That tram's at least in the center-ish. I'm not complaining, just pointing out.
Better idea, though. Toss a Black Helicopter up there. Always like to see that get more use.
I would rather see a Black Line helicopter added to the North end of Nerva Archipelago, as well as a train station added to the South end of Independence Port. Granted, I'm not married to this idea, and could continue to live without it, but I would like to see it along with it's own justification for having it. A second train line was added to Skyway City at the same time as the Faultline revamp (and Bloody Bay), so it's possible that justification would have to be added to Independence Port to add a second train station there.
I remember when there were no trains! We had to run from one zone to the next! But they hadn't put in the tunnels in the War Walls yet, so we had to get out our spoons and dig tunnels through, uphill both ways! During the First Rikti War! And there was no ferry from Talos to Peregrine Island! If you wanted to get to Peregrine Island, you had to swim there, and then wait for the devs to implement it!
Damn kids, get offa my lawn!

It might make sense for one of the black helicopters to run up to the south end of Primeva as an Arachnos beachhead, but anything much farther north than that doesn't fit for what's meant to be an "outback" area.

Isn't the Red Dwarf Tribute Scientist up there working for Arachnos? The guy with a working inter-dimensional portal he somehow got working in some old temple ruins.

Yeah, but clearly he's working in a "secret/hidden/remote" location buried deep in the jungle. Not really sure what that has to do with getting reliable commuter transport to a wilderness area. |

I want to know the story of how it got there, maybe an epic fight between Statesman and Recluse where Statesman threw a ferry at Recluse! Or maybe its a ferry from the past that was transported in time to place where the previous landscape has changed drastically. I dunno, lots of ideas to explore
Love it!

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
I fully support the idea for a Black Line Helicopter up there. I mean, those poor Arachnos fighting on the beach in Primeva need a support line. Heck, Arbiter Whatsisface is up there waiting to give you an Arc as soon as you complete a Respec.

I'd settle for a portal to Technican Nailors portal or something to drop you off at the Pyramid in the lagoon.

It's supposed to be remote (as others have said). I could see a helicopter drop off point at the southern tip where you could have a few (lot less than now) Arachnos spawns. Be neat to see a small military campsite there (marked off area on the beach for the helicopter, couple of tents, a quonset hut, etc).
I'd like to see a lot of the spawns removed as well. There isn't any hunt missions there, right? (remove them, too).

I like the idea .. just doubt they will ever actually use it

Now did we check the height on this? Last thing we need is someone complaining they don't have fly and can't jump that high.

I'm with another Black Helicopter Line point somewhere on the North Side of the map. Great idea.
Also, for IP, maybe there could be another smuggler's line point at the bottom of the map if not another train stop.
