Indoor Mission Objective Variants

[JDirtyMoney]

Hi all,

I was thinking about the indoor missions while watching Mars Attacks and thought why not have a "save the president" indoor mission? Protecting a high value target may encorage the player to take more risks to reach the target in time. Loss of the president could lead to much loss in income from said reigion.

Other indoor missions could be Prevent reactor explosion, Capture alien VIP etc. No idea how difficult this would be to do, but i would like the variation to encorage new tactics and loadouts for the team.

There's a similar discussion here: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/1940-Mission-Types-and-Secondary-Objectives

There was no answer from the Devs so I guess it would either be too difficult to implement and / or too far from their vision for the game.

I still like the classic mode where you just clear out all aliens and try to protect civies, that way you do just that and whatever happens, happens. This is a game where anything can happen, like the opportunity to capture a live alien or some explosions will occur in obvious places as you said, that can happen. Protecting an VIP would be neat though lol!

I do like the idea since if you fail that, its not like youre forced to restart, you must deal with the consequences and so itll be a big minus in your mission score and hopefully you did enough good to cover it up.

I do love surprises in my unscripted games!! Like base defense in XCOM, I remember when it hit me, lol. I jumped!

That kind of objective is great!

Also protecting certain scientists or a research facility of elevated strategic value for the Xenonauts' effort !
