Focus on teamwork, not energy

 Saw this in a General thread, and thought i would run with it.
The idea is we want bosses we can kill, and takes teams to take down.. but does NOT require a thousand energy to do. So what we have is single targetable parts. Lock that Super Star Deployer? (that looks nothing like a big floating chisel) Well, you better get 25 of your legionmates to help you take it down. Each one of you has to destroy a specific part - not hard, but percise. One guy targets the shield generator, having to do 15% of the total damage. He CANNOT to more than this. Another 5 people hit individual engines - capped at 5% each. Finally another 5 target the defensive plating, capped at 5% each as well. Well, 65% of the base is down, but these guys have to remain "locked" on their targets, much like guarding a planet. Only now, with the shields down, hull destroyed, and engines down, can the remainer of the legion kill the core of the ship (with no damage caps, but cannot be someone destroying the outer parts) Note the idea here is not to spend huge energy - just to have to work as a coordinated team to take down something massive. Having one guy with massive engines to try to solo it should literally be impossible without teammates to open the way. Add teamwork to the game! Note- rough idea spammed down quickly, not designed to be perfect. Lets brainstorm this. _________________ Co-leader of Lords of Infinity Awesome ships, Awesome base, All breakthroughs.

Thats a cool idea - low levels can pick off defensive turrets while higher levels focus on the core.
Or if we are doing it starwars style, the exact other way around  Heck, (and this is getting complicated) we could even have optional parts. Destroying turrets is not needed to destroy the ship, but drastically lowers the attack against you when attacking the core _________________ Co-leader of Lords of Infinity Awesome ships, Awesome base, All breakthroughs.

+1 for sure makes it a lot easier aswell for the little guys to lock on a npc and get a reward but this should only apply to certain npcs and available to all ranks i guess... but just a suggestion
 pretty bad 1 i know _________________     |

+1 the only thing I would want is the option to hit a second area after you've destroyed one, not to prevent others from getting drops but due to some of the levels required on newer ones could cause a group to be unable to finish due to not having enough of the right rank in the legion. It could require you've already destroyed the other part you've locked onto, and could allow more done by the stronger members with some of the parts like the optional turrets.

add a WIDE ..WIDE VERY WIDE rank range and +1. I dont want to have a bunch of NPC's that I cant kill and my legion cant see. as long as we dont stick it to the upper ranks in lower rank legions i would like this. Im rank all most 1300 in a avrg rank 214. I like it hear some times NPc'ing is a pain when im the only one who can see massive beast on my tab. I would hate that. if we have NPC's that I can have the NRG to kill but not allowed to do it I think it can wreck npc'ing for many upper ranks like my self who have chosen to play with there buds regardless of there rank . As an upper rank, NPC action is all i have left no missions. If DAN does this He would need to keep this in mined.
I would like to see low nrg npc that NEEDS team work. But the day I cant even NPC is the day I LEAVE GL. And I doubt im the only one who feels that way. so At my rank 1300 I would not want to see 10 person NPC who needs rank 600+ ppl to kill , that spawn to the point my purging affect will do little good. make them rare and let rank 300+ hit the ones that I can see and i would be ok with it. Any thing but that and I'm more then confident It will 100% undeniably be the worse add on ever. Unless it spawns as a base like thing and not an NPC??? IDK I like the idea but worry for the above . _________________   RNG makes mistake one time, People blame it for life. Damn sucks to be it. |

well, one other fb game that has implemented this type of NPC with ranges of attack-ability has a new NPC every weekend that EVERYONE in the game can attack. it spawns randomly 3x over the weekend, and then the rest of the week the players go back to their normal routines. that game has 3 'levels' to the npc - for GL, i'd suggest 5 levels.
lvl 1: rank 1-50 lvl 2: rank 51-150 lvl 3: rank 151-300 lvl 4: rank 301-750 lvl 5: rank 751+ until the lower levels are all done, the higher levels do not become attackable. thus, for those higher than rank 750, they can not engage the npc until the lvl 4 section of the npc has been defeated. and so on, down the levels. each week, the npc could have mystery abilities that would need to be sussed out and addressed - something like an atk power, scan power, or the payment of a sort of tourney entry fee (badges, artis, etc.) for the privilege of competing (um, hunger games, anyone ?? lol). racial abilities could also be included as advantages / disadvantages. the rewards would be proportionate to the npc lvl engaged and would be awarded using a formula that combined number of attacks and % of total damage done for that lvl. the player who administers the 'final' hit for each level might also earn their legion base some bonus production for the rest of the week. _________________ Rank 3950 Litheor Governor 100% DCR r385-r2200 GL Marauder #26 _____________  PvP leaderboards: 70212 raids: #1; 40852 kills: #1; 96377 hacks: #3; |

Have rank minimums for each section, and have the lower "ranked" sections take less energy an be weaker.
+1 from me. _________________          |

What if your in a legion, and you're the only person in a particular rank-group.

+1 Sounds like it needs a lot of balancing, but it's an interesting idea.

Also, any planet data optimisers used on it have twice the effect. Anomaly Generator Generates a small, unstable anomaly, which draws in RSL ships to observe. For the next 2 hours, you will ONLY have some new RSL spawns. They will drop RP, be easy to kill, and have a good exp:energy ratio. I'm all for ANY new NPCs - and ANYTHING different. _________________ |
