EDIT: This thread, originally the slipspace anomaly thread, is now this, as a list of ideas for random events

 

Previousally in the old version of the thread: 

 

Soooo i was thinking around on what Uni said in the live stream a while back, and how he said that custom random events would happen just for the mod. So in light of that, i came up with this as a idea of matching the haloverse, as lets face it, how many UNSC worlds have been hit with a gamma ray burst? none. 

 

So here it is ,Slipspace anomaly disables all weapons and enables faster slipace travel to and from the system, lasting for a few minutes, but it would be a game changer if it entered a contested system. And i also thought it would disable hull repair and shield restore, as crews could not operate to repair and the reactor of the ship would be unable to recharge (or some other reason).

 

But alot has happened since then, so custom events may already be out the window. but i figured id put this out there

..... Not to be rude but that tells us absolutely nothing... just a title... you gave us no description or anything...

sorry it was a glitch, i accidently posted before i was done, its complete now, sorry for the confusion

We definitely want custom events, so keep the ideas coming. They may not all show up, but they're certainly inspiring ideas that will show up.

Ok, then i will convert this thread into something more, appropirate

Another random event: replaces the "mad vasri titan"

 

Sends a uncontrolled, centurion loose upon the galaxy, and is of course, a random event.

I'd like to see a random event where a ship of your faction from the lore will randomly jump in to aid you (Spirit of Fire for the UNSC/PiousInquisitor for the Covenant) The ships would be beefier capital ship versions of their normal counterparts. Their stats wouldn't be insane, but they would be nice enough that if you don't have a supercarrier or assault carrier already these would become your flagship.

ha, so santa exists in this mod too? would be nice to see, very halo like to have the hero ship slip in at the last moment to save the day, perhaps have the Didact's soccer ball for the forerunners.

There should be two of these, I think for the UNSC it should be SoF or Cole's innie fleet and the everest, Cov should be A fleet of some sort or Pious inquisitor..

Heretics and Inni's: UNSC and Covenant should suffer random uprisings like in the books/games.

 

Shield World: A player held world could randomly turn out to be a shield world (maybe after exploration?) and switch to neutral start spawning Sentinels but has super awesome relics if recaptured. (like immune to flood capture/or halo ring wave of death?)

 

Flood Spore Detected: a single flood ship appears o.o

 

Reclaimer!: a monitor appears giving UNSC 2-3 centerions/or attacks Covenant Players

 

Sangheili Alliance: a few Elite voiced Covenant cruisers join the UNSC

 

Immunity: a few ships spawn near a flood world that are immune to flood capture under a players control. 

 

Huragok Inovations: A covenant Capital ship receives faster shield respawn rate and regenerate nearby allied shields or hull damage. 

[SPECTRE]

Not reclaimer, i would just quit.

[Cole Protocol]

Reclaimer: LOL NOPE

 

But i like the immunity idea, gives a good heroic feel, id like to see that.

[I Am Sancho]

Not reclaimer, i would just quit.

Or a smaller Forerunner ship.

Most of these are great but I don't think you can get faction/race-specific random events. Things like the flood one would work but 'Heretics and Innies' or 'Sangheili Alliance' wouldn't. That said, I'm not 100% and some, like the Huragok Innovations, could be 'neutralised' (work for both players) if fiddled with. Shield world sounds like a good call as well, there's a similar one already in that sounds like it could easily fit.

Something i thought of: similar to the mobile magnetic storm, it would be, im not sure, maybe magnetic field disruption, but it disables all ships in the gravity well from bombing, but that might not be possible, so maybe it sets bombing damage to zero or something of the sort
