Well, with 10 person teams, good loot, and reasons to do this alert, Skycarrier Defense is actually quite a fun alert.
Good show!

My super cool CC build and how to use it.
And XP......for those who need it....
And costume pieces have way too big of a chance to drop. Compared to Fire/Ice drops.

Also...my eyes. I'm so blinded from seeing Gravity Pulses over and over and over and over and over again.

And I am getting R3 and R4 mods mostly, with one box of R1 mods.

I did find that my Gadgets based healer had an easier time of it. Mostly because the Healing Drones seemed to do an excellent job of auto-healing the engines. It's also nice that Protection Field and Bionic Shielding seem to work on the engines.
I had so much fun on this Rampage, that I actually got myself a vehicle from the exchange. And this is from a person who swore he would never have anything to do with vehicles. :biggrin:
The drop rate is crazy if you manage to keep all of the Engines intact. However, considering that's a challenge - I don't have a problem with it.
But the mission is pretty fun now, the only part which is annoying is when you kill the destroid then you just get a single master villain keep on respawning for 2 minutes. So boring. :<

Glad to see it get some love. I always liked it, despite the Vehicle mod I rewards.

I prefer to use my characters, rather than vehicles.

I think the problem was not the lack of vehicles or uber rewards, I think it was because before most people would end up clumping one or two spots, and the end result was large sections of the ship would go unprotected.

Fix'd that for you... while making a sad face

While this is partially true, environments with combat in all 360 degrees is especially bad.
You could just agree u3u

I never felt that, but I guess that's also because I rubberneck my camera a lot.

Dont remind me of Lemuria please. I almost got PTSD from that hell.
GREAT SCOTT! That car must have knocked me into Multifari where crap things are fun.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
Certainly it's a factor, but most of the feedback I remember were:
1. The rewards suck.
2. "Is all the content in this game going to be for vehicles from now on? You can't make me like vehicles, no sir, not going to do it! I'm a horse and I ain't drinking from that water!"
I also suspect making it a Rampage did it a world of good. A lot more people are completing it now, and when people learn to spread out and protect the engines, it'll be even easier. And the widow uberweapon helps.
Now it's resources and rank 3-4 mods PLUS questionite from being a Rampage. Plus chance at costume parts. Plus chance for token toward Justice gear.
Hell, the questionite alone makes it worthwhile.

Maybe it was the Tardis??
And most fun part of Sky Carrier is the last part, where dozen Black Talons making suicide runs, one by one.

Now there's a vehicle that would sell like hotcakes.
Nah. Tumer isn't around to do the Hideout inside anymore. ;(
Ours would be much more mundane.
"It's just as big as you'd think on the inside." :P
There is some weapon control panels on deck. But, don't know if those work at all.
Adding some enemy 'ground forces' also and not the floating ones, would be nice, for everyone who likes to fight melee/ground level and not fly around spamming GravityThingLOL...

You need more sedative u3u
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
You don't "have" to keep them all up, but you get WAY more drops if you do keep them up. Every engine you keep up is a chance to get a token
Activate all three, and keep them healed, and they do some significant damage.

For two healers, one healer sucks exhaust fumes underneath the carrier while roaming up and down the line of engines, healing any that need it, while the other babysits the vent. For a single healer, they suck exhaust unless one of their teammates calls out that the vent's losing HP, at which point they pop back up to heal it with Palliate and then go back down for more tasty exhaust fumes while making sure nothing sneaks in to kill the engines.
Glorious? No. Exciting? Not with a good team. Effective? You better believe it. I had to have most of a team in Skype with me to swing it, but managed to solo heal it back when it was first introduced, and let me tell you, that was not fun, especially since grav pulse vehicles hadn't been added yet.
I'm sure glad I dropped the "negative about everything" act I used to have... cause I'd sure be looking silly now trying to keep that up.

People that freaked out about fire and ice while it was still on PTS and how the "spirit of champs" would disappear with the introduction of a rampage that involved partially the "yee-gods" "oh noes" dreaded trinity system. But then again I'm just paraphrasing
@Remok
Memory of a goldfish.
You don't remember? I don't remember the name, but there was someone claiming these would turn the game into some sort of elitist trinity thing where people would quit in droves because stuff being too hard isn't fun... do you maybe remember the name of that person?

While we're waxing nostalgic, do you remember how the dodge changes were going to completely ruin the game and everyone was going to quit because it was too hard?

I'm not twisting anything. You just confirmed what I said in the very same post where you claim I'm twisting your words.
Since now you seem to be moving more and more towards just outright refusing to acknowledge information that doesn't support your crusade, to the point that you'll imagine that things are worse than they are, I'm just going to make a fun reference that Skyrim players should find amusing:
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
And regards to the trinity, there's nothing forced at all as far as it in the game. People who want to heal in Champs now have a chance to be extremely useful in a team setting. People who have builds that make themselves hard to knock over have a shot to really test their muster against Frosty and Blaze. And for the rest of us who are in the extremely varied DPS category (you can dress it up and call it hybrid, but it's still DPS) are able to try out different combinations in a team setting and work together and not have the occasional god complex of being able to survive everything in the game.

Just for the record I didn't make fun of you, I just giggled at the picture (being a Skyrim player myself), so let's not be jumping to incorrect conclusions.
And I DO get it, trinity is in every MMO for a reason, Champions allows for more fluidity between the three with the freeforms. No one is forced to play something that they don't. If you don't want to be the person healing or keeping others buffed or alive, then no one said you HAVE to be that build. If you don't want to be the guy that can keep bad guy's attentions, then don't make that kind of build. If you prefer ranged attacks over melee or vice versa, then make your build that way.
The best part about the fluidity of the roles and builds is that you have the CHOICE to play the type of build you'd like, and then you can team up with others to balance to succeed where you may have failed otherwise.

How about instead of stomping your feet and repeating the message of "no no you're wrong, that's wrong, it's all wrong" like a broken record, you give us an example of another method of non-trinity MMO encounter balancing that's longer than "Balance everything for hybrids!". That would be a hell of a lot more constructive than telling everyone they're wrong and you're right all the time.
