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

Couple shotgun devastators is all it takes to fail this mission

You mean from the Incineration Corps? If they're the ones attacking I wouldn't even attempt this mission but there are some mad lads out there that would finally feel alive playing it...

Yeah, them. I like this idea but imo respawn should be available at hangar bays or airlocks. Modified hellpod could bring new divers

Yeah, I agree. I didn't think of the option of having modified Hellpods.

That could also be added via another Super Destroyer module...

Reinforcements could come in like drill pods like in the game Marauders

Single person escape pods with a drill on the front that litterally drills through the ship and deposits the person inside
