where is Galaxy City?

I would like to see Galaxy come back.  I never really used it….but…..   when you try to run a “completionist blue” you have to weed through all these “here but not here” contacts for Galaxy.  Plus…. Why get rid of content?  Like we have stuff to spare?

Yeah.

I miss Galaxy City.
If memory serves, I started one of my two "mains" there, and at least one of my other heroes back in the old days.

I do understand them wanting to push all of the new characters together, though, especially as new character creation slowed down.   Galaxy City always lagged behind Atlas Park in popularity so using AP as the one starting zone made sense in that regard.

Maybe one day we can drive the Shivans off and restore Galaxy City to its former glory.
Or maybe just turn it into a real zone with contacts and missions and let us at least pretend that we are trying to restore it to its former glory much more fully than the tutorial zone can do.  Make it an endgame zone.  Fill it with some really challenging stuff.

On live I actually created all characters in Galaxy, in large part due to the traffic in Atlas.  Funny now that I think about it.  On line I never once trained a hero with anyone other than BAB, Liberty, Blue, Valkyrie, Luminary and Castle.

I have always advocated that Galaxy be brought back as a new hazard zone featuring high end Shivans and other existing enemy shennanigans.  Longbow's main HQ used to be there, so you know there is a metric ton of tech to scavenge (like stated in Faultline).

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Considering its destruction was the start of the Battalion story Arc, unless there is an intent for the HC devs to continue that thread without the planned power up and game change and CoH 2.0 stuff.

Then make it a Shivan driven hazard zone, story writing for actual arc missions wouldn't be too complex; hero find this missing super weapon before X, or I seriously need my autographed Jeff Smith baseball from my of apartment in Equinox.  Or there are refugees still trapped in the old Arena that was never used.

 

 

I like this idea, though I think it would be fun to have different sections of Galaxy CIty as co-op hazard zones for different levels, either using war walls to split things up or just the kind of bridge transition between zones like it is on Goldside.  GC is pretty small, so I don't think it could be split too many ways (3, tops), but even after making Striga co-op, adding more co-op content at more levels seems like a good idea, and thematically, a partially/mostly destroyed GC would want all the help it could get. 

 

Maybe a worthwhile longterm goal for the devs, but not something I can see happening anytime soon.
