Title's a bit misleading, but its the closest thing that can explain the game mode.
Basically, it is a Limited/Seasonal Game mode where 4 Player-owned ships will spawn and fight against hordes of increasing skeleton ships.
-
The number of Enemy skeletons and the size of their ships will be scaled on the size of the player ship
-
The players have to either protect themselves, or has to defend a checkpoint/object/npc against an onslaught of ships
-
The players have access to temporary and permanent buffs to themselves and their ships (which only last for one game session) depending on how long they survive and their performance.
-
The game mode will not be available year long, only being playable during certain special events (Think Community Weekend, Gilded Voyage week, and Gold and Glory event).
... or you could make the game mode always available, there will be pros and cons to either way.
You can play on a public crew or with friends, but a lobby system should be implemented where players can pick and choose other players in the public and create four teams based on it rather than having to forcefully join a completely random group. This is to minimize the chances of a troll or a griefer from ruining the game session.
