Hi there,
Not sure if im posting this in the right place, never done anything like this before, here goes....
A story for a possible in game event...
-- Introduction --
- Two weeks prior, space anomaly’s start to happen.
- Galnet news states some weird readings have been playing havoc with their systems. Nothing major, but it's mentioned anyway.
-- 1 week and a half before the event --
- Galnet news starts a "recruitment process" (Basically this would be to accept "THE MISSION"). Their reason is for "general station / system protection". (Maybe they could drop a hint, mention something about a possible attack)
-- One week prior --
- A Galnet message appears... it's garbled, weird typography, some sort of threatening message. (Frontier don't acknowledge it, they say nothing to anyone), the message doesn't follow the regular format... at the same time, Galnet states and apologizes that they're having "technical difficulties".
- A morning before hand -
Another message on Galnet news, but this time saying about a station that has been destroyed. Initial reports show some sort of technical malfunction, however, "An elite team of military personnel are on scene" for some reason?!!
-- That same evening or the following day --
A 'SPECIAL REPORT' is issued. (The format has to look 'hacked')
Some "news team" has found evidence of a foreign lifeform. They had to hack the Galnet news to get this on the network as the military confiscated all their material.
-- "Something else" --
- A military convoy carrying some "high ranked person", is killed. The remains of his ship are left for players to see at a certain location in the system.
- Several other convoys are attacked, some might get away and some might not.
-- Friday, the attack begins --
A worm hole opens near a station.
Ships of some sort open fire on the station, explosions everywhere, Federal ships getting destroyed... players getting owned and then the players are pre-warned to exit the station... the station becomes blocked somehow, (Those in it are given a warning that the Stations main power cell or something is about to explode). Then after the alien ships become more and more, more mother ships are there, more explosions, fire fights, etc
-- A GALAXY WIDE Galactic Urgent News Broadcast --
*URGENT HELP NEEDED - X STATION, IN X SYSTEM IS UNDER ATTACK*
-- Thargoids announce their first 'message' --
*gaalacTtic BroaDCasT Mes$age - D1EEE*
I as a player jump in, there is heavy combat, loads of pieces of ship flying around, explosions, comms interference -- I join a wing, 2 NPC's, me and another player, the NPC's are crap, but they're taking the fire from this MASSIVE ship that came through the wormhole. Or i am with 3 other friends, or even solo. Players can choose to fight for the Thargoids Faction, but are warned that it may damage future relations with other factions.
- Attacks carry on for days, maybe a couple of weeks. Players get missions, rewards, have to collect items from all over the galaxy...
-- End result... "The War Effort" --
A Huge Thargoids Mother Ship is where the station used to be.
NO ONE can kill it. It spawns LOADS of Thargoids craft when anyone approaches it, people can put up a good fight, but only to the point of retreating is the only option, they don't even scratch the Thargoids mother ship. (This ship can not be destroyed just yet and the Thargoids mothership has superior fire power, don't get too close).
-- The next part --
- The next part is where players need to donate items, rare items, cargo, etc, to help the "war effort". (This will be the Community Goals).
- Once the community goals are achieved, the BIG war begins, this could last a while. Loads of "Strong Signal Sources" within the one system, loads of stuff for people to do. Still utter carnage around the system though.
- "The destruction" -
Players are given the chance to go against the Thargoidss.
Get massive rewards etc
-- Additional --
- The “Community Goals” need to be hard. Millions of a certain rare cargo needs to be donated or something like that.
- The Thargoids Ships would need to be different. Something no one has seen before. Not something from a SCIFI movie or "that" episode of star trek. Maybe Organic? Who knows.
- There would need to be loss. It can't be easy. People would have their ships destroyed if they went too close to the Thargoids mothership or something like that.
- Stations would need an additional graphic (After being destroyed). Parts of it stuck together. Lights still flashing, smoke coming from different parts etc.
- Maybe even have "The Rebuilding" of the station / system.
- Millions of people on planets become endangered species, it's our job as players to give supplies to help them out.
--- What ever is in brackets is a message to the DEV's,
And that's it.
Sorry for the mistakes and random colours, im tired as hell.
Thanks for reading,
