Sign Up For CTC

Apr 28, 2005 GRAIG link
Do you think its normal to defend a convoy and not being payed for it?
Well i don't i think sometimes we should get some money motivation to defend the CTC cargo...

Well here is my suggestion about that....

Sign up for CTC missions

there should be a selectable mission, in Bractus C5 and Sedina L2, for every one willing to defend their beloved convoy:
[201] itani convoy sheduled to depart from bractus watch to Coranis in five minutes.
[201] All defenders can now join in the defense mission in Bractus C5 station, and will be thanked for their effort with a xxxxxxx credits reward if convoy arrive safe at its destination.

that should be more interesting to defend if you know that you'll be reward ( especially if there isn't any attackers and defending is boring as hell).
please tell me what you think about it...

A major design problem for the mission: you sign up and then go botting or fooling around anywhere; if the transport goes home, you get the cash.

Giving the money only to the players who are at destination when the transport docks does not work too well; you often switch to attack at one point or do other business when you see the transport is safe; or you may die after killing or delaying attackers, which can be a successful way of defending.
------------------------------
Defending is no longer as boring as it used to be because the transport is now attacked in storms [I'm talking as Itani, as it is well known that the Serco transport rarely goes beyond Latos O-12 and never hits a storm anyway].

But as the transport's speed increases, hive bots are no longer a threat, unless the transport finds itself stuck against a large roid.

So defense may become dull again from Wednesday.

If you began a reply to the phrase above between brackets, stop it, it's a damn troll :)

The best way to make that work would be to have a timelimit on how long you can be outside of the system or sector that the transport is in. you have to follow it for a while, or you get booted from the mission.

Good Idea Apex. Maybe a minimum of 5 minutes that you have to stay in the same sector as the transport. If you die defending the transport and don't get the 5 minutes... too bad. It still motivates more ppl to play ctc and I am sure the devs wouldn't make it a large amount of credits so that you feel wronged by it.
