Blue: attacker, MCC moving forward

Red: defender, MCC stationary

Null cannons can only be taken once their corresponding defender installations are destroyed (supply depot and turret).

Null cannon must be hacked successively from closest to farthest.

Once a null cannon is hacked, the attacker MCC can move forward past it.

Defenders cannot retake their objectives.

Last null cannon terminal is protected by base, and a badass base battle must happen.

Attackers have time on their side (30-45 minutes) to make up for defender's objective.

I LOVE IT!

Having to blow up a supply depot pretty much requires that the attackers need tanks, or that infantry sacrifice the use of anti-infantry gear to instead use AV gear like forge guns and swarm launchers to take out the supply depot. Not sure how I feel about that; switching to AV grear makes you vulnerable to anti-infantry, and even the defense relays in Skirmish 1.0 could be destroyed through hacking.
It might be a very good thing though, since it will encourage players to use tanks or different weapons. I do foresee frustrating battles where there are no tankers or forge guns or swarm launcher users doing anything against the turret and supply depot, and I'm the only one even trying anything.
Yeah, I'm undecided about that aspect of it. The mode could work with or without it, so it can be altered if needed.

Reminds me a bit of Rush mode from Battlefield games, but better.
+1 to you.

Yes! You nailed it! Big smile

Mind if I borrow your summary for the TL;DR? They are very clear and much easier to understand than what I wrote.

I can definitely see the point you're making; the situation is no different in public Skirm contracts where one team is redlining with four tanks and the losing team has maybe one Forge gunner. Agreed; things can be changed as needed. I'm not sure this mode is necessarily suited for public contracts as they are now, but if there were a Team-only mode for public contracts (once Team-deploy gets added), or even a Team-variant for FW (playing to the owning a planet type of thing), I think this could be a viable and fun game mode.

Feel free to use it Just noticed I typed "defender's objective" instead of "defender's advantage".
