I would like to see a new role that takes on more of a leadership position in charge of the entire battlefield, the Commander (CO). Able to order squads around, drop deployables on beacons placed on sockets, or even move the MCC around the battlefield. He would gain WPs from the use of deployables and squads following his orders. I think it would work best on PC and FW matches with only one commander slot; in place of 1 player. The CO would have to pay a cost to place the deployables.
NEW SKILLS
Commander: Increase the number of squads you can issue orders to by 1 per level. Base level should be 1 squad without this skill (like current squad leaders), max 6 squads. (no prereqs) These would be the same commands squad leaders give out, but he would be able to set 1 command per each squad. Squad leaders would still be able to have a command.
- Deployables: Deploy structures on the battlefield. Lvl 1 Turrets, Lvl 2 Supply Depot, Lvl 3 CRU, Lvl 4 Repair Depot, Lvl 5 Scanner (Commander lvl 1 prereq) [A CO would need a player to drop a command uplink on a socket location to allow the CO to deploy there.]
- - Turret Upgrades: Increase RoF by 2% per level. Lvl 1 allows for blaster turrets, lvl 3 for missile turrets, and lvl 5 for rail turrets. (CO gets kill assist when turret makes a kill, whether by the AI or a player)
- - Supply Depot Upgrade: Increase nanite regen by 5% per level. (CO gets team supply WP)
- - CRU Upgrades: Decrease spawn time by 1 sec per level. (CO gets team spawn WP)
- - Repair Depot Upgrade: Increase repair amount by 20% (CO gets triage WP)
- - Scanner Upgrade: Increase scan distance by 10% per level. (CO gets intel assist WP)
- Command Upgrades: (Commander lvl 3)
- - Reduce Deployable Wait Timer: Allow the CO to deploy additional deployables faster. Base time between deployables should be implemented to reduce spamming the battlefield. This skill would reduce wait time. (Command Upgrades lvl 1)
- - Faster Deployable Placement: Once a player places a beacon on a socket and the CO selects a deployable, there would be a counter until the item drops. This skill would reduce time until it lands. (Command Upgrades lvl 3)
- - MCC Strike: Since the commander is not part of any squad, he must earn a Warbarge Strike solo. This skill would reduce the XP he needs to drop the hammer by 100 WP/lvl. (Command Upgrades lvl 5)
- MCC: Allows the CO to move the MCC across the battlefield. He could only move to sockets where a player has placed a beacon. Moving the MCC would not be without risk, it would take an increased amount of damage the closer it is to enemy controlled Null Cannons. (Commander lvl 5)
- - MCC Speed: Increase the speed at which the MCC moves. (MCC lvl 1)
- - MCC Damage: Increase the base damage the MCC deals to the enemy MCC. (MCC lvl 3)
- - MCC Resistance: Decrease the extra damage received by Null Cannons when close to them. Would not modify base damage dealt. (MCC lvl 5)
NEW EQUIPMENT
Beacon: Must be placed on a socket on the map. Allows the CO to place a deployable or move the MCC to that location. The basic beacon has 1, enhanced has 2, and complex has 3. Lvl 2 and 4 of the skill would have higher HP versions of the beacon.
Deployable Repair Tool: Increased repair amount for deployables.
NEW DEPLOYABLES
Repair Depot: Repair depot would triage any unit within 5 meters line of sight. This depot should repair less than the repair tools, but more then nano hives. Have different ones unlocked by Repair Depot Skill Upgrade skill, better range or increased amount like repair tools.
Scanner: Scans constantly in a 50 meter radius. Narrow the scan aperture for increased scan strength. Starts as an omnidirectional sweep, narrowed to 180 deg, 90 deg, 45 deg, and 15 degree. Would need to be adjusted by a player on the ground. Aimed like a turret and hitting the fire button would change apertures with a readout on the bottom with scan strength. Very slow traversal. Different scanners based on Scanner Upgrade skill lvl with better scan strengths. |
