This was a nice read, and I found most of the ideas pretty intriguing. That being said though it doesn't really seem similar to arbitrations in any way, and instead it seems like these mechanics would either be overlooked as usual (hunters being instakilled) or just do little/be annoying (the bombing galleon) I don't have enough time rn to type a full response though. Will update later with all my thoughts.

I've been checking them and taking the ones that seem a little interesting. I only take them to build up the guarantee 90% of the time, on the off chance it's for a frame I use I have fun though lol.

Also, acolytes should spawn alongside 1 or 2 arbi drones. Imagine Violence protected by arbi drones and suppressing your abilities, with arbi death consequences. He would be a genuine threat.

mostly just rewards lol, the problem with arbis rn for most people is that they're mutually exclusive with SP, so between steel essence farming or vitus essence farming most people opt for steel. the only time it's worth running arbi is if you need endo (which there are better options for), or you've maxed your kuva purchases for the week with steel essence

Sounds good lol, why not add SP Arbitration Fissures

As the title says. I've jokingly suggested it when running SP fissures or Arbis with my clan members and yet it genuinely seems like it would be fun, and also very rewarding. Imagine the combination of Vosfor, Steel Essence, Vitus Essence, and Endo you could get from Arbi and SP rewards combined. It would become an incredible farming mission while also combining two enjoyable (imo) gamemodes. Now, I'm not sure if DE would be comfortable allowing that much to all be farmed in the same mission, but at the same time these farms are already ridiculous on their own, the only challenge is choosing which to run at any given time.

Depends on the content I'm running, but for my usual SP content I'll run some combo of the following, I will list priming but nothing in my loadout is solely used as a primer: Primaries Latron Prime Incarnon for tanky enemies or whenever I just need to clear the room as fast as possible. Cedo for both priming and single target damage. Acceltra Prime for mindless roomclear in low levels Secondaries Kuva Nukor for easier room clearing than Latron, doesn't need any charge gimmick to do its job. Also a great primer with encumber. Ocucor for a more kill hungry Nukor, takes a little more upkeep with tendrils and such but also auto aims and kills quick, doesn't work well as a primer. Lex Prime Incarnon for clearing hallways with a single shot Vasto Prime Incarnon for deleting acolytes Melees Nikana Prime for combo/tennokai Venka Prime is the same as Nikana, different flavor, some synergy with frames like Ash Guandao Prime or Lesion for combo spam Any Incarnon for move speed

I feel this post misses that the entire reason AoE weapons like the Bramma, Plasmor, etc. are so prevalent is because of the specific missions that they're being used on. Low level fissures will always be dominated by the most convenient source of AoE damage. It doesn't even need to be the best amount, just enough to kill the enemies quickly because they're all low level. As for SP, Incarnons are absolutely dominant over Kuva/Tenet AoE. The amount of downtime they have is negligible if you know how to utilize them. I consistently top damage the few public missions I still run with Latron Incarnon. Changing the requirement to bodyshots would be ridiculous and remove any incentive that incarnons provide to actually use your brain every few minutes or so. TLDR: Kuva/Tenet AoE better for low level Incarnons best for SP/high level Incarnon charge is easy enough to generate already, only exception is really infested.
