So far we got 2 Special Operation scenarios - Defiler and Destroyer.
We need at least 1 more scenario, something bigger, badder and even more terrifying and dangerous to play against with.
This scenario should only be available for ranks 13-15. Also, consider all currently available alien weapons as well.
Present your scenario and if possible, include the visual concept of an Alien craft as well.
Special Operation can take place in Alien Space as well. Possibilities are endless. Present you case, be specific about it and that’s it.
Koro! There might be a contest about it in the future! :006j:
I’m thinking more about an old school Raid, like in world of warcraft, but this time you have to enter the alien leviathan and strike the aliens at their core. It could be a multi-phase operation: Open the gate to leviathan (It could be even a mission that you start from open space!), resist to a first alien defense force, enter the actual “moon”, and then start destroy its energy core. It should be full of mazes and puzzles to solve, of course. When I have more time I’ll write a more detailed suggestion.
I guess I will save my tower defence idea,DAMIT!

Nice sketch of an idea! Was thinking about a connection with open space interaction like: some alien gates or probes in open space must be activated prior to get the warp gate online that would warp a party to the alien leviathan location…

I might have to resurrect my old SpecOps thread for this then… haha

Exactly what I was thinking. In my mind, it’s something like that:
You are in one of the location where there’s a portal to leviathan. In order to activate the portal that brings you right near the big alien moon (or ship or creature or whatever), you have to “hack” it by capturing 3 control points. Of course, when one player starts to capture one of the points, lots of aliens start to come out of the portal, trying to stop you. Then, when the portal is opened, you enter it and you find yourself very close to Leviathan. In order to disable its protecting shield, you have to destroy the energy conduit on the surface of the moon, which are easily guarded by aliens and turrets. Then, one of the players has to pick up a bomb and escort it inside the alien structure. The carrier cannot shoot and he his heavily slowed. The other members of the group must clear the way by solving puzzles and challenges that open doors that lead you further inside the planetoid. Upon arriving at the centre, you have to first kill an advanced alien sentry unit, with unique mechanics, and then plant the bomb. As a final challenge, all the players must exit the Leviathan in 1:30 minutes, or they’ll be caught in the explosion. There will be an extra reward if all the players survive the blast. When the mission ends, a cutscene will play: you’ll se an explosion inside the Leviathan, and then it will shut off.

Ah yah, inspiring: like only a mixed squad of ships with special abilities could activate a warp-gate, a small one could get inside and hack, a frigate could secure and deliver energy healing or such, and a fighter or guard could disable fighters or systems for a crucial while.
