Heres an idea to create some feeling of variation in a largely stagnating game mode: Faction Sponsoring in the current strikes. The idea is that each faction can have its own 'sponsored' variant of a strike, and would essentially vary the way it plays out. The current strikes would be Vangaurd sponsored. For example (just an example in my awkward mind!), a New Monarchy Sponsored strike would increase the number of enemies with overshields, but also give some higher rank enemies the ability to Ground Stomp, and also give the enemy mortar-type troops (new types of troops) who deal large area damage. The boss battles would be the current bosses with super shields on top of 'em and ground stomps that are essentially fists of havoc. It would also feature boss battle stages with a more restricted area due to some form of fire or ark infested regions, really constraining your movements. Dead Orbit Sponsored strikes on the other hand would face off against tech-superior enemies who all have improved cover-clearing weaponry, and better ranged weapons (Vex Hobgoblins would be lethal!). The bosses would have more weaponry to rely on (for example the Cabal Rocket Guy would launch varied rockets every now and then which would keep the area they hit on fire, removing your ability to go back, and an ability to smokescreen the entire field, whilst Aksor would have grenades at his disposal which zone in on you). The boss battle stages would also change in that rifts in time and space would occur throwing you around the map here and there. Future War Cult Sponsored strikes would finally feature enemies with a tendency towards melee (imagine unique minotaurs with hammers, and fallen captains with voulges). They would have more ambushes along the way. The final boss would be smaller in size and move much faster, and in certain cases feature more of them (Aksor becomes three mini Aksors), and would also all carry close-combat weapons such as giant laser shotguns and what not! The boss battle area would feature high ground you cant reach with snipers taking pot shots at you. TLDR I fantasize a lot!
