Jordas Precept vs. Railjack?

[Lysander_Salamander]

Wouldn't it be cool if the final mission of the Jordas Precept was a Railjack mission?  Maybe start out like normal, with the decoy juggernaut and the archwing, but then after a little bit your Railjack flies in and you can board it.  Perhaps you can only take the hitpoints down to a certain threshold, and Ordis claims your archguns don't have the power to penetrate to the golem's core.  And then Cy joins enters the voice-chat and warps into the arena.

 

Either that, or it could be a two-part mission.  The first part is as usual, but you have to stop halfway due to your archwing not having what it takes to take the golem out.  And then you can match-make a railjack mission to do the proper boss battle?  Not sure which way would be easier to do match-making and taxi services.

Yes.

Nice idea. Jordas should be more aggressive boss fight.

I remember them saying in the devestream that railjack will be archwing's new home so maybe this is a possibility.

As someone who already has a built and well-equipped railjack, I would agree that this would be a neat idea. Although I'm not totally sure how suitable our railjacks (in their current form) are for fighting bigger ships: Jordas Golem seems to be at least the size of a Grineer Galleon, and the RJ missions we currently have don't involve actually fighting anything that big.

But looking at it from the point of view of a novice who's just unlocked Eris, this does look like quite a bad idea. At the very least, the quest would need to be locked behind building a Railjack. And in reality, completion of that quest would require them to first do quite a lot of farming for railjack avionics and wreckage. And that is significantly beyond the level of progress that any other frames require.

Hell no. Jordas golem is pretty tiny as far as those things go - railjack sized or less. It also dies pretty hard to a few velocitus shots, making it much less tanky than an ordinary grineer crewship.

Not sure about the scale - it's really quite garbled up in archwing missions (try picking up an ayatan star in one of those - either the stars are MUCH bigger, or a warframe on an archwing somehow becomes the size of Titania in her razorwing form)

As for tankiness - the whole (thematic) idea of the proposal would be for the Golem to somehow become too tanky for archguns (making railjack necessary).
