Assassination mode and recall

First one is available as "commander ends" setting for the host.

"your comm has been abducted by aliens, we apologise for the inconveniance"

Comms are meant to explode, their wrecks and death explosions are a big part of gameplay.

'Assassination mode' is a bad idea. People generally hate being given other players units, and managing a dozen other peoples bases is generally considered unfun by most players- we know this from when people go AFK or crash. Primarily though, it means the winner will depend entirely on whether the competent player ends up with everyone elses units, or the high elo players end up with giant bullseyes on their heads and get suicide sniped by bombers at the start of the game.

If you're suggesting the units go inactive or self-destruct, that's even worse and just causes a slippery slope where one loss means game over.

Ah yes, our commander ends mode is not quite the assassination requested here. If a team loses all their commanders the whole team loses, commander losses before that have no effect.

Original comm ends mode could work in 1v1 or in FFA, but it completely sucked in team games. It was just a slippery slope, 1-2 comms died, game over.

Our comm ends mode is different from the original, like GoogleFrog pointed.

It would make neebs invest 5k into combat com and then sit cloaked in the corner to protect it (like people already do). Also, either cloak or spamming HP module becomes mandatory if you don't want random bomber/skuttle to end your game prematurely.

Go ahead... Nothing stops you from creating it yourself, all the tools are at your hand.
