Archwing Flight/Usage Change Request


Recommended Posts

This thread's intend is to drive a change to Archwing use, within the various modes they are available in and some they are currently not. 
More specifically, (and this is in regard to existing Archwing deployable missions) the intent is to have deploy and recall capabilities at all times, just like we do currently in open worlds. 

Why add this? The answer is quite simple! To expand the battle mechanics surrounding them and to expand on the play mechanics of the missions themselves.

What does this mean? 

It means whether we fight in current Archwing Only missions, large arena ground missions or whether in Railjack missions, we can land on any surface, (i.e. large and small asteroids, ship wreckage  and/or other ship surfaces, from the small to the enormous) and cause the Archwing to recall. 

At points such as these, we should be able to:

  • Land on asteroid surfaces and Take cover from enemies
  • Use our ground weaponry against all enemies, as long as we are on foot
  • Land on large platform surfaces and battle enemies on the surfaces
  • Utilize our Spectors, Pets, Sentinels and such to battle on these surfaces with us
  • Utilize our Tenno abilities (which should be greater by the way!) ***Looking at you DE Scott and DE Steve***
  • Deploy Heavy Guns to fire at greater enemies or enemies who are still in flight
  • Land on, and sabotage small aircraft with our Parazon (Perhaps Putting a Railjack Gunner or Engineer in Remote Control of the craft)
  • Land on, and highjack small aircraft (cinematically ripping enemies from their aircraft/spacecraft using brute force attacks, Warframe abilities and/or Parazon attacks)
  • Land on, and destroy small, and medium sized ships (cinematically ripping the aircraft/spacecraft apart using brute force attacks, Warframe abilities and/or Parazon attacks), then either dive from one ship to another, destroying, highjack-ing and sabotaging... even utilizing them to barrage other ships and surfaces with kamikaze-like attacks, where we fly instantly away from them in our Archwing in grand fashion! 
  • Experience Close Encounters with enemies also making use of the surfaces
  • Engage Large Battle Mechs similar in nature to Thumpers, which not only attack what's near them on the surface, but attempt to attack those in the air, or flying through space in Archwing, Highjacked ships or Railjacks 
  • Instant Deploy Archwings to battle just above the surfaces, or flee from them if and when overwhelmed
  • Experience large and small aircraft bombarding the surfaces we attempt to utilize, similar to, yet more fantastic than when we we are attacked by ships in the Open worlds!

Surfaces such as these should be ones we can battle on and these very same areas should exist in Empyrean missions

Large arenas like E-Gate should also become Archwing deployable and eventually be tied into full Archwing and Railjack missions,  where battles may start there or end up there.

As you can see, changes to Archwing and the arenas where they can be (and/or could be used). open up massive opportunities for the entire game and should be strongly considered in every regard! Not only would this enhance the use of Archwings, it would enhance a number of arenas in Warframe, including Railjack, which still needs to become so much more than it is!
