EEK Mission Specifications for SFC2:OP and SFC2:EAW Developed by el-Karnak |
|
INTRODUCTION
The missions of EEK (Evil, Evil Karnak) are designed to enforce some naval
doctrine of meritocracy in the dynaverse realms of SFC:OP
and SFC:EAW. In order to compete in a big engagement like a fleet action
you have to earn your way by either improving your combat skills and/or improving
your teamwork skills through co-op play. If you are a newbie you will find
the grunt work missions like Convoy Escort duty easy and patrols harder. If
you are a veteran that likes to fly solo then you will compete well in the
patrols and do OK in the 3v3 missions. When you are an expert player you can
handle the glory assignments such as Squadron and Fleet Actions.

TOTAL WAR VARIANTS
For dynaverse campaigns that have all races enemies with each other thereby
no causing any race to have no possible allies (ie. total war variants), the
following missions have the appropriate variant versions (designated with
"_tw" suffix tags):
- Joint Ops. Patrol
- Combined Arms Patrol
- Counter-Punch Patrol
- Squadron Action
- Fleet Action
STRIPPING AWAY THE AI in-MISSION
Most of the missions strip away the AI for PvP play.
For example, an Ambush Action including 2 allied and an enemy player will
have all the AI were stripped away to leave a 2v1 player battle. Patrol missions
with two opposing Human players will strip the AI down to a straight 1v1.
Even the Fleet and Squadron Actions will strip down the AI so 6 players evenly
split on sides would get a straight 3v3 match.
In the event of a PvP mission where there are exactly the same number of Human players and ships on each side, the winner of this PvP mission will receive double the normal mission PP Payout for forcing the enemy to leave and triple the normal mission PP payout for destroying/capturing the enemy. The player that was forced to disengaged will receive a Devastating Defeat mission result. For any PvP mission where a Human player is outnumbered by enemy Human players, irregardless of the number of ships involved, and the out-numbered Human player wins the missions, quadruple the normal mission PP payout will be awarded.
MISSION DIFFICULTY MODIFIERS
When SFC:OP missions are played in the Early Era (Y163 to Y172), the mission difficulty will be reduced.
When a player flies a ship of the following classes, as defined by the CLASS TYPE value in the shiplist.txt file:
- HEAVY_BATTLECRUISER (in-Dyna class: Hvy Battle Cruiser)
- DREADNOUGHT (in-Dyna class: Dreadnought)
- BATTLESHIP (in-Dyna class: Battleship)
An extra enemy AI ship is generated in the following missions:
- Milk Run Patrol
- Courier Duty Patrol
- Deep Space Patrol
- Homeland Defence Patrol
- Enemy Sweep Patrol
- Joint Ops. Patrol
