cobalt hinge
Infiltrate the Sarcophagus megastructure and fight your way to the top. High intensity raid mission designed for organized parties of 4-6 players. Contains difficult mechanics that require a high degree of coordination.
this mission took me like, 25-30 hours to finish based on my steam hours? definitely felt like it 😭
this mission, so far, is likely my greatest mission. drop any feedback you have here

this is incredibly interesting and I was wondering when we would start seeing things like this pop up!
can you say anything about what sorts of mechanics might be involved or would it all be spoilers?
cobalt hinge
I'm still unsure how much i want to give away because figuring out mechanics on day one raids is always fun
But as a general concept for the mission, 1 or 2 players will be inside the sarcophagus interacting with objects and fighting enemies
The facility will self destruct normally so little machines are deployed around the outside to suppress the automatic self destruct trigger
players on the outside will have to defend the machines from incoming enemy forces while a smaller group works on the inside
and the group inside will have to relay information to the group outside so they know where to strike
so both groups need to be actively communicating for basically the entire mission to ensure the facility doesnt blow up

I know raid bosses like this! what a cool concept to apply to nuclear option!
it looks like a lot of fun to fly around the inside of the structure
cobalt hinge
its not quite big enough to fly faster stuff around inside unless its something super maneuverable like a revoker
you can definitely do it but its incredibly hard to actually do the mechanics without an aircraft that can hover
velvet cloak
oh yeah, I'm thinking I'd want to do it in my chicane!
makes the most sense
vortex could work for some people though
cobalt hinge
you have fairly low money so you mostly only get what comes in the faction reserves
but you start rank 6
velvet cloak
yeah, the reserves would be a pretty obvious balancing lever
then the team can just pick their comp
do you intend for it to require people to be on voice or does the pacing of things allow for text coms, you think?

you can probably manage text comms if you're a fast typer
reserves are pretty generous for cheap stuff but i have it lowered enough to discourage suicides
velvet cloak
like normal NO then I suppose
hard for me to commit to testing but I support it with all my might
cobalt hinge
theres no way to detect if a player dies at the moment so best i can do for anti-suicide is give limited reserves on nice stuff
cobalt hinge
hard for me to commit to testing but I support it with all my might
tbh as far as i can tell it probably works, i just want to see a group run it all the way through to make sure theres not any random jank that i missed
cobalt hinge
if we can get like, four people in here that want to do the first playtest, that'll be enough
its generally balanced around 6 but you can technically do it with 4

are you supposed to fly around inside a building?
cobalt hinge
part of the mission takes place inside a very large building yes

whenever you do a test i would be up to join

Incredible idea. Id love a flight sim set in an Armored Core ish setting where megastructures are everywhere and create "terrain" above your head even at cruising speed

Im considering doing an even larger megastructure map
this one just took a long time because i had to program a really large amount of objectives
the sarcophagus is only around 1km x 1km and 5km tall
feels very large if you fly a heli in it
a little too small for anything faster than a cricket though
atomic jewel
If you make any megastructure maps, I'll definitely play it.

im 90% sure this is just an armored core mission
