    I can not play at the moment (waiting for my money^^)
    but i have one simple question about extractors and how they work

    i have seen a few streams and gameplay videos, and it seems that you can build them everywhere. is that correct?
    if yes:
    will this be changed? i think i have heard a comment in the latest livestream, but im not sure.
    i mean...both systems have a benefit, extractors only at specific spots like it was in SupCom can have a tactical advantage, it can be fun to fight for them.
    A free system has the benefit that it is balanced for everyone.

    Or is it some kind of hybrid? i have seen the metal texture on some places, do they give you a bonus if you build an extractor there? would be interesting to see something like this.

    thats my question, hope i can play soon^^

    Earlier versions of the Alpha had them buildable everywhere, mainly as a testing mechanic. The goal has always been to implement them working only on specific mex points.

    This was implemented a couple of builds ago, meaning mex points are now required.

    ah, thats intereting, thanks for the answer.
    maybe i can see something in the livestream today, the last one was a month ago, so i think the change was made between them.

    yes but there are also multiple casters and streamers that make videos of the lastest build.

    There is a list of them on the forum.
