So I'm not really one to post stuff in the forums, heck, most of my time here has been spent looking at my profile and figuring out stuff. So this will be the first actual thread I've posted here, ignoring the 7 posts I've made in 2017 (yeah, good times) in the planetary discussion.

Anyway, I was at work and I came up with the idea of two mercenary teams/squads, kinda like a random encounter with Shizuya (if you haven't gotten that yet, don't worry, it'll happen) when you meet her for the first time.

I've been juggling names for the first team, went from Alpha to Inferno to other unimportant names all the way back to Alpha and Inferno. Anyway, this team would be elite, their armor is dented and scarred, probably from prior engagements with others before you, they are highly trained, and they are very well coordinated. So in other words, a tough fight.

The second team is simply Omega Squad/Omega Team. Probably easier than it should have been. Anyway, they aren't as trained as the first, their armor is shiny and unscathed, and they aren't as coordinated, so easy fight, yeah?

Seems pretty basic, yeah? Well, it gets better (maybe). My idea for them is that you can encounter them on any planet, such as Uveto, Mhen'ga, Tarkus, anywhere you can go and fight people that is a planet (stations, one time events, etc do not qualify, and neither does New Texas). At a certain level, you will meet Omega, a four nan squad, and they will fight you and attempt to capture you. If they fail, you escape and might encounter them later on. If they succeed, you'll be taken to their ship and be held captive in the cargo hold. You will have a chance at escape and if you do, you'll fight the members one by one before taking their ship, returning to the planet you were on, and escaping from them.

After enough leveling up, you will encounter Alpha/Inferno Squad, who will be trying to do the same thing to you. If you win, you will escape. If you lose, they will take you to their ship and be held captive within the small cell block on their ship. You'll have a few chances to escape and if you do, you'll fight each member one at a time. If you are successful, you'll fly their ship back to the planet you were previously on and escape.

There is always more details, but I'm keeping it limited for now, I still have more writing to do. That and this is mostly for me right now, I may introduce them more when the document for them is all written up. Anyway, critique is welcome :D

The most holiest of grounds
At least I don't have to ask if you're going to write it. Some people just post their shit and are like "wot, sum1 Elsa aint gon right eet?!!!"

Sounds interesting, hope we can see something more concrete soon.

Thanks! Yeah, at the moment, the project is just for me, as in I'll be sharing it, but I'm not gonna be like "No they have to be in the game, waah!" So it's practice and for fun xD

But yeah, when the doc is more developed, I'll link it so people can take a look and be worried about whether a squad of mercenaries will be hunting them or not :D lol

So yeah, definitely, I'll keep everyone updated :D
