DUST Search - [SUGGESTION] Defender has no MCC.

This style of gameplay was seen back in replication with the Two-Stage Map.

For those of your unfamiliar with this style of game, the attacker started at one end of a 'pathway' style of map. (In this instance a canyon) and had to destroy 2 'security points' to access the last portion of the map (the installations we have now). Then you had to disable the NULL cannons on that facility (holding the points so they don't get reactivated) until your MCC docks at the base and takes control of it.

All the time during this game mode, your MCC is under fire from the NULL cannons. If, during the first stage, your MCC loses its shields before the security points are taken out, the MCC withdraws, battle is lost. If the checkpoints are taken out, your MCC will press on through armour and be destroyed if the NULL Cannons are not disabled for a great enough length of time.

The most prevalent part of this, however, is that the defender had no 'MCC'... why would they? They have the ability (when defending) to base their operations out of the installation they own instead.

This entire gameplay mode was, by far, a much better sense of tactical and progressive gameplay, and while the defenders had the advantage, that is how it really should have been.

On that note, the defenders also got a short time before the attackers deployed to 'set their defences' so to speak. Since all turret installations were initially in the hands of the defender, and not 'neutral'.

See my post "return of conquest." Maybe CCP will combine our post

But if defenders were to have the advantage, attacks should get a greater reward. Could be balanced out with the new MCCs. Back when this was the only skirmish game mode (and line harvest was the only skirmish map), we didn't spawn on the MCC, as it would be slowly flying north the whole battle.

CRONOS. 1191	Posted - 2013.04.01 00:58:00 - [7] - Quote in my opinion they should bring back the skirmish from the E3 build where the MCC was moving accross the map. defenders didnt had a MCC but had all points to defend. The attackers spawned at their starting area and had to actually take the objectives. If the attackers took a nullcanon then it deactivated to give the MCC time to dock up. When the MCC docked the defenders tac net went down resulting in a win for the attackers. Because the MCC is moving it would be interesting to see how the MCC spawnpoint would work out cause CCP added that on the codex build.

Mercenary Group 214	Posted - 2013.04.01 01:07:00 - [8] - Quote I like the "Pull a victory out of nothing" aspect, but there was a reason we moved away from that. The attackers are starting out in a red line position. I have a few questions for you: How would you make "making a push" attractive to the attackers? We get just as much if we win or lose. The players who switch to their sniper load out when the match goes south would just begin the match that way. How would Manus Peak work? Currently one side already has an advantage on the map. How could the attackers make a push if all of the defenders spawned on B and moved against them? Would you give the attackers 'tactical' (read: random) installation drops to help them in their push? If you can answer those questions, I'll be pretty close to sold.
