GSF daily planetary heroics and weekly operations

The idea is to use existing planetary and operation maps (excluding 4 starting and 2 capital worlds) for GSF daily missions. Depending on the class, they can be low level strafing runs, precise bombings with limited number of bombs (meaning you could fail the daily and have to wait 24 hours in order to try it again), fast reconnaissance of flak infested territory or typical dogfight.

 

Heroic GSF dailies would consist of as many players as instance can handle (let's say 5 - bomber, gunship, 2 fighters and scout) with a specific set of primary and secondary objectives, with or without opposing team. PVE missions would mean ships are not flagged (not enough players of opposite side at that moment for pvp version).

 

GSF conquest missions would include both GSF and planetary teams. Let's say the mission is to conquer enemy base. GSF team would disable the base main AA guns, than the ground team can infiltrate the base, wreak havoc and leave while the GSF team is covering them.

 

Heroic 2 conquest mission would involve one GSF and one ground crew. The mission could be stealth infiltration into enemy base, planting a virus, stealing information or materials.

 

GSF operations would consist of raids on war infested worlds (Korriban and Tython during the Forged Alliances story arc, Balmora, Denova, Alderaan) with 5 operation bosses (battleships, heavy cruisers in orbits or atmospheres, heavily guarder planetary installations etc...). Capital ships could be downed only after their defenses are destroyed in specific order (shields, ion cannons etc...) with several waves of defense crafts during the fight.

Ideas like this have been floated since launch. I definitely think it would be awesome if they truly integrated GSF with the PVE elements of the game, but I'm almost positive that at this point, with the resources they seem to have devoted to GSF, nothing like this is going to happen, unfortunately.

 

I mean, how many times in this game do we have story content where you have to infiltrate a cruiser or station and do something? Imagine something like an operation made out of the battle of the Star Forge in KotOR, where the first part of it was to GSF-style clear a path for an invasion team, then the invasion team goes in and takes out Malak and all the Star Forge droids. Sadly, pretty sure anything like this will have to be built in another game in the future, or remain in fantasy-land.
