Alternate Missions for MS

[ZPM]

Triple bump. Don't make me do a quadruple bump.

[obrecht]

C'mon Peeps. If you like it say something. My mothership an probably many others are getting dusty.

[ZPM]

I hereby declare that my ideas were good. Let admin implement them!

[Chris M]

Looking for friends: Brings back a few Super units with random weapons
Would only bring a few. maybe a base number of 200 and plus or minus 100 random chance. And it'd be random weapons, not nessicarly the best.

Peace Mission: Brings back UU, Naq. I could bring one commodity. How about something like 500-5000 UU if succeeded. 5,000,000 to 500,000,000 naq if suceeded.

Raiding mission: Brings weapons, lifers, and naq. Again one or the other. it could bring 10,000-50,000 basic down to 100-500 of the best weapons. 250-5000 lifers. Or 2,500,000 to 250,000,000 naq.

Bombardment: This was an idea bounced around a while ago to completely obliterate people. Well, I think I may have found a compromise. It takes 12 hours to get there, and 12 hours to get back. Once its there it will do its weapons damage to miners, lifers, and offensive and defensive bases. Again chance it would totally fail. (the hyperspace generator isn't working properly, someone sabotaged the weapons) If the opponent has a mothership in orbit, it will counter-attack the attacking ship with full force, recieving no damage.

Planet Defense: Tired of taking that planet only to have it retaken, and all your mothership does it sit around and watch. Well, here's the deal. For 24 hours your ship will defend one of your planets. The ship doesn't have to be recharged (as in after 24 from the last attack) to defend.

The one called Looking for friends i like. a real small percent tho.

The one called Peace i dont like so much.

The one called Raiding could be of mercs, not miners. If miners were to be chosen how about it was a good percent of on hand UNTRAINED units.

The one called planet defence i love. it as what i expected a MS to do as soon as we got planets.


I propose

Weapons Raid*
Super Trained Units Raid
Mercanary Raid
UU Raid (as opposed to miners)
Planetary Defence

* Not so keen on it, but meh :p

The Mercanary raid one would be popular for those that cant buy mercs on the market cause they are always taken at the begging of the turn.

MS can be used as a attacking force in the mentioned options once per day, at a cost of 25 turns? (half a days worth of turns, maybe a full day worth of turns...)

[Lord Thanatos]

I like all the ideas, but the Planet defence one is the best. I swear to god my MS crew sits around smoking pot as my enemies MSs slaughter millions of my citizens on my planets.

hehe
Come on guys, there are some solid ideas here. Sound off?

Looking for friends: Brings back a few Super units or mercenarys with random weapons. Would only bring a few. maybe a base number of 200 and plus or minus 100 random chance. And it'd be random weapons, not nessicarly the best. I don't want this to tuen into a another making the strong stronger deal, so definalty, no more than 1000 units max.

Peace Mission: Brings back UU, Naq. I could bring one commodity. How about something like 500-5000 UU if succeeded. 5,000,000 to 500,000,000 naq if suceeded. This would be something like the Athosians hanging out with Shepards team growing food. Or getting naquariah from Jonas homeworld. But requires a mothership for show of friendship. (or someting like that)

Raiding mission: Brings weapons, lifers, and naq. Again one or the other. it could bring 10,000-50,000 basic down to 100-500 of the best weapons. 250-5000 lifers. Or 2,500,000 to 250,000,000 naq. Again, not trying to make the strong stronger.

Changed
Bombardment: This was an idea bounced around a while ago to completely obliterate people. Well, I think I may have found a compromise. It takes 12 hours to get there, and 12 hours to get back. Once its there it will do its weapons damage to covert and offensive and defensive bases. Again chance it would totally fail. (the hyperspace generator isn't working properly, someone sabotaged the weapons) If the opponent has a mothership in orbit, it will counter-attack the attacking ship with full force, recieving no damage.

Planet Defense: Tired of taking that planet only to have it retaken, and all your mothership does it sit around and watch. Well, here's the deal. For 24 hours your ship will defend one of your planets. The ship doesn't have to be recharged (as in after 24 from the last attack) to defend.

Just so you guys know, this would be taken from the void, as in not from people. Remember I'm trying to give the middle people an edge here. So that strong people won't bother and weak people are still weak. We need weak people.

I agree, great idea. It's surgestions like this that improve the game and keep people playing . But i'm sure whatever decision is made by forum, and any other admin's out there, will bring more joy to the players

Ok well i like that idea but then people that want to hang onto a really really good planet and have a MS with huge amount of shields and weps will suck to attackers,

I suggest that the MS can defend the plaent for 24 hours but then it cannot defend the planet again for another 24 hours after that

[[sarevok]]

I must disagree sorry. Whiles yes, it would be good for defending one planet, but it's only one planet after all, no matter how good, it's easier to have 3 planets of the same type (cept UP, cause there so rare), and have them equal a "super" planet, then have one super planet, seeming as how the costs go up

[obrecht]

I'm talking about protecting one planet that you need. Its not so much which planet is your best since there aren't that many out there, its which one do you need.

[R3B3L]

i think that you should either:


Remove the Bombardment completly

OR

Make it cost ALOT. Im not sure i like the idea of setting a ms to defend a planet and then someone comes in and destroys everything i have. How about you add ranks into the equation? Like raid? (not sure how many ranks below yourself you can go to raid, but use that idea.)

So the really powerfull players can't completly destroy the semi-powerful/mid class players.


maybe make it so you have no turn generation while doing these missions? Then you won't get someone Perminatly defending planets (keeps the planet stealing in the game, but at a reduced effectiveness.)



Other Ideas are great
