Hows about Aero's original idea but with Monkey MAC's idea as the next stage after the initial two ambush modes?
That makes sense to me as you by that point you have established and strengthened your presence on the planet. Next stage would be to get your MCC into the area of the objectives, so the full skirmish to eventual domination could commence.
Another little idea would be that rather than the MCC getting destroyed by the null cannons, the shields become progressively weaker as the stage advances from the ground war mode to the domination kill off. In domination mode the MCC's would be in armour only and so the battles would be far more frantic at each stage.
Aero, hats off to you dude for what is probably the best idea this game has seen so far. Keep it up dude |

Just trying to add as much fuel for the fire for Aero's excellent idea here, but wouldn't it be a great idea to turn pub matches into the real training grounds or Academy sort of thing and have PC as where the eve/ dust corporations fight for control of districts for money as always. This leaves FW as the sole playing ground for the empires and in effect unifies DUST and EVE pretty much totally.
As ISK is being taken out of FW and replaced with LP and standings, it makes for a real sense of duty etc. If the market opens between DUST and EVE properly then I figure the real fights battles will begin to get far more interesting.
Again this is all food for thought. I am aware that I am only drawing an outline with little filled in but I couldn't resist adding to the OP's ideas. For me this would give DUST far more appeal to a broader base too.
FW should flow through (in order) Ambush, Ambush OMS, Skirmish 1.0, Normal skirmish, Domination. |

Quick bump to keep this in the devs face. No point in losing one of the very few valid discussions on this forum! |

Just to keep this alive and allow others to chime in that haven't. This thread could very well hold the keys to revamping DUST 514 with any luck. |

I note that someone mentions how the defenders can continue if the MCC is destroyed. To answer that is easy. They don't need an MCC as they have their clones onworld within their defenses already. The people that need to watch out are the attackers although, by the time they get to the final domination mode, pretty sure they will have their own clones onworld and within defenses too.
Basically, these matches will take time to work through but they can be spiced up by adding more maps/ modes/ moods/ side fights/ miscellaneous features over time.
Right now, its important to run what we have - AMBUSH, AMBUSH OMS, SKIRMISH 1.0 (bring it back!), SKIRMISH, DOMINATION.
These modes are already used (were in S1.0's case) and require little resources to marry them up (hopefully) into a train of events scenario.
It would give a greater meaning to the EVE DUST link and involve us all in a bigger way. It could also attract more players. We still need to take out AA and enable FF though. Get the training wheels off and do it for real... |
