It occurred to me whilst reading the puff piece on the marauder that what would be fun is if you could buy a story pack and play along side with the hero.

So I would see it working like this:

You buy a story pack (1 maybe more PvE missions).
Each mission you pick one of the none hero mechs and play along with the story.
Earn some c-bills (with a weekly cap) with a cockpit item on first completion.

If you have also bought the hero mech you can play it in the PvE mission (taking the place of the hero) and gain c-bill boost and perhaps another fluff cockpit item.

This would be a source of income in selling the missions and the missions would encourage people to buy the hero mech.

It would add immersion to the game and provide a much needed story aspect.

Only one MAJOR problem... the fact you wanna sell PVE missions for $$$...

That instantly turns a free 2 play game to a pay 2 play game.. and that's something that would turn away most players..

Myself included.

BUT, if you make it so that a PVE campaign can be bought for 5000 MC or 20 milion cbills.. then you're on to something..

As writen in several other places you can have story missions - its up to you.
Ok your story needs somebody that know the big picture and watches as spectator.

You have the lobby - only problem is that you don't earn C-Bills and maybe even spend some. (really wish there would be somehow a possibility to grant a small ammount of C-Bills to those players.
Because events like the current always drain the number of players that want to battle in the lobby.

Considering story: i have now two scenarios finished
The last was really simple to create - just one basic idea, (not my own - this credit have to be WhiteHunter from the PHL) but his idea mixed with some "story" from a novel (HEIR TO THE DRAGON)- and voila you have a thrilling mission.
And with only one small change the mission is complete different.

The second mission is more complex - and is really challenging for the GM (maybe you need 2)
A third is in making (3051 Tamar City) as is a mini campaign with 4 non linear missions.

If you have 24 guys with you i may provide it for anybody who is interested (maybe it can work for fewer peoples)
(ok have to translate is or you can read German :-))

just PM me - would be nice to know your unit too.
