Infestation and Corpus factions rework

[ShiroNight]

Greetings, Tenno!

I am one of the representatives of the Russian community group "Warframe in Soviet Russia" (wisoru). Not so long ago, our subscribers began to offer their own ideas for improving the game, which resulted in whole interesting articles. So, our group decided to help this people translate this articles into English and posting them on the forum. Here I publish the first translated article. Do not blame me if there is a mistake somewhere, since I know English not on a professional level. But I will be able to discuss on behalf of the author.This is a small experiment, and if you find it interesting what we do, then we will be ready to publish articles about other factions and much more. Hope for your support and understanding! 
UPD: All other articles will publish in "Fan Concept" category. Check them there.

"First I will report that the rework is purely ideological in nature and details like stats and awards will not be described. 

Infestation Rework

Accidental Infestation

The enemies of this faction, for my reasons, can attack in locations that are not prone to infection at the start of the mission. Each location allows collision with infecting flows from the Kuiper Belt. Spores cause the reincarnation of soldiers in the location. Therefore, there will be no infected Grineer at the Corpus locations. The combined forces are characteristic for locations already belonging to the Infected and for special bioreactors called «Plague Stars». So, accidental infection is the «dark» side of the faction who controls the location. This sight allows to add new types of enemies.

Infection Counter

As soon as the first tumor-reactor appears on the location, this counter is turned on. The more kills are committed by the infected, the more powerful types of forces producing reactors. When the counter is filled, capsules with Ancients arrive on the battlefield, from the absorbed Orokin Derelict. They are not ordinary enemies more (except the ancient retinue, reminiscent of the usual Ancients from the actual build of the game) and significantly enhanced, including the ability to influence the mind of Tenno. They are also similar to Lefantis and his children, i.e. change their forms depending on the victims. Signs of many factions, often in the form of a mutalist-ornaments, have only the strongest Ancients. The longer the counter is full, the higher the chance of the mini-bosses arriving from the ranks of the Ancients: Anglers, Dodgers and Musicians. Anglers are obese figures with huge mouths and in robes of flesh. The danger lies in their luminous bait lures causing the warframes to approach the mouths. Dodgers are similar to the Grineet Maniacs, but they are attacked by large groups of invisible never dividing. Musicians suppress the abilities of warframes thanks to disgusting hymns.

Resetting the counter is possible with the destroying of tumors and the infected ones themselves. Killing Ancients completely reset the counter. In the worlds of infected, it is filled from the beginning of the mission. And that's not all. The walls themselves are attacking the Tenno. The air is poisonous and causes vivid visions, for example, the illusion of a thick fog with ghosts. This is used by the Dodgers attacking from an ambush.

Superorganism

Infected more strongly together. The larger the crowd, the stronger each in it. With some disadvantage (it's below). Gradually, the location is covered by a "grass" (similar to Nidus's ability) giving accelerated regeneration to the infected, but the health is pulled from the infected by downloading to the needy. So, you can kill particularly powerful infected by destroying their retinue, if there is a field of "grass". The counter depends on the "fruit" growing in this field. Even the simplest charger can disrupt the mutalist weapon from the "bush" and significantly increase its firepower. Also from the counter depends the degree of danger of killing the infected. Dead bodies can exhale a toxin, but can also shoot with needles with a toxin.

Garrulous horde

Infestation actively communicates with Tenno, injecting a peculiar atmosphere. The longer Tenno is on a location with a full counter, the more voices cry out to him, strange music begins to play. The most experienced Tenno are able to learn in these voices the plans of the infected and extract information necessary for the search and destruction of reactors (they are marked on the minimap).

War to the last spore

Tenno should eliminate all infection on the location. Ordinary infected ships should be blown up, which requires accelerated mobile defense when laying explosives. If this is not done, the mission remains uneventful. You can be evacuated, having received a reward for carrying out the main task, but there will be a temporary possibility of returning and destroying the threat. With individual awards. If you do not return, «gardeners» will be sent for Tenno. A new kind of Ancient wearing sandans, as if they were infected directly at a secular reception (reference to the "Mask of Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe), armed with scythes and capable of rewarding the warframe with a tumor that attracts infecting and affecting the counter infection (can be removed with Helminth). You can avoid destruction if you transfer the ships to the mysterious «Ananta» syndicate engaged in studying the infected, but the rewards for this will be different.

Corpus Rework 

Cash Counter

It changes depending on the losses and successes of the enemy. As the counter is being filled, reinforcements and freelancers are bought (they are described below). Dropped from orbit or delivered by drones boxes with equipment. Inside the boxes: armor, the drones of the nullifiers and much more. You can intercept the boxes and reset the account counter. But if we give reinforcements to the enemy, they can build mobile fortifications (building a "turtle") and fire at the Tenno with electric chains. It is possible to use high-precision projectiles, radiation grenades and the most powerful drones.

In addition to intercepting the boxes and destroying the enemies, the counter reduces the breaking of terminals of several types and the destruction of technology in the locations. To detect important technology, you need to intercept radio broadcasts of soldiers displayed on the minimap.

Freelancers

They possess not only randomized equipment and special abilities, but also dialogues. Tenno can make fun of them, causing retaliatory bullying or fury (as lucky). Fury is useful in that freelancers can destroy valuable equipment by reducing the cash counter.

The appearance of freelancers is not limited to rules for punitive detachments or pursuers. New shuttles with adventurers will arrive again and again as long as the troops have a cash counter active in the location. Simply put, the Corpus buys services from freelancers whirling around their fleets. And while the tenno is not exhausted at the level of finance, new ones arrive. For the heads of freelancers there are rewards and you can sell trophies to warring factions.

Transactions

The ships of the Corpus are equipped with all the benefits of civilization, but few soldiers have enough credits to use them. Paid surgical capsules, for example, can completely cure the soldiers. Such conditions compel the squads to compete among themselves.

On a mission, three parties can be contacted with Tenno:

The Provisors will offer the transaction. In exchange for causing non-fatal, but severe wounds, they will pay a percentage of the paid use of auto-surgeons. Commanders accept bets on the outcome of the mission with different conditions. One of the conditions is the passage through the survival of all the enemy soldiers. Drones can be destroyed and they have an increased chance of appearing. Scientists usually communicate on missions against the Corpus or mercenaries of Corpus. Tenno undertake to collect samples for a fee. Of course, it is possible in this way to intercept the data on the location of the scientist and capture it. The same is true for all of the above.

Bionics

Corpus Machines borrow forms not only from nature, but also from works of ancient art. There are huge animal-like machines resembling elephants, tigers, rhinoceroses and even spiders combining powerful energy weapons with brute force. Such animals pursue tenno in the most eerie places of the System and are often exposed to infection with the most disastrous consequences. Often, meeting with a pack of wolves is much more dangerous than meeting even Sentients. Corpus Machines are also often targeted at people as a result of the actions of competing corporations and act practically independently, carving out entire settlements. Tenno is forced to regularly hunt these creatures in special missions consisting of several stages, including tracking down, baiting and fighting with cornered large predators.

Games

The Index is not the only fun of corporate agents. There are races on aircar among hurricanes of Jupiter, huge amphitheaters, where captives are torn to pieces by hacked beasts...

Mutalists

Infection sooner or later will destroy all life in the System, so the Corpus seeks to control the Infection in one way or another. Even peaceful mutalists, who force the infected to retreat, are kidnapped for the sake of research and creating an army of mutalists capable of protecting the Corpus and ensuring its domination. For Tenno, this means a new type of invasion, where the Corpus mutalists use infected cephalons and other technologies to control the Infestation, with followed attacks by golems on the Relay".

Why so talented people not working on DE ?🤔 She cool .☻

Seems pretty cool!

Very ravel... interesting.

@[DE]Rebecca should read this

[Xaxma]

They could use some of these ideas for the infestation to rework the invasion system.

 

[Metall1st3]

Sounds interesting indeed. Hope they'll implement at least some of those mechanics.

[ArestaNTz]

Good

[peterc3]

It's a lot of work, that's great, but... it completely upends every bit of lore that we have about the Infestation and how it works. This is more like a completely different faction, maybe more stereotypically "alien", but has little of the current game in it.
