Make destroying Omega a bonus, not a win-condition.
Destroying Omega before the clock has run down to the 10-minute-mark would yield a bonus like 100,000 CB, if the attackers also win. If they lose, no bonus either.
- Attackers are free to go for Omega or not. Defenders are free to defend Omega or not (but usually will, out of pure spite).
- Destroying Omega at the last minute, while most defenders are already dead, yields no bonus.
- Sending in a 12-man-rush of jumping Lights is futile: You easily destroy Omega, but you lose lots of Mechs in that process, which means that the Defenders have the upper hand now.

No thanks, could lead to stale gameplay.
As an attacker, if I know that all I need to do is kill 1 mech and retreat, I'm going to send out a couple small ambush parties of high DPS light mechs looking for a chance to pick off one enemy and then I'm done. At least with Omega as a required objective, the attacker is forced to actually attack.
