Station Capturing gametype/mechanic
Not sure if it's already planned, but the ability to capture stations intact, not to mention fighting on space and asteroid installations adds some interesting potential for combat options and significant impact in both EVE and Dust.
Mechanics
The victory condition is to either deplete or prevent the depletion of a "Control" bar (based on which side you are on) which will determine at the end of a period of time who controls the facility.
The more damaged a facility is, the easier it is for attackers to deplete control via hacking stations. The opposite is true for defenders, who will slow the loss of control by keeping all systems online and in good repair.
The owners of a facility (in eve) can improve its defenses via firewalls, turrets, NPC guards and drones. NPC guards are the cheapest, but will not respawn during a match. Drones will constantly be built during a match until their factory is destroyed, they can be hacked, as can their facility be hacked. Turrets can only be hacked via control point stations, and firewalls make hacking anything in the station more difficult for the opposing force.
"But what about vehicles and orbital strikes?"
Orbital strikes remain in the form of precision strikes, designed to take out or weaken specific infrastructure of a facility. Alternatively, if this becomes a MAJOR feature in the game, you could even void certain sections of the station, cutting off access and killing anyone inside, though there would be alternate corridors that would open.
As for vehicles, players could instead call down NPC reinforcements, Drones and turrets.
PVE Facility Assault
For both practice, amusement, and a good source of income akin to missions for contacts in EVE, players can form small squads and attack randomized facilities to complete randomized objectives, often against pirates or hostile navy forces.
Again, Eve pilots can help in these missions to some regard depending on their magnitude, though they will likewise be limited by ship much as the mercs are limed by number. |
