Liches/Sisters should send Death Squads

[(PSN)BloodyHell]

It's been proposed before, but since it's been a couple years now I figure it couldn't hurt to rekindle discussion about it.

Other than a controlled planets Reward Tax and actively hunting a Lich/Sister, there's not much else they do to engage with players. Since we already have the system of Syndicates sending Death Squads, it'd be a natural fit to have your active Lich/Sister send a Death Squad as well. The odds of triggering should remain the same as regular Syndicate/Assassin Death Marks, and they'd be able to attack on most planets and nodes so that they maintain a relevant presence.

The Death Squad itself doesn't have to be too special, can just be Eximus Grineer/Corpus units (Although having them be some of the more unique types like a Kuva Bailiff or Optio would be neat and allow them to stand out) that spawn at the same level as other Eximus Death Squads, but at least one of them should be a Thrall/Hound to give Requiem progress, along with the same drop chance for a Requiem Relic and possibly a guaranteed drop for a small bundle of Kuva or a single Corrupted Key upon being mercy killed. This allows folks not actively hunting their adversary to keep making progress, but the much slower rate doesn't negate doing regular controlled territory missions as the optimal method of progression.

Nothing much left to say really. Just like the idea of doing a survival on Jupiter only to be surprised by a large PinP message from Hahkk Fakk taunting the player and then having a Kuva hit squad show up to be fun and intimidating both for new and returning players.

Yeah that'd be neat I'd be down to see that. Although players that "accidentally" a lich will probably hate it. Liches should probably have a micro quest to unlock considering how many times I've seen complaints about accidental liches.

have death squads be a second way to get progress on the lich, it sends like 5 eximus or strongest variant of enemy* Thralls, these thralls only die with Mercy Finishers and killing them helps unlock the sequence that you need to defeat the Lich. 

 

*Kuva Lich for example would summon Heavy gunners and Noxs.

Also, I'd personally prefer it if they not only stole ALL your rewards from a planet mission but put some kind of multiplier on them at the end, because right now this mechanic is borderline meaningless/trivial.
