Atmosphere Assault is just a waste! The map, Awesome, the enemy, Devastating. You take 5 shuttles against swarms of 10+ shuttles and a walker. Shuttles have 2 weapons systems and few consoles or BOff abilities. Facing the shuttles is Hard!
Wave bonuses are impossible to get and that leads me to the payout. 30min-45min av. for a measly 5 rep marks! Yay! :rolleyes:
I would rather solo the breach (elite) then head in to defend this colony with a fully capable team.
The Fix (as I see it)
Treat this like a Star Base Defense...
Wave 1: Shuttles from 2 sides
Wave 2: Shuttles from 4 sides
Wave 3: Walkers from 2 sides
Wave 4: Walkers from 2 sides Shuttles from 2 Sides
Wave 5: Shuttles from 4 sides beefed up Walker Boss (Accolade for killing all the named Walkers)
Bonus: Allow no damage to the settlement
Or even make the 4 sides and Center have structures that can be destroyed.
Bonus: Structures remaining X / X
Or even Both for extra bonus. And the payout should be 5 Marks per wave at least.
Please make this mission worth the time and effort!
I did Atmosphere Assult and didn't see any point in it. Better idea: don't que for it.
My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.
I love the map, love the premise, and the mission, but it's not fun to play.
Your fighter always gets stuck randomly somewhere, you have to use an exploit and fit idiotic non-shuttle starship grade weapons to get things dead fast enough to win the option, and you almost certainly need a c-store or lobi shuttle to do it, meaning it's practically p2w.
Then, after all that time and frustration, you get like 20 marks.

Atmosphere Assault really needs a revisit.
