Think of a train or truck convoy that has to get from point a - point b with 4 generators that have to be destroyed. One team(blue team) gets to defend and know the path the convoy will take, while the other team (red team) doesn't have any information on the path and has to destroy all generators in order to win the match.

The developer could design 3 paths the convoy could take through each map, making sure that the red team has to figure out with path it is taking after playing the same map a few times.

You could even give the convoy a turret per generator.

I think this would be awesome due to the fact you have to keep moving to defend the convoy and decide how to defend it.

Any takers

I like the idea. But instead of an AI truck, which would probably cause a never ending flood of complaints... justified or not...
Ii would prefer if the slowest mech on the defending team was marked as VIP, and had to be escorted to on or more checkpoints.

In the case of a VIP disconnect, VIP would pass to another mech. Of course based on perfect infailable logic, that no one can disbute.

Now that i think about it, this would be a terrible idea... salty people would end up terrorizing the VIP in real life, if they didn't win. AI Trucks without feelings it is...

I like the idea as well. They would need to set a certain speed for the convoy travel and hope that some meta build cant just pinpoint kill them in one volley. They could use the current maps easily enough just plot various paths through each map. Gives some more ideas considering other Mech Warrior games had similar tasks to be completed.

I hated these mission types for a long time, I would rather blow up the convoy then help it.. that or I would quit the match before it got started.

I refuse to take part in these kinds of missions because if I wanted a baby sitters job I would watch my sister inlaw's bratty kids.
