Thargoid war. CG Evacuation...wing up for a co-op experience.

Hey there...just rolled a really good idea...well, I think it could be anyways.

When the thargoids attack, there could be a great opportunity for a story beat that would include their attack on a starport/station or even a planetside base.

An area would become invaded by thargoid ships, and players would be needed en masse to flock to this point.

The station will need to be evacuated by one group yet they will be under fire from the alien threat, the other group, tries to fend them off whilst providing cover for those willing to fly in, land and try to save as many people as possible.

I reckon this might get randoms as well as long time friends to wing up, be a team and earn money together....maybe.

I won't go into the details of the rest of the mission, you've all got brains and can imagine the scenario for yourself. But it's something I'd like to have a bash at, might be abit more fun that....oh look, another ship....pew pew.

At least this one might require abit more coordination and communication. A wing of four, 2 defenders and 2 transporters. The CG would pay out and be set in a similar way (i.e. Combat and trade %'s and payouts)
and after a while you can swap over with ya buddies and see things from the other side of the mission.

Transporters can assign a button for "select highest threat" when they get attacked, defenders would bind a button for "select wingmans target" and boosh, chocs away jimmy!

Right...that's my waffle over with.

Any thoughts?
 
Like it.

I'd go with 1 transport and 3 fighter escorts in a wing of 4 though, but that's just me.

Get the CG request sent in.


I've often wondered why we don't have any more variety in the CGs and one of the scenarios I've wished for before has been a NEO (National Evacuation Operation - in military parlance) after some kind of civil war or attack or disaster has befallen a planetary base, but this thought was way before Thargs. If this Tharg event CG can be coded then the common or garden NEO event would then be available as a template afterwards :)

I like this,

given I love passenger missions the most out of all my friends, and am equipped as such in my fleet, I imagine I would be the evacuation vessel while my combat orientated friends will enjoy the pew pew.

Classic Idea..

just one caveat... I'm currently 2000Ly away from Sag.A, having been to Colonia. And once I have seen what all the fuss is about will be taking a right turn and heading back to the bubble. It could be 2 weeks before I get back to what eve is left of inhabited space.
