Scout / Reconnaissance Missions
-
(Game mechanic suggestion)
In every war scenario inteligence is key as soldiers cannot rush blindly to their objectives, speaking of wich, what would be such objectives?introducing the Recon / Scout roles and mission!
The goal of Scout & Recon units would be identifying and or marking valuable enemy assests such as strong or skilled players, number of enemy forces in the combat area, mine fields (if implemented) and mark them so their comrades can deal with with ease.
Every gear that takes the Recon role would be unarmed then equipped with cameras and sensors and gain certain extra survability to compensate for.
·Fighters: Increased speed and evasion
·Bombers: they will fly higher (if possible) gain evasion or defence % according to the user's build (ship's higher non-attack attribute)
·Supports: wouldnt be able to use teleport nor debuff skills, yet their healing cooldown gets decreased and its defence gains strenght.
·Tanks: when not moving for 15 seconds (ammount of time could be adjusted according to several factors) they become stealth "their crew uses whatever the terrain offers to cover it up as camouflage" when in motion they gain a little bit of speed and some extra defence.Cameras and sensors would be used actively by the player as an inteligence weapon:
·Providing constant images of thebattlefield to the high command grants exp and other rewards for the player
·Marked valuable targets are destroyed by your faction team-mates, guild grants exp and other rewards (killmarks or such)
·Marked skilled Players destroyed by your allies grants juicy things.I know this hypothetical game style may not be for every one, but hey! here we are trying to innovate!

This is an intriguing suggestion for a game mechanic, especially for players who enjoy strategic gameplay and teamwork. Introducing Recon/Scout roles adds depth and realism to the gameplay by emphasizing the importance of intelligence gathering in warfare scenarios.
Having specialized roles like Fighters, Bombers, Supports, and Tanks with unique abilities and limitations adds diversity to the gameplay, encouraging players to strategize and collaborate effectively. The idea of rewarding players for actively using cameras and sensors to gather intelligence and mark valuable targets adds an immersive layer to the gameplay experience.
Overall, this mechanic has the potential to enhance teamwork and strategic thinking, making each match more dynamic and engaging for players who appreciate tactical challenges. It's definitely a refreshing take on traditional combat mechanics and could appeal to those looking for a more immersive and strategic gaming experience.
