My basic point is to change the type of capships, that spawn for the Central Hive Skirmish and the behavior of the queens..

Basically it stands now at:

1 trident is spawned at the start of the mission and after it dies and so forth.

All of the other ships are keeping the Assault and Guardian bots busy.

The Hive queens do not attack smaller ships, only the 1 trident.

The leviathan also attacks the trident when it is in range..

-------------------------------------------

My proposed change to this system is to spawn a Trident and a Teradon, with the same system of respawning each when they die..

I would also like to change the queen TYPE. I am fine with how the shields work.
My proposed change for this area is to spawn TWO queens that only attack big ships, and ONE queen that attacks all ships. (or to the ratio of queens that attack big ships only:queens that attack all ships is 2:1)

In addition to this change, i would like to reduce the amount of Faction ships (the little vultures and centurions) to about 2/3ds the amount that they currently are.

The way that the leviathan works is fine with me.

-------------------------------------------

My reasoning behind this change is that when a single or even two players take this mission, the trident dies within minutes, with no damage to any of the queens.
I have tried and tried this mission, with a friend on some occasions, and have not been able to stop the queens from killing the trident within a minute. (the shields go in seconds)

Last time I checked, this is an assault on the Levi, not a "go to this sector and watch your trident get obliterated in seconds" scenario.
I wanted to change the amount of capships to TWO, because then the hive queens and levi won't kill it so quickly. A trident for the simple fact of it being a support ship, and a Teradon for the assault on the queens and, with a little player help, the Leviathan.

My reason behind the Faction ships reduction is because of the addition of the Teradon, and the help of Players. The teradon, in theory, should be able to fend off most of the hive ships that it encounters. The significance of the Players, is possibly the tide-turner. The player(s) can distract the Smaller Hive ships, while the trident and teradon take down the Leviathans shields down.
-
For the record, the teradon, would be too busy killing off the smaller ships, and hive queens, so player intervention is crucial, because otherwise the Faction ships wouldn't be able to kill it by themselves.
-
The player(s) can then focus on destroying the Leviathan as a primary objective, either by docking with the trident and manning a turret, or using your own ship to attack the Levi.

------------------------------------

I apologize for the long suggestion, but in the long run, this is worth it.
I, at the present time, can not see any possible repercussions of this suggestion.

Feedback is Greatly Appreciated, and Welcomed.

get a bigger group and kill the queens then another trident will be there soon anyways.

The point of the central is for a large group if you start putting a teradon and a trident in there then you could probably solo it....

If all the other HS missions are removed the levi queens fall easy and then 3-4 skilled pilots can take out the levi.

But the problem is: what if you don't have access to a bigger group?

You do a couple of Smaller HS, Commons, and larges, maybe criticals and then move on to the Central.

You're not soloing the Leviathan anyway, you have a group and a mission to help you.
That's the importance of the mission.

no the mission is for groups... if u dont have a group get more vo friends! The levi isnt supposed to be a walk in the park
