Title said sky spawn so...

Ditching the MCC?

What are we jumping out or off of to deploy to the planets?

Just picture it. Activating your inertia dampener from space and your free falling while loading the map, When finished loading you land in the district!

Titanfall what?

Hi guys,

IGÇÖm here to have a chat about Salvage. That is, deploying to the surface of a planet and searching for valuable loot. YouGÇÖre not the only one with this bright idea of course, reclaimer drones (and other players) are there doing the same thing and theyGÇÖre probably not all that keen that you are too!

This is a pretty important part of the Legion economy since this salvage gathered by players is what will supply the market. ItGÇÖs something weGÇÖre beginning to look at now and I would like to hear your thoughts and harvest your ideas about it. This will then allow me to pretend all the good ones were mine.

So, you have 3 main components:

• The ability to search for and find loot
• Armed drones that search and gather loot
• Other players that most likely have varying reasons for being thereGǪ

What would make for interesting ways to search for good salvage? What kind of player interactions do you think would be interesting? How do you think drones should behave?

Have at it!

One of the Dust trailers shows what a sky spawn should be: essentially a landing pod that you jump out of as it goes through the atmosphere.

Imagine that Rock being thrown into a Hornet's nest is the Drone Hive after it takes about 1/8th of it's shields from a Rail gun tank. This is how I would like to see these Rogue Drones react.

I'm not suggesting all areas would be like that. Not being sure who to trust would be part of the fun but I do think you need some safe places to learn the ropes.

Testing has gone pretty well. WeGÇÖve added in the drift mechanics and weGÇÖve also created GÇÿorbital drop uplinksGÇÖ so you can make more targeted drops. We did in fact have a playtest yesterday and they do really mix things up. Unlike drop uplinks you donGÇÖt have to put them where you want to spawn. You can put them a way off and then drift to your intended target. This was really exciting for assaulting objectives because you could drop a strike team right on top of them. It made things feel a lot more dynamic as well as just making you feel like a badass!
