New PvP Idea! (Interesting concept)

[NomTrain]

Intro: As to making the this topic about a PvP concept idea, here I explain what I think would be a great idea. Remember this is an idea that I personally think should be included in SWTOR.

Without further ado, I came up with an idea that generally speaking should revolve around guild flagships, we should be able to fight against other guilds such as an ops group and battle guilds in a 1v1 space scenario, similar to battlefront 2's space battle mode, GSF ships would be available in a new hanger area of the guildship that would require encryptions to buy in the guild ship accessing this room will allow for a hanger bay that players would pay to place their ships inside the hanger and will make this eligible for the players to engage in the PvP scenario. Of course there would obviously be barriers such as in GSF but both player teams would allow each other to board each others flagships and engage in battles there. I've been stuck on an objective type as if this should be a deathmatch objective mode or the classic battlefront destroy each others ships mode by infiltrating and planting a bomb, such as in voidstar, on the opponents ship engine. Seems like a risky move but I feel that this is a great idea and that it would allow guilds to face off each other in battles to prove who is essentially the best guild on a given server. Que times and invites would also be given to instead of a guildship invite, there would be a tab that would be a guild battle where you could invite a guild by the name and once they accept it the 8v8 or 16v16 fight would begin, moreover as inviting one to their stronghold or guildship it would invite to a battle. Or instead of a guildship battle it would be a regular que'd warzone that would be pub vs imp or imp vs imp etc, but still the same concept.

 

Let me know what you think below

No one in their right mind is going to read all that unless you actually make some paragraphs. But onto the idea itself. It's decent but I feel there would be too many hurdles to overcome.

 

Like for example, if someone has a decked out GSF fighter that one shots people, how is it fair. Also I feel there should be an opt out feature as some want their guild ships for PVE or RP.

 

You're definitely got a nice concept, but I highly doubt it will happen.

This would cost Bioware money and they can't really give Guild advantages using Cartel Market purchases. So, where would EA make their dosh?

Something of this sort would definately be interesting! Good idea but could we even get Bio to think about it ?!

I admit that when I first found out about flagships/conquest, it sounded to me like there was going to be more of the guild vs guild stuff you've described.

 

I also agree it might be difficult to implement (and on the importance of paragraphing!)

 

Maybe if you are next behind a particular guild on the CQ leaderboard there should be the option to raid their FS. They can buy/install NPC fighters (perhaps scaled to their CQ score?) and/or help defend themselves.
