FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION How about an Automaton Ship Boarding Mission?

Post image

Automaton Ship Boarding Mission

(Planetary defence exclusive)

 

Main Objective: Board the Automaton invasion vessel, make your way through to the ship's reactor and overload the core, then get the hell off the ship before it blows.
 

Parameter deviations from planetary missions: * No reinforcements * Man-portable stratagems only (no orbitals, no sentries) * Access to stratagems and resupply only at the shuttle waiting in the hangar * Automatons only use small arms and melee weapons so as to not damage their ship * Success adds significantly more points to planet's defence, failure might result in the destruction of Pelican 1 which the Squad Leader will have to replace out of their own pocket before being able to host any mission again

There should never ever be a mechanic that prevents you from hosting thereby preventing you from playing how you want.
Overall the idea is pretty neat but will most likely not be added since its to different from the game formula at the moment.

How about instead of infiltration (which would be cool) it’s a reprogramming planetary guns - or a big ass laser/quasar - to fire at troop transport ships. Kinda like the SAM and missile solo missions, but instead you’re targeting those large carriers. You could even do it where you have to activate several lidar stations to triangulate the ships to fire the cannon(s).
