Lotus Transmissions For Invasions/outbreaks

[AuroraSonicBoom]

I'd like to suggest having the Lotus inform us directly of invasions and infestation outbreaks appearing and progressing, additionally to the chat message containing all the details. It would give missions a more dynamic feeling if Lotus also informs us about important developments outside of our current objective.

 

To prevent Lotus spam(and Rebecca getting a sore throat), invasion and infestation related messages would have to be generic and only inform us about them at certain stages. In my opinion those stages would be:

 

For Invasions:

* First node of a sector being invaded

* The conquest of the first node during an invasion

* If 30% of the nodes in a sector have been conquered(previously conquered nodes included)

* Invasion having been defended

 

For Outbreaks:

* First node of a sector getting infested

* Outbreak spreading(4+ sector nodes being infested)

* Phorid manifestation

* Outbreak having been stopped/defended

 

Lotus' lines during these transmissions could be created modularly to cut down on production costs and make it easier to expand upon instead of recording lines for each planet and faction individually. Some examples for invasion transmissions would be: 

"||Tenno:|| The Grineer have started invading|| Corpus Territory.|| Location:|| Eris,|| Acanth.|| Do what you think is right.||"

"||Tenno:|| Eris|| is no longer at war.|| Aided by us, Corpus forces stopped the Grineer at|| Gnathos.|| The sector is now largely under Grineer control.||"

 

That way most of the voice recording work can be reused in any similar transmission and also allows to for simple customisation of transmissions based on how the faction standing of individual players.

 

 

Thanks.
