Calling out the warband

THe Klingon gameplay experience cn be a very lonely one whilst levelling. You might meet a few people in PvP and such and you might be lucky enough to join a fleet with some people at your level, but in general I have found a lot of grinding mainly solo. Thank the Lord for Ventrillo to keep me sane in these times. The new mission to blow up the Fed shipyards combined with another suggestion in another thread gave me an idea. Could something be implemented that raised the warcry and called all players from a certain level to join an group action. Bear in mind the openm instace Fed patrols throw people into instances regularly whilst levelling so you never feel entirely alone - even if you don't actually speak to the other guy.
Raid the planet:
So essentially by one mechanism or another a mission is flagged. It may be a semi-random world event or a player driven option you get from talking to someone.
At this point everyone in hte level bracket gets a clicky 'Join raid on planet Spudmonkey/starbase jammy dodger/moonbase cheesesniffer/whatever'. This clicky is like we get in exploration zones when in a team to go and join that action.
That clicky remains open for a fixed period of time - say 30 mins. New instances are spawned if more than 5 ppl join the instance just like the deepspace encounters.
Ideally this would include a space and a ground option but could use existing map tilesets.
Examples might include:
Raid on starbase
Raid on moon
Raid on planet
Defeat enemy fleet
Rescue straned IKS vessel
Capture flagship
Lift the seige
Escort te civillians escape from Borg/Undine/giat hairy space monsters of doom
Follow ups on the ground:
Steal the tech
Capture the dude
Ninja the loot
Repair the starship
Capture the bridge
Act as Forward obseerver for orbital artillery
Use the fleet action reward system if you want, or make it a misison like a patrol with a fixed reward for completion, I doubt anyone overly cares. What it does provide is a greater binding of the cumminity, more options for Kligon gameplay without massive new elements of code. Lastly and very importantly, it give you some time to finish what you are doing and THEN join in. THis might sound trivial but if you are stuck grinding the Azure Nebula having to kill 14 groups solo you really dont wanna drop out of that zone when you PvP queue has finally popped up.
Thans to anyone who read this far.
