I know this is long but tell me what you think. Should I post this to the forums?

I think DE's best option with this mission is to take some of the crappier Sortie rewards and put them here while removing some of the early game trash mods and rewards from Assaults reward pool altogether. Who wants vitality or Streamline at this point in the game? Also maybe making the game mode a little more varied would help with people's attention spans. For example, there are obvious ArchWing targets at several points in the mission but there are no secondary objectives to take out the small fry that lay down air support. We don't even have the option of switching to ArchWing mode and flying around at all even though for the most part it seems like we are looking a open space.

As for some examples of reward changes to think about they could consider a few things. No one wants to do a Sortie and get a regular Focus lens for all the effort involved but for a longer mission like Assault I think most wouldn't complain as much, especially if they were a rare end of mission reward that wasn't thrown around like virginity on prom night. The Sortie 4k endo reward should be moved from the Sortie reward pool to Assault's end of mission reward pool (varied from 2k to 4k but no Ayatan-if you want the potential platinum you still have to do the Sortie). Put built forma, Orokin Catalyst Blueprint, Orokin Reactor Blueprint, rare mats dropping at rates starting a 10 or so (mutagen samples, fieldron samples, detonite ampules, etc.), the other 2 electric 60/60 mods that are currently Baro exclusive, and Xiphos parts in the caches as rare drops to give people reason to look for caches when they play. Make common cache drops include a random amount of Kuva between 150 and 550 per cache (just enough to not make Kuva Siphon missions irrelevant). Remove Vitality and other low level mods and rewards that everyone will already have by the time they reach the Kuva Fortress (think about all the quests and missions that must be done just to get the War Within started!) and make the common drops include Arch Wing mods (depending on if Arch Wing Secondary objective is completed--no unfair farms, if you want Arch Wing stuff you'll have to to dust off your Arch Wing and give it a/another go).
