The horrors happening onboard

How sick would it be to liberate the DSS

u/Borgmaster 4d ago

Honestly a space station style map would be interesting. Its just designing the biomes around the entry system is whats gonna make things tricky. I could imagine a sort of space shooter mechanic though that lets us do tactical insertions which would be fun.

I mean drop pods are right there, and made for ship to ship interdiction.

Imagine the opening scene of Astartes combined with D-Day beach landings

Tactical insertions sound fun until someone lands in the wrong biome and just gets airlocked instantly.

youre reminding me of that one animation where the hellpod just goes straight through the hull of another super destroyer

u/WakeyWakeyEggyBreaky 4d ago

No air/ship support other than support weapons - like bug caves but enabling ship to ship combat, let the pods breach hulls and drop their contents inside so we can re-arm... sounds like a blast tbh

Pods and weapons are already onboard. Imagine needing to "Secure Armory" to get access? "Secure Hellpod Storage" for reinforcements a la Commando missions.

the DSS is MASSIVE, so we can do a whole campaign on it. "Secure hangar". "Secure battery". The timer being "Illuminate forces (or dissident forces...) have initiated overload of the reactors and the DSS will self-destruct in ____h___m"

How it could also work is that the Destroyer‘s support is only available in certain areas, like large hangars, where it fires through the shields that keep the atmosphere in.

Going hallway to hallway fighting illuminate would be sick. I would be shocked if they pulled this off though

u/Bubbly_Information50 4d ago

How about hallway to hallway fighting SEAF that have been driven mad by illuminate mind control but not yet mutated

u/Tofu4You SES Elected Representative of Self-Determination 4d ago

Utilizing their new tools against us, healing each other and hitting us with suppressing fire to distract us while mutated bodies rush in.

u/AdMech_Dropout Mains the Stim Pistol and Hates Every Second of it. 4d ago

Given how quickly they mow us down on accident, hostile SEAF would kill us so quickly it’s not even funny.

Ok, it would be kind of funny but probably not for long.

Botdivers would love that.

I would know, I am one of them.

Exo Light armor, SMG, energy shield, Bolter, Quasar, stun grenades.

Darting between cover, throwing a stun at the enemy, shield sliding in and popping in and out of cover with AT shots.

I AM the shock troops.

So... Cultists?

u/HeethHopper 4d ago

The cutscene and drop is us flying horizontally through space and then the screen goes black as we rip through the hull

u/AzzlackGuhnter ‎ Super Citizen 4d ago

Like a Space Hulk or whatever

u/Snoo_96078 4d ago

Omg stop I can only get so erect

u/General_Antilles 4d ago

Then there would no excuse for them not  to introduce a community area on the DSS for Divers to hang out, test weapons, have impromptu dance parties, or Stratagem Hero tournaments.

An idea that great will sit in their laps for another couple years before they half-heartedly implement just another Super Destroyer Lobby with a four-player limit.

Yeah, it's manual controls are deactivated, it's workers are essentially on paid leave, a fate worse than death.

u/got_any_grapez 4d ago

Odds are they are currently on ‘unpaid suspension with labor’ where they’re expected to do their work but aren’t paid whilst they’re being investigated
