New Features

Gameplay

Infiltrate and Defend Missions
Implementing a series of new missions at Underground Facilities (UGF) to replace the old ones along with the addition of several new UGF locations. These new missions come in 5 types along with lawful and unlawful variants. (Note: For this evo build we have removed the Reputation requirements to find and accept certain new missions. Once released, some of these will require hitting a reputation level to get)

Eliminate Specific (Lawful / Unlawful): This mission is the most simple in that the player is given the task of going to the UGF to kill a specific target inside. Other enemy AI will spawn at the location but they do not necessarily need to be dealt with.

Eliminate All (Lawful / Unlawful): Here the player must go to the UGF and kill all the targets that spawn, a counter should display at the top center of their screen indicating the remaining targets when they head down the elevator of the UGF.

Eliminate Boss (Lawful / Unlawful): This mission begins the same as the ‘Eliminate All’ mission, the player must clear the beginning AI shown as a counter on the top center of their UI. After they have done this, a boss with increased health will spawn with some guards which the player must kill to complete the mission.

Defend: This mission begins with a one minute timer when the player goes down the elevator of the UGF, where they should observe friendly AI waiting around. Once the timer finishes Wave 1/3 begins an a series of enemy AI spawn. The player should work together with the friendly AI to take out all of this hostile wave. Once this is done another minute timer will begin, to prepare for wave 2. This process repeats and once wave 3 is wiped out the mission is complete. The player should receive bonuses based on the amount of friendly AI that are alive by the end of wave 3.

Collect: This mission requires the player to enter the UGF with the instruction of locating, and extracting 3 boxes based on reference numbers provided via the contracts manager. There are lots of boxes with random numbers within the UGF which the player must sift through until they find the correct boxes. During this process enemy AI will spawn which the player will need to deal with in order too be able to extract the boxes safely. These boxes should be taken back onto planet surface, loaded onto the player ship and delivered back too the drop off point.
