New Immersive Extraction [Ideas]

[Magnagar]

Hey guys, I got some ideas to how Tenno's extract from their missions and I would like some of your thoughts and opinions. Maybe not a total overhaul, but some subtle tweaking with what we have could potentially make extracting more immersive. I'll try to make this short.

Our typical extraction is getting to the end, waiting for your teammates and...that's it, the job is done. But what if instead we had to help each other extract? Imagine you aren't going Solo and in order for your teammates to extract, you'd have to press on a button by the pod with your action key giving them the O.K. precautionary check for a safe extract. You never know, the pod could be faulty and may fail to launch! 0_0!

When extractions are involved, precautions are important!

Whether it's in a Grineer ship that has 4 pod slots for each frame to a Corpus ship where there is only 1 pod slot or the outdoors where your personal Liset picks you up and takes you away are sequences that can become more of a specific challenge and a whole different alternative ending transition altogether.

Lets say we use the Corpus ship where there is only 1 pod. How do we all extract at the same time if there is only 1 pod? What if we don't and use the pod individually? Here's a scenario. Its a rescue mission and all 5 of us reach the extraction point. The first person who would go would have to be the rescued hostage. Very important that the VIP goes first. Then each Tenno would go 1 by 1. As the pod is traveling between the Corpus ship's exterior to the Tenno's personal Liset, Tennos would have delay, forcing them to defend the area from encountered Corpus fire.

I think this would create an essence to extractions where we are all valued as a teammate(including hostages) and bringing extractions to a whole new level.

If we are in a Grineer ship with 4 pods and it's also a rescue mission, it would be similar to where the hostage would go first and the 4 Tennos would have to stay back and wait till the pod has returned. Then having 3 out of the 4 needing a precautionary check before sending them off to their Lisets.

When doing a mission outdoors, usually the Liset comes down from the sky and flies towards the bottom of the zone from where your standing in. What if we needed to all jump of the ledge and land into the pod slot while the Liset takes off?

I call it "Super Intense Extraction 1.0!!!"

Terrible Puns are welcome :)

What do you guys think?

Definitely a +1, I have always found myself quite bored of the normal extraction animation and for all the fuss that Lotus makes about getting to extraction, I feel like it should be a really fun experience. That ledge idea sounds great! If we had to jump off and dive for a small amount of time because the "extraction area was blocked or under heavy fire" and skydive in a way to gt to our ships. (Tennodiving?)

All my +1's, have them!

[VYR3]

+1 I like it.

[Shad0wWatcher]

Your a friggin genius man! Take my +1 and a cookie.

[MissFairy]

Sounds awesome +1

[Bunnysanta]

Sounds epic, I also think that extractions now are kinda lame.

Thank you guys!

See this is making what I said even better. I was originally thinking of that scene in back to the future 2 where Marty is on the rooftop of Biffs building and he jumps off onto the delorean. Now the whole diving down is a total enhance. If there was a mission where sabotage would cause the ship to explode after destroying the core and jumping off the ledge wasn't an option. Dropping a loooong way down and dodging debris while trying to get to the Liset's safe point would be EPIC!!

If you guys got any other ideas to extractions, don't be shy and throw it in this topic!

+1 and bless this idea!!

Archwing exctractions? Sabotage, ship is exploding, we have to escape the blast radius because the ship was "carrying explosives" and now the Liset has to stay at a safe distance while you make your way through space to get away from the imminent explosion. (This would only happen if everyone in the squad had Archwing.)

That's awesome! I like that!

Would be nice to have a mission where we'd have to transition between both gameplays.

Bumping this..

Its been a while. :D

i think there's a rule that bumping isn't allowed..

anyways, this might work or not. well, we need new rooms for extraction actually, because why would corpus and grineer ships have those human shaped stencils-half-cylinder-that act as doors to the liset? see? we either need to change these extraction rooms or change how the liset-hostileship connections as to somewhat lore-friendly? maybe for a change of the rooms, we could put those glass windows like the kind on corpus ships, and maybe let the liset or the tennos break it with the liset outside of it and then jumping a small distance while also integrating with the liset door. but yeah +1 to op

Well, this has been underwater for quite sometime! Wondering what you guys think about this concept/idea.
