DM mode

A common suggestion is to add player-generated content, but these systems have been buggy in STO and NWO.

Thus, I suggest you can add something that's actively under the control of a human. Something simple would be to have a private instance in a computer generated map, or a copy of an outdoor area. Then have one player be dungeon master who could spawn various enemies for the other players to fight. At its simplest, it could just be a copy of the 'group battle simulation' in the powerhouse without the hologram aesthetic and a few options of locations to fight in.

That would facilitate role-playing.

There's a concern that since this is an MMO, the non-rp type players might set up some sort of G farm. If that's an issue, just make the rewards worse than grinding Smash alerts.

Or just have an area where we show up and Kaiserin spawns things in for fun.

Just set the rewards to zero, that's what the battle station does. However, improving this to the level that it's at all useful is a PITA.

There's an alternate way of doing superheroes vs supervillains: team duels. If you need to balance them, include a ringer on one team or another that's lower level, and everyone on that team SKs down.
