Gameplay: Events

[CrystalViolet]

Figured I'd add my event ideas to this section and expand upon them a bit. These events would occur somewhat infrequently as to not take away from the core gameplay. They would instead offer a break from the usual territory capture system, while also adding an element of definitive victory and prestige for those who manage to pull off the mission. Teamwork would be required as each event should be set in a notoriously hazardous environment. (think of the way certain MMORPG raids are only possible with a very large and well coordinated group of players). Rewards would be access to extremely rare cosmetic upgrades.

Here are 2 Possible examples:

Event #1: A large alien ship appears over the battlefield. This alien race has access to an extremely rare resource that can't be found on the planet. Each faction would then attempt to fight their way to the core of the ship and capture this resource before a set amount of time passes and the ship explodes. The interior of the ship would be randomly generated and maze like, so each attempt at completing the mission would require team work and new strategies to hunt down the core.

Event #2: A vast system of underground tunnels and chambers are discovered, remnants of the Vanu race. Somewhere in the massive underground city factions would fight for yet another rare resource. The gimmick for this event would be collapsing passageways and booby traps.

These events could in theory be 100% PvP, with the addition of certain specialized obstacles which would require large and diverse teams of players to overcome.

Some examples of obstacles might be:

* A massive door made from an alien alloy that requires a team of max's with AV weaponry to focus their firepower in order to remove effectively.
* A health draining room filled with plasma that cannot be crossed without a team of medics constantly healing the squad.
* An impassible computer controlled defense grid that would require a team of hackers to focus their efforts to shut down.

Additionally, you could add certain PVE elements to increase the difficulty, alien mobs, large boss type creatures, etc.
