Loving the hot drops from the leopard class Dships

But the game would have an even more classic BT feel if we had union and overlord class Dships either implemented like the Leopard class or just as map assets.

Next time you revamp a map swap out a building for a nice Union class or its cousin the overlord class.

The options are endless

As a base, with capture working the same way by going up the ramp and standing in the mech bay.
They can mount turrets as well which blends nicely with the base idea

would really bring a nice CBT touch to MWO

It'd be also pretty if there werebe dropship assault mode. Just like some missions in mw4 were.

You could have a capture the DS mode too. DS is in centre of the map.
Teams spawn equal distance from it
A small countdown timer like in conquest mode captures the DS and causes its turrets to target the other team.
But if you can get inside and take out those holding it the process reverses

That brings back some very happy memories

MISSION 3: DROPSHIP HUNT

Terrain Type: lunar
Primary Objectives:
+ Destroy All Steiner DropShips
Secondary Objectives:
+ Destroy All Steiner APUs
Lancemates: none
Maximum Number of Lancemates: 0
Independent allies: Hellspawn (Sir Peter), 3 Swiftwinds.
'Mech Configuration: none

Gonzales contacts you to congratulate for the succesful mission, but warns you
that this is only the beginning, and all missions will be that easy. Casey
also reports that people on Kentares IV are starting to revolt: a pirate
broadcast tells that the Steiner forces are not as strong they want to make
believe, and several of their installations on the moon are already destroyed.

This mission is going to be though: you have to take down three powered down
DropShips. They are powered down, but as you uncle Peter says, if they power
up, they will begin to fire. To slow down powering up procedures (and take
off), take out the APUs near each DropShip and ignore gantries.
Begin to travel toward Nav Alpha, where the first DropShip is. You should be
able to score one or two long-range shots from your Large Laser while reaching
the target on the DropShip itself or on the first APU. Each DropShip as 3
APUs: it is higgly recomended to destroy them as their explosion will damage
the DropShip too, then go for the DropShip engines to maximize damage; be sure
to stay away from the DropShips at least 200 meters, or their explosion will
damage you.
The area is heavily defended: two Osiris are patrolling the area, plus some
Vedettes (your uncle will take care of them) and 2 Laser Turrets near each
dropship.
Ignore everything and destroy the first DropShip, then go for the two
Osirises. Ignore the Laser Turrets, they aren't good marksmen, and you can
always step on them to cause some damage.
Now go for the DropShip at Nav Beta: destroy the APUs and then the DropShip,
and repeat for the DropShip at Nav Gamma.
Mission accomplished. Steiner forces won't be able to move large groups of
reinforcements from the moon to Kentares IV or to stage long-range movements
anymore. Uncle Peter says that fighting along you was an honor.

MISSION 4: BASE DEFENSE

Terrain Type: lunar
Primary Objectives:
+ Defend The APUs while the DropShip Powers Up
Secondary Objectives:
+ Destroy All Hostile Units to Clear for Take Off
Lancemates: none
Maximum Number of Lancemates: 0
Independent allies: Shadow Cat (Casey Nolan), Hellspawn (Jen McQuarrie)
'Mech Configuration: none

You command succeded in capturing some Steiner communcations: you now know the
face of your enemies; it also looks like that they do not work well together,
and some Steiner forces are headed toward yourbase; for this reason, Sir Peter
and Gonzales will board the first DropShip and travel to Kentares before
scheduled. You, Casey and Jen will remain to protect the boarding of supplies
on the second DropShip.

Immediately engage the forces on your left: destroy the 2 LRM Carriers and the
Bulldog, then head toward the montains south of your position to destroy a
second Bulldog.
Now help Casey and Jen in destroying the remaining forces; all vehicles should
be gone by now (however, there are some SRM Carriers and Vedettes), but the
enemy 'Mechs are still active: engage whichever you see first: there are an
Hellspawn, an Osiris and a Shadow Cat.
After they are gone, you will be ready to take off.
