While you carry a weapon crate you want be able to use weapons or sprint, and you will NOT be able to enter a vehicle.
The defenders will not have a MCC, they spawn in a ground base.
They have to defend the containers and stop the attackers from running away with the weapon crates.
Winn/loss will be determined by, attackers lose there MCC, or they get the crates to the MCC or cloning.
And yes it will come in 1.8.
I never played in closed beta so I never experienced skirmish 1.0. However, hearing the vets talk about it gave me an idea for a game mode. Unfortunately, it would have been similar to this "Conquest" game mode. So now, no one will ever believe me  .
Anyway, the simple idea I had was to slightly redesign skirmish 1.0 into a salvage/resource hijacking game mode. You can call it "Convoy" game mode. Here's how it goes, Be gentle.
- The MCC is actually a cargo/delivery container containing weapons and other gear. Crucially these items could also be EVE resources, allowing a link to be made to the EVE economy. This cargo container needs to be transported across a planet surface to a docking station, or "port" where the resources can be offloaded/delivered.
- One team of mercs is the "CONVOY" for the slow moving cargo ship. Infantry, dropships and tanks as protection. The defenders.
- The other team is the attackers. Mercs hired to capture the MCC and stop it from reaching the port. Not sure how the capturing mechanic could work best though.
- Win/loss will be determined by: attackers capturing the MCC/cloning the defenders. Or defenders successfully delivering cargo to the port/cloning the attackers.
- Salvage payout can be determined as a percentage of the weapons/vehicles/items that were defined as the cargo.
Anyway, that's the basic idea. I didn't think through all the details. But I'm sure the bright sparks on these forums can improve it further.
Desperate attempt to get BPOs
