I know a lot of this is going to sound far fetched, but hear me out. [b]Factions in Patrols:[/b] Factions are always recruiting, but for what exactly? None of us actually seen Factions do anything except sit there in the Tower. Adding Faction NPCs to the dull, and boring Patrols would create immersion and opportunities for new events and missions. These new ally NPCs would be exactly like Fallen or Cabal, they would have a rank representing their strength in battle, armor distinguishing that rank, weapons appropriate for that rank, and colors representing their loyalties ([i]example: FWC, Dead Orbit, New Monarch, Vanguard, etc.[/i]). They will have scripted routines that they'll do such as, exploring, sneaking, analyzing objects, talking, fighting with enemies, guarding areas, etc. You know how Fallen, Hive, and Cabal have their own dropships? Well so do these gents, in fact there is a perfect Dropship that never really got to much attention except maybe the Tower. You know those VTOL things that drop off cargo in front of the Tower and leave? I'm sure all of us have tried jumping on them at some point of playing Destiny, then clipping right through them and falling to our demise. Well those dropships ([i]aka "the Hawk" http://www.destinypedia.com/City_dropship[/i]) are used as a troop carrier to deploy Guardians, but they got scrapped by Bungie in the final release. These awesome looking VTOLs could still have a purpose, as a troop carrier for ally NPCs. They even have a chaingun underneath in some concept arts, which is perfect. [b]New Event Ideas:[/b] [b]Firefight Event[/b]-Clear out enemies before ally morale drops to 0%. [b]Escort Event[/b]-Keep allies safe until they reach their destination. [b]Distress Call Event[/b]-Reach allies before the timer reaches 0:00, once you reach them hold out until dropship arrives. [b]Relic Extraction Event[/b]-Defend the golden age relic until dropship arrives to transmat it. [b]Tug of War Event (Large Scale Event)[/b]- Help allies retake a location from enemies ([i]ex. Skywatch, Divide, etc.[/i]). If event completed, allies will hold that location for a limited time. Once time runs out, enemies with attempt to retake the location. If allies fail, the event timer will restart.
