Alright, first I would like to address Valkyrie's role in EvE. As far as I am aware, EvE Valkyrie has a 'Campaign' of sorts, and also has 'Arena' gameplay.
This has been brought up by dozens of people, but here is my 2 cents: I think Valkyrie Players should be able to launch from onboard Carriers. They will basically take the role of Fighters and Fighter Bombers so that instead of EvE Players buying Fighters and putting them in their Drone Hangar, they send out Contracts for Pilots. These pilots could use their NeoComs or 'Datapads' to search for contracts. If a Valkyrie Pilot accepts a contract, they wait at the station they are currently present at until their employer comes and picks them up, or they accept a new contract. They would then be able to roam the ship's interior until a combat scenario.
The EvE Online Player could access his 'Fighter Hangar' and he could overview the Fighters or Fighter Bombers in his hangar and he could right-click on them and select an option which says 'Deploy Fighter'. The Fighter's Pilot would then rush to the Hangar and get inside his Fighter before launching from within the ship (please make the launch look epic, and realistic!). The EvE Player could then order the Fighter to attack a specific target or do some recon, or even repair the ship if logistics ships are available.
It would also be neat if Dust 541, EvE Valkyrie, EvE Online, and EvE Legion all had a WiS feature, and could interact if they were in the same station.
It would be even cooler if Dust 541 or EvE Legion Players could be transported onboard any ship with enough cargo capacity to carry them. The ship could also be able to transport Vehicles and Dropships as well as spare equipment for the DUST/Legion Players, which would take up cargo capacity. A new ship class could be added to EvE called a 'Personnel Transport', maybe as an advanced Industrial? DUST 541 or EvE Legion Players would require ship-transport in order to be transported onto Stations. This could be a cool addition to WiS, as the players onboard the Station could be succeptible to attack. Conquerable Control Towers would be cool to.
Maybe Valkyrie Pilots could pilot specialized Dropships for carrying DUST 541/Legion Players around in space?
There could be several new contract types for 'Personnel Transportation' or 'Pilot Contracts' (the latter would be EvE Online players asking for Valkyrie Pilots or vice-versa) |
