+1 great idea!

Might I suggest boarding be done by one ship firing several grappling hooks which punch into the enemy MCC's hull, allowing the players to go ziplining into it, much like a sci-fy version of how pirates would swing onto enemy ships.

This would be AWESOME!!

I still want, though I think null cannons should do less damage to extend the battle. This is to offset how fast battles could end as a result of boarding.

I also still would like to see something like Skirmish 1.0 return as a separate game mode.

All they need to do is if you team holds all the main objectives increase the rate of the MCC gets pounded significantly.


It will end the game quicker and produce same result as the game dragging on for 10-15 minutes. Simple solution.

I like this idea... but still...

When I play skirmish with just my 2 friends I know IRL it's a bit boring yes, but when I play with my Corp it's pretty fun. I find that if you play with tactics things are so much more fun because it's not "we have all the objectives lets relax" it's "WE HAVE ALL THE OBJECTIVES QUICK DEFEND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!"

Though a Titan mode would be sweet, I loved that game, having the option to destroy from the inside or the outside... but I don't think it would work out well...

They only problem with this( i love it it sounds amazing!) is that Spawn killing would get ramped up to an all new high. Imagine you get stuck inside your MCc because there is a dropship at your jump zone??????? Even if you got out you would get mauled at the bottom because the damge zone would be gone:/ its a great idea but maybe it needs a bit more tweaking.

Is boring.
Let me elaborate.
Currently its a snooze fest 2/3 of the time and usually when u cap all objectives the game just drags on

Solution: Make Skirmish 2.0 MORE like Titan Mode from BF2142
Right now skirmish 2.0 is a half ass titan mode + BF style conquest.

For those that dont know titan mode from bf 2142 basically its skirmish 2.0 BUT u can board the enemy titan and blow it up from the inside when the shields have been dropped.

Implement that in DUST. Let us board the MCC if the shields are down and either end the game quicker or if peeps are losing make a last ditch desperate attempt to win by assaulting the MCC if they get the shields down.

Give us options. Add some URGENCY to the game so even a team dominating has to be ready and on their toes to counter a possible MCC boarding attempt.

One thing i keep reading from ppls posts on the forum is that skirmish 2.0 lacks that urgency in battles.
Thoughts guys?

PS: Also bring back Skirmish 1.0 or something similar along with updating skirmish 2.0, hopefully by letting us board the MCC, to make it more exciting.
