Anything you can tell us about the capital ship infiltration [FPS boarding actions aboard an Idris or Javelin] that we've been discussing on and off with Arena Commander for years?asked by Johnny
TL;DRChris wants a capital ship boarding mode with PvE and it must get done after something else first; experimental modes make complex modes easier to try, but no commitment is given.
Yes. Chris wants this so badly. And this is a mode that we've really got to get done. And I want to get one thing done first, and then we will be getting into something like this that has PvE, because, yeah, he wants to capture the Idris. We want a combined thing that is the experience everybody wants. You start off in a fleet battle and you end up trying to take over a cap ship. You're assaulting the Idris. You're taking over a Bengal. Whatever it is, an assault on a huge capital ship that actually doesn't just happen outside is a super fun experience, I think. And that's what a lot of people are looking for. And now, with experimental modes set up in the way that we are, it's very, very easy for us to run and try out different modes that could be as complex as this. We wanted to start easy, and we did, with sort of single-weapon elimination type stuff, Tonk Royale stuff, and even gun game. But there's no saying that more complex experimental modes aren't on the horizon.
