Making Invasion Missions uniqueness

[Kaotyke]

I made a thread in Mission Feedback about the Invasion Missions being glorified Exterminate Missions and they havent changed since they came out... 100 Invasions in Gradivus Dilemma, my neck hurts just remembering it.

*cracks neck*

Well, this is the idea I gave in the spoiler bellow, its a mix of existing mission types.

Ship-to-Ship (The most straight foward)

Spoiler

The Ship is being boarded and you have 2 Objectives Exterminate the boarding enemy and Sabotage the means which they are boarding, after killing the enemies you will have to stop them from comming (it will work like the Void Sabotages where you reverse the Portals, but there's a difference depending on the faction)

Siding with Corpus

You have the stop the main assault of the Grineer, Grineer Dropships are comming in from the Hangar Bay where this happens, the Corpus are uploading a Virus that will disable the Dropships, you must Defend the terminal in the Hangar where they are uploading it from when you activade the Upload.

The Virus is uploaded, the enemies stopped comming and now the dropships are drifting in space, sitting ducks for the Corpus Ship's guns. The Corpus will open a Portal that will take you to the enemy ship in a nearby room, go to it and go on the offensive.***

The Objective now is to Sabotage the Ships' Core, which will leave the ship defenceless or will outright destabalize it and make the ship implode (happens sometimes, you know? That "Ship Integrity Compromized"?), and then fight your way to Extract.

Siding with Grineer

The Corpus are using a Teleporter to enter the ship from the Hangar, but the portal only allows entrance from one direction, there is a Power Core in the room, it allows them to keep the Portal open (There's 2 Power Cores, one on each side of the Portal, one cannot work without the other), Hack it to overload it. The Corpus will try to hack it back, Defend it until it blows up.

Teleporter closed and now you will Invade the Corpus Ship, go to one of the cannons where you will be shot towards the ship and invade.***

The Objective now is to Sabotage the Ships' Core, which will leave the ship defenceless or will outright destabalize it and make the ship implode (happens sometimes, you know? That "Ship Integrity Compromized"?), and then fight your way to Extract.

***It might be possible that you could use Archwing to fly to a ship to the other but for that option to become avalible, 2 criterias must be met:

1) Everyone in the Squad has Archwing

2) RNG (The Corpus Teleporter/Grineer Cannon was damaged)

Ship-to-Ground (Invading a Planet Title-Set)

There are only sighly differences from the ones above

Spoiler

Siding with Grineer/Corpus

Remember those BFGs in the Phobos/Jupiter shooting at nothing? Well, they are being used now, every Grineer/Corpus map has those, and are hitting the Grineer/Corpus Ship you are on and destroyng most Dropships. Exterminate the enemy troops that were able to enter the ship and head to the the Hangar where you will be Shot/Teleported to the Ground.

Aid the invading Grineer/Corpus and stop the cannons, but the area is locked out, hack the Terminals and Defend them from the enemy to access the next areas.

You get to the control room of the cannons and disable (hack) them to give the Invading forces the chance to win. Head to Extraction.

Ground-to-Ship (Defending a Planet Title-Set)

Spoiler

Siding with Corpus/Grineer

You start on the ground and you must Exterminate the ground forces, beware however, the enemy ship is bombarding the area. No matter who you side with you must hack a Terminal to upload a Virus to temporarily disable the Ship's cannons, Defend the Terminal from enemy forces.

Virus uploaded and you will board the Liset and take the battle to the Ship.***

Once inside you will have to Sabotage the Ship's Core which will have a 100% Chance of "Ship Integrity Compromised", head to Extraction.

***Again, the Ship's cannons were temporarily disabled, they might come back online when you are in-route, then you must use Archwing to board it, same as befopre, it will use 2 criterias:

1) Everyone in the Squad has Archwing

2) RNG
