1-prevent queen from calling DS down to hikack until marines are wiped from the ground.
2-remove weed protection maybe.
PO transport could bring reinforcement via paradrop too if they want.
people can evacuate using medevac.
what do you all think ?
Unless marines have a certain amount of forces you cannot call down the dropship.
the FOB mats will be used to reinforce either the frontlines (imagine LV caves entrance 3 layers of cades) or the colony medbay depending on the map.
Marines do an early evac, and due too to many marines xenoes can’t hijack.
+1 just because it can remove hijack gameplay.
LZs are designed to be hold, you don’t have to defend 360 degree circle around. Hard to find viable spot that isn’t under a roof. And that spot would have to give some adventage in exchange for having to rely on rappels and medevac solely.
I meant forces groundside. Same way TGMC do it.
This sounds based, but you’d need better ways to ferry marines to/from a custom zone. It would be harder, yes, but to be viable you’d need to make it fun or easy. Preferrably fun. Maybe the same way TGMC does it, give the marines a smaller dropship that can land in more spots? Coding landing zones that the players can do like with the tadpole sounds like it would be a nightmare.
Maybe we can see the UD4 ops in CM someday…
What you do is that you only use rappels and medevacs. The only problem would be fultoning the crate full of rappels up again.
Even TGMC has a static landing zone.
Now, I can appreciate the idea of making a FOB not have to be put inside the landing zone, it reminds me of the Nostromo where you’d have Marines setup a fob inside the centre of the map or elsewhere.
But for all the dev time that’d be needed to make the idea work, I don’t know if it will ever be viable with our current gameplay mechanics.
Alamo doing fly-by, all doors open and marines jumping out paratroopers style (with 5% you get sucked into engine or flap face first into ground).
+1 we AIR ASSAULT in this bitch.
Let’s do it like Diên Biên Phu and just paradrop marines into FOB, what can go wrong? 
Personally i’d prefer to do it like Operation Market Garden and paradrop half the marine force into Enemy territory.
