Ideas for the Mobile App implementation (Airstrikes)

Imagine you are at Work, or waiting for your number at DMV or something, and you get a notification from a friend asking for some help on Mars. they are pinned down by an unplanned Ambush from the Kabal. so you as a friend on the app can maybe do 1 of 2 things (or more). 1. you can send them a care package with Health, Amo, and maybe even send one of your favorite heavy weapons for them to use. and maybe your personal ship shows up on your Friend's game to drop it off. 2. If your Remotely controlled Ship can show up in a friend's game, why not command it to Air Strike for them!? Either have it Zoom Past with Bombs blasting or Hover above and Maybe lay down some cover fire to let your friend out of the pinch. or even Decimate the mass of enemies with an onslaught of Fire and missiles. and MAYBEEEEEE, you can have that support fire be a playable Minigame on your phone that effects your friends In the game depending on how well you aim on the map to kill his enemies. I really think cool ways to support friends in battle will really keep you engaged in the game whether you are at home on your console or not. Might even be something you can do While actually Playing Destiny at home on your console. a supplementary activity controlled through your mobile device (This is already a possibility with the Wii U and im Sure Sony and Microsoft are moving in that direction with next gen). Maybe you call on your OWN ship for air support through your phone. Weapon Drops from your Armory on ship in case of a change in enemy type. very cool dont you think. What Do YOU want your Destiny Mobile App to offer?

  • Just customizing my character, weapons, and whatever on my phone/tablet would be enough for me. I think it'd be much easier on a touch-screen compared to the usual scrolling down down down down down down through menus and lists. Then, watch him update live on screen. Also, say I'm in a battle, it'd be cool to see enemy info and more in-depth self info on the app -- like Smart Glass does with movies. Or even simple stats like who is the enemy, how many have I killed, what's his history, and so on (limiting info based on the enemy/situation of course). A nifty little map showing my location would be cool, plus the option to toggle show/hide the locations of online friends and online strangers. Not sure how leveling up or items might work, but [i]game relevant[/i] mini-games to play when away that offer in-game rewards would be cool, especially if multiplayer or some sort of daily challenge. Also, I'd suggest a timer or daily limit to stop any farming. Anyway, great thread, and I hope some ideas from the community spark some great additions to the game/app.
