I agree with the OP,but to make things more interesting I suggest the ability to STEAL whats on the POCO.
I know what you're thinking,"That's evil".Yes,it is,but profitable.Just imagine it,EVE players recruiting DUST corps just to be able to raid POCOs for some sweet loot.This could be like another game mode or a side objective when attacking them,A chance to be a pirate.Now looting the POCO would be as simple as locating the cargo hold,hacking the doors open,then simply calling for your EVE pilot to get you...then holding off the other team till he comes,if the attackers fail to hold long enough or are all killed off at the cargo hold,the defenders just lock the doors and wait and see if they try again.Now,IF you hold off long enough the EVE pilot will come to whisk that precious loot away with you on it or without if you want to continue the raid or not...question is will he make it!?Because ships might be guarding the cargo hold...so they have a dogfight so your EVE buddy could bring his own buddies to the fight depending on the situation.Now there could be multiple cargo holds on the POCO and multiple entrances into the POCO,This sort of "pirate raid mode" is like conquest in bf3 but with a time limit,say 20-30 minutes with a clone count OR 1-2 cargo holds with no time limit and a clone count.The cargo holds will have a sort of health bar to show how much they still have in them.The attacking team could lose by not having a ride home,the clone count goes to zero or the timer runs out before they get all of the cargo.If they do win,well,the defenders bodies are littered on the floor,or they get all the cargo out and escape in style while being chased by other ships or the silence of victory as debris floats in space on the ride back.Rewards for the EVE players would be that sweet booty(not that booty,the pirate kind of booty),or the POCO(for a fee),or both.The dust players would get salvage,A LOT OF IT(like say,the chance to get 50 GEK-38s in ONE match,or maybe even some tanks) and also a minimum 250 ISK on victory and also the payment promised by the EVE player.Now with this,POCOs could be guarded by fleets of ships outside,and mercs on the inside.Bodyguarding and Piracy for POCOs would be new job options for both Dust and Eve players.But I don't know much about POCOs aside from what OP said 'cause I'm just a dust merc so...thoughts? |
