Hey guys,

Thought about a new mission type that could be added after release. Here is the outline:

Dropship landed badly and has to br repaired. So a timer starts. At the end of the timer the ship either flies scripted or controlled by a player (whatever is better for balancing) to a designated target that is too tough to take down with regular units (aka no damage dealt by them). Goal for Team A is to destroy that dropship either before it launches or during its flight. Goal for team B is to defend the dropship until the cannons kill the designated target OR it gets close enough to call the mission a success (if fire control cant get directed at the target instead of planes flying around the dropship).

Just an idea for a defense mission. Not only we get a new mission type we also get to see flying dropships with a real purpose

There you go No doubt it's not going to be in initial release. Just throwing ideas at the devs

Doesn't really matter what you have to defend.
Could also be a factory or a Comstar station.

But I have a few questions.
You directly start with 'Mechs?
On both sides?
Can you get new ones?
Where do you get them from?
How do you earn c-bills?

I think it could be a little "static" as everyone know where the defending team is.
A plus is that the action takes place at one single point.

It's a little like those vip mission where you have to protect a vip to the extraction point.
This could be done too. Protect a convoy or something like this. It all would be more fluent I think.

Yeah I like that ideas.

you...have no idea....how much I wanted to.
