Let's revive this. We're in need of a new gamemode, and a lot of assets were already made for this. We can make this happen!
Yeah, from a broad perspective, Martian could be seen as a very surgical special ops style game-mode compared to the ruff and tumble murder of the nuke ops gamemode. I also admit that I haven't properly read this thread, but here's an idea that could provide this other ideal special ops gameplay:
Maybe give the martians a list of say, 2/3rds of the station that they need to abduct alive. The remaining 1/3rd is useless and can be freely killed. Of the 2/3rds, x-total must be abducted to be harvested. This is also the biggest problem in the game's design. If we make dead bodies worthless, people can just dick over the Martians by suiciding, or even just accidentally dying. Alternatively, if we make dead-bodies useful, it'll just be another rough and tumble bloodbath. If we try and strike a balance, where if every single target, or the majority of them, died, then the martians wouldn't be able to meet their objective; then we have the risk of both problems being present.
Either way, there should be a focus on taking people alive. After all, we wouldn't have alien abduction stories if the "abductees" didn't come back alive!
