New Missions

[Taneru]

A Convoy raid mission wouldn't actually be that hard to do if you made it a sub-type of a base-kill mission.

Stationary transports in place of the weapons platforms, and maybe larger ones replacing the stations.

There are different weapons platforms for each of the vary levels of mission difficulty, so using those to determine the type of transports encountered would help. Lower level ones would be spawning the normal transports and large transports, while the higher level ones would give you trains and such.

Mind you, the ships wouldn't move, as they'd be spawned as stations rather than actual ships, but they'd shoot back.


On a similar note, placing battleships instead of stations for the higher level base-kills might be a bit of a challenge.

EDIT: It might be possible to copy the BaseKill mission type and simply alter the infocard stuff for the copy so that it seems like a seperate convoykill mission type. That way, you could set it up so that base-transports only are created for the new convoykill mission type, while the original base-kill missions remain as they are.

This would allow you to write fitting descriptors for the mission that make sense. I'll have to look into that.
