Retrieve Mode is backwards

[Hai Fisch]

Give the ball to 'squid'. Have it fly away from start and "refuel" (evasive 'patroling') near the next depot for a set amount of time; The depot could be armed, hostile, and a spawn point for AI. Offer buffs for their destruction?  And force player to carry ball all the way back to start instead of depot thing?  I think that would be fun and less blitz-able....

I was told they tried something like that to start, but the long travel time was found unfun.

That already exists already as the game mode infiltrate, except you're arming the depot and adding a ball.
