Abandoned Factory with a really fun agressive-play match.
It's not usually the arena that limits the AC, but the habits the pilot has. People say Site-S is way to small, but it's actually pretty big. There's even room to OB-Joust agressively if you can beleive it. I'm not a space-hog that requires three miles between myself and my target at all times before I decide to charge-in, but I really do like Site-S because there's not enough room to backpedal or play keep-away effectively at all. Same with the Ruins, Lab, Space Dock (I wish it was the same as when you play against the 3rd VR Ranker 'Moonlight' with no ship and massive holes in the floor), and Cyber Space.
Honestly, I like small arenas because they force the players to play agressively. If you're not used to playing intense matches, oh well. It's not anyone's fault that you like having a football field between yourself and your target at all times.
Delta Mk.II's playstyle is to control the battlefield. When someone just flies around all day or moves backwards for 80%+ of the time in an open arena and never charges-in, I usually just quit the match and let them know that if they're going to keep doing that I'm not going to play with them at all.
There is -nothing- I hate more than having to chase someone to even have an exchange in fire. A good match is when both pilots play aggressively and push their AC designs to the limit, no matter what the design is. When you just watch one person chase after the other all day, there's no intensity at all.
Seriously, I quit the matches from boredom more than frustration. "Oh look, I have to chase this person who is backpedaling me with mid-range weaponry while I have an almost close-quarters exclusive weapon load. If I decide to keep following them, they'll most likely have the AP lead my the time this match is over, and if I quit the match, they'll probably be upset and call their backpedaling 'range-control' or 'dodging' or some other lame label like that."
When you move backwards for 80% of the match, you're backpedaling, no matter what the distance between both ACs happens to be. When people never charge-in and play for fun, it just takes the 'life' out of the entire match. Sorry, but I'm not the AI. Chasing after backpedalers isn't what I consider to be fun at all.
Anyways, that's just my opinion of having majorly open arenas. If your precious verts are blocked by the roof, that's just unfortunate. Drop them and continue the match to the best of your ability.
If you start considering the quality of the match based on the arena promoting your weapons or not, that just sucks. Think of the tactics people can use to -ruin- matches by having to much room and nearly no limits. I assure you -that- can suck more than being a paper OB core AC against an MG-Arms rushing AC at Site-S any day.
"If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." I like the heat, a whooole lot.
