Red Veil Raid Mission Type. ( Raid Reintroduction )

[Ethice]

Long ago in Warframe's youth there was a raid mission type that I personally enjoyed having in the game. It was a straight forward quick run with a clear objective. I admit it was a bit too simple and had no real challenge, but the idea was pleasant in my opinion.

I'de like to see the raid mission type make a come back to Warframe and I have an idea to make it a little more fun and challenging.

A few events ago we were made aware of a human group known as the Red Veil. They've sort of fallen off of the radar since then. I think it would be an interesting addition to the game to have a Red Veil "Invasion" style mission type called Red Viel raids. The mission would entail assisting a small group of Red Veil steal Corpus and Grineer resource caches. You would enter the mission by an arial drop into an area of conflict where the Red Veil and either enemy faction are barrel to barrel. The Red Veil would explain that the path to the extraction area is too fortified for them to make it to the extraction area on their own hense why they are asking for Tenno assistance. You would traverse the area to a room with the cache the Veil intend to steal then assist them in clearing it until their evacuation ship arives to extract the recources and the Veil operatives.

 

Enemies would spawn constantly throughout the map until the final room is reached where you will have to kill all enemies within that room similarly to the minor extermination portion of Interception missions. Once the room is cleared the mission will be completed and the Red Veil dropship will fly in and dock.

 

This mission would spawn on nodes similarly to the Grineer, Corpus and Infested invasion and infestation missions. It would require 3 runs for the reward which would be credits or various resource caches such as Oxium or Rubedo and rarely rare resource caches such as Neural Sensors or Morphics.

 

The Corpus and Grineer already have existing map rooms that would be perfect for this. On Grineer asteroid base sabotage missions you're often sent to a large docking room with a single Grineer dropship sitting in the center. The Corpus also have their own large docking room that would be feasable for this mission.

Works for me

[Mirriky]

Yea, I'm in for this

Feel like you are fighting for a decent cause instead of watching children squabble with invasions (I just leave them and watch them kill each other from the map screen)

 

But I like the Red Veil and this could be a nice way to explore more of the lore for them and see them in action, albeit with our help.

Sounds like a good idea to me, would be interesting to start having more red veil stuff, make the game more interesting than jsut the same 3 main factions over and over again.

That's a great idea for the revival of raids.

The idea draws out a path for lots of possibilities. Perhaps extended support of Red Veil could reward the player with a Red Veil spectre of sorts.

This would be a nice addition to the game and it would create a stronger sense of life, if you will, in the universe.

I think the idea is solid. I can see the largest shuttle bay as the Veil's extraction point on a Corpus map, as the Corpus could easily reinforce it, making it hard to clear.

That works, and it would in the very least, serve to make raids more interesting.

Exactly. There's a similar map tile on Grineer asteroid bases that would serve the same purpose so there wouldn't be much need to make a whole tile for this mission type.

Anything that would add more to the game world is welcomed. Especially since we've seen these Red Veil once so far, but hear constant Grineer chatter about them in the Liset.

Exactly. I think it would be cool to actually be able to assist the Red Veil on a more regular basis to give us a better sense of their efforts in connection with the Corpus and the Grineer
