This came to me while reminiscing my early online multiplayer times(aka noob years)
A gameplay mode called Taxer of the hill.
The match starts with the teams fighting over a relatively fortified area near the center of the map which is a mining/resource harvesting facility.
There would be a plethora of neutral Ai enemies fighting both teams if they get close to the facility, but they can be stopped completely by capturing or destroying the clone vat(s). There would be two heavily armoured but weaponless MCC variants that would be able to harvest the materials gained from the facility and as long as that is going on, the isk earned for actions completed near/in the facility would be multiplied (possibly by 3 or 4 times) and the losing team/team with the least amount of materials harvested would earn either no isk or a very small amount.
The point of this game mode would be to promote teamwork and have a higher risk vs reward.
Any thoughts?
Edit 1: npc corp is now replaced by a player owned facility
Edit 2: in corp matches all earnings go directly to the corp wallet |

Is it a great idea? Terrible? Exploitable? Unfair? Unforgiving? Please give some kind of feedback! |

so you'd be fighting bots and basically sending your spare teammates over to screw the other team over and try and get them over run? could work
The bots would be fighting both teams until they eithet run out of bot clones or the bot's spawn(s) is taken |

The Ai vehicles would basically be militia vehicles working as intended ( tanks going after enemy vehicles and installations, dropships ferrying squads to the frontline, an lavs rushing vehicles to objectives and installations). People will be fighting other players as well as Ai so that won't be a big problem. |

Think of this as like going into deep null, high risk but great reward as far as earnings go. |

There really isn't much risk/better reward in low so this is a perfect example of either earning multiple of the reg amount or nothing |

Do you find that ore used to make morphite in low? The best I've seen is omber and that was in a .1 area next to null |

I wanted feedback to the idea before posting it elsewhere |

This could make a decent corp match only setup because of it's risk of potentially not making a dime and the possibility of making over one mil in a single match |

Any thoughts? You lost me as soon as you said "Ai enemies". I'm not a huge fan of fighting a computer controlled enemy,nor do I like any iteration of a horde mode game type.
The Ai enemies won't even be the biggest problem, they're just defending what was a neutral area |
