====== MISSION BRIEFING ======

REDSHIP is under attack!

RED: Save your crew and your ship
by defending the objectives.
Get outside and prevent the
BLU from invading the ship!
BLU: Take control of REDSHIP by
destroying key objectives
located on the ship. Make
your way inside RedShip and
get to the ship's core.
Destroy it to take commands.

BLU has prepared an assault on
RED's main sky base, "REDSHIP 450".
Their objective is to neutralize it
and all of its crew and seize it.
BLU plan on getting inside the ship
by neutralizing the cargo bay shield,
then to progress inside towards the
engine room, section by section.
Key objectives are located in each
section and destroying them will
grant access to the next section
until the engine room is reached.
If BLU succeed in destroying the Core,
they will take command of RedShip.
Will RED let them do this?

Good luck!

=========================


MORE INFORMATION:


General:

RedShip is different from a regular payload map from its objectives that must be destroyed/defended.
You have to push a cart like in any other payload map, but RedShip randomly choses 1 from 3 different types of payload. (see below)
There's also 3 different possible atmospheres for the map: a sunny day up above the clouds, a cloudy day or sunset time above the lake. They can play to your advantage depending on the class you play.
Sometimes you'll also have environmental objects to destroy that block your way or to unlock a path to help your team.

Easter eggs can also be found on the map: one for each of the 9 classes in the game. Can you find all of them?


For the BLU team:

- Objectives are marked as yellow exclamation marks in a triangle as seen on some of the screenshots. They are above or below an object you must destroy.

- Each objective destroyed gives you 2 points and adds extra time for your team.

- The core gives you 3 points once destroyed.

- BLU cannot open locked vents to get inside unless the consoles in the CIC room (objectives) are destroyed which will permanently open them.

- Like usually, pushing the cart gives you points, and reaching a capture point will reward you with points but NOT extra time. Only objectives that have been destroyed add extra time on top of the extra points mentionned above.


Payloads:

- If the playload you must push is the RE Bomb (radioactive emission bomb), you can activate it every 2 minutes. Once activated, the RE bomb will start releasing radioactive emmisions for a short period of time. During this time, only the RED team can get hurt by it. When the RE bomb is ready and can be activated again, its antenna will start blinking and a message will show on-screen. This payload will not self-destruct when arriving at the final destination, the BLU team must use it to get to the Core of RedShip, then destroy the Core manually using standard firepower.

- The "assault cart" (sentry+dispenser) has a level 1 super sentry mounted by default. The super sentry can be upgraded for more firepower and, although not invulnerable, is much more resistant to attacks, but can still be sapped by spies. This payload will not self-destruct when arriving at the final destination, the BLU team must use it to get to the Core of RedShip, then destroy the Core manually using standard firepower.

- If the payload is a normal bomb (standard self-destructive bomb), the BLU team won't get any advantage during the battle. This payload will self-destruct when arriving at the final destination. The explosion will cause a localized but very powerful detonation that will destroy the Core and any players nearby.

- Each payload type include a super dispenser. These special dispensers act as portable medical cabinet: they heal and resupply almost instantaneously. They also cannot be sapped and are much tougher than their man-made counterpart. They, however, can be destroyed if damaged for a long period of time.


For the RED team:

- Protect the objectives to prevent the BLU team from advancing and getting extra time.

- RedShip is in lockdown mode when you start a match, so nobody can use the vents to get outside unless the consoles in the CIC room (objectives) are destroyed by the BLU team which will permanently open them.

- During stage 2 if the BLU team succeeded in capturing RedShip, the payload for the RED team will be the assault cart with a super sentry and a super dispenser just like the one the BLU team can have.


Note:

The flamethrower does NOT damage objectives. Neither do the baseball (the bat itself does damage) and the jarate. Melee weapons, on the other hand, are very effective.
