So, with this new patch we can see that theres a ton of people playing GSF right now (albiet forced to), but with only 2 game modes to play on. Kinda sucks.
What If BW could create a new game mode kinda like Star Wars: Battlefront (OG)'s Space battle's assault mode. They already have the assets for Capital Ships with attackable nodes on them from the On-Rails space battle, would it be so hard to make that a thing for GSF?
Each ship has these destroyable nodes, from weakest to strongest HP, with rough point values, i wouldnt know how to balance it lol:
(Ideally bombers would do more damage to these nodes.
Shields: 50 pt
Engines 100 pt
Sensors Array: 125 pt
Communications array 125 pt
Life Support 150 pt
x2 Frigates (destroyable like on-rail ones, no shields)= 150 pts each
Bridge: 250 pt.
Starfighters: 1-2 pt each
Each team has 1000 resources.
First team to destroy the other's flagship OR reinforcements counter wins. Do you defend yours or try to attack theirs? Would be such a fun game mode for GSF, and be pretty friendly for new players who can't dogfight that well... which is 99-100% of the other 2 game modes... Oh well.
