Space flight
I don’t know if this has been talked about but has Bungie ever toyed with the idea of ship missions in destiny? Ever since I got the Rope to Heaven in D1 I always thought it would be cool to fly the ships we can get around in some mission, there are lots of games that do it and even if d2 is primarily a first person shooter I think it’d be an awesome mini game.
It could be something like spectrobes 2 gameplay when you fly your ship into portals to travel to another galaxy (in destiny’s case it would be planet hopping).
We could get a mission like Halo Reach’s long night of solace where we fight enemy spaceships, I mean The Hive, Fallen, and Cabal all have their own types of space ships, we saw Mara Sov and the reef have a wicked space fight at the beginning of taken war.
That also brings up like space patrols too.
Maybe things in the vein of Starfox, or even Kid Icarus.
We have had mini segments dedicated to sparrows in d2 which are delightful (even if at some points difficult), and even d1 had the sparrow racing event which was AWESOME. I think the ships deserve the same love I guess.
That is probably a huge can of worms for Bungie to deal with though and it would definitely take a lot, but it’s nice to dream lol, it would make the ships feel more special I guess.

That would be a pretty large addition to the game. But ever since seeing ships in D1 a lot of people have wanted to fly them in missions. It would definitely be cool to have missions involving ships or some sort of ship horde mode thing if they could pull it off.

It would need to be able to keep players engaged with the travel mechanics. However it would be a case of after a week or two everyone would get board and want a method of skipping it so would be a waste of Bungie's time and effort Do what I did. If you want to get your fix of flying a ship then switch to a game which space fight is the main part of the game.

1 ReplyHaha had a flash back of Kingdom Hearts there. 😂

Warframe tried that, it was -blam!- and a waste of time. Destiny doesn't need more -blam!- and ways to waste time.

1 ReplyThey did it with Halo. But, that was a very different Bungie.

I see it being more like a StarFox style thing like you mentioned

Yes, That would be awesome! Crucible in Space! Flight games are awesome IF done right, but it's hard to get it right.

2 RepliesWarframe did this with railjack. With warframe primarily being a corridor third person shooter, adding in a space flight game mode was almost certainly going to be trash. And it was. Just like elite dangerous which was primarily a space flight simulator, they tried adding in a first person shooter element to the game with odyssey, and sure enough it was garbage. They should not do this.

3 RepliesOhh boy here in offtopic you'll get the cold hard truth. Bungie develops the game like a content island mess and it' such a spaghetti from 3 different studios that actually expanding the engine would be a bit too much work for their standard. The best choice would just making Destiny 3 in house with their rules, compressed textures and all so they could actually expand on their "ever evolving universe" instead of copy-pasting the past and selling same -blam!- different day that they'll take away for "the living story" my -blam!-.

Once again, this belongs in a Destiny forum. Offtopic has nothing to do with Destiny. -
That's Warframe

8 RepliesName a single first person shooter that you remember for a space flying mission. Who actually thinks to themselves the game gets so much work and attention that something like this would be a smart use of resources.

Hated that Halo Reach mission…felt out of place and wasn’t anything special.
