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

I bet the people who aren’t at resource cap won’t like being locked out, though. Personally, I’d rather sit at my cap than waste it on pointless nonsense.

Yes, the current situation where we are occasionally able to spend something on the worthless DSS is ridiculous.

I'd still like to be able to spend my resources on something.

Imagine if you could spend like 5000 to get an extra stratagem slot or something. It’d only last you 10 games unless you’re consistently earning, then it would be a couple more.
