Archaeological/Research/Spy Quests (basically star-chart/nightmare/endgame bounties)

[Maka.Bones]

Secret/hidden/unlockable/random quests, that we could acquire periodically by a specified trigger, or a randomly triggered event. It would be similar to old warframe quests, in that you would need to travel to different places/planets, but delivered with more of a nightwave/alerts theme. 

 

This is the basic structure for the quest generator, would work a lot like bounties but for the star chart (some of the tasks may repeat):

 

1) Discovery/Acquisition of quest, prompted by one of:

- Acquire an item, or collect/build a set group of items

- Unlocked after a story/map/mastery rank progression checkpoint

- Rare/random Quest item dropped from a boss

- Scanned from a map-relic (it could be random, like ayatan sculptures)

- Discovered from a random "Hack" event

 

2) Information gathering/decypher, would require one of:

- Interrogate/capture/rescue a faction informant

- Research/scan things from an open world map/base

- Open World spy mission

- Survival run, to create a distraction so another tenno informant can get the info you need. 

 

3) verify information, and acquire final product (reward with a mod, cosmetic, or weapon/warframe blueprint). These are two mission types, combined into a single mission. The series woudl conclude with one of:

- Combination of Capture target, and spy vault missions--the captured target, or defeated boss, would give you access or the final piece of information you need to solve the puzzle, or get the blueprint.

- Absolute spy infiltration ( no alarms whatsoever... only stealth kills) leading to a boss assassination 

- Enemy base raid; combined exterminate + Sabotage missions
