Qualified answer:

1. In Squad Ops or Snapshot: a mission that results in no enemy seen/threat is a failure in my book. These events should be designed to foster action and not just 2 sides flying about for 2 hours and not seeing each other. (this is not an endorsment of furballing in these events. It is a notion that the targets assigned for offense and defense have both components and not just one or the other).

2. MA/CT: a landed sortie with no personal fight action is ok if:

a) recon was done
b) resupply of vital resource (dar)
c) you get to watch a truly amazing fight by others.

3. DA: nope -- sortie without a fight is pointless there.

Yes. This is Aces High, not Supply High, Recon High, or Dally High.

Usually want a fight, but in addition to situations outlined I gotta say I've loved some LR escort. Doing historical style high cover, swooping in to scare off the fighter lining up on my buff -- and not taking the bait to drop down low if the bogie dives out. Love those times all my buffs get home -- and especially like when they OK release so can tangle with the interceptors for a bit.

And, being a journeyman (between newbie and vet), I'll take any landing I can get -- like 'em better with kills, but like landing better than a chute or ball of flame.

Jaxxo - a newbie? someone's in denial.

If during the sortie you ended up dueling with Shane and it was a draw and you exchanged a big salute - then no it wouldn't be a waste of time. Okay monkies might be flying out from someones backside before that happens but if it did....

Good answer, especially as it's the "fite guys" who whine the loudest if the radar has gone blank.

Oh, it's a Nopoop post, so.....

"Wow, lookie here.. another newbie with a hard-on for me.

Are you Sunkings boyfriend?"

I am home on summer break...brought my puter with me and set it up at my bro inlaws. I sat and watched you,Urchin, private message him for about 5 minutes on how much of a piece of watermelon he was for shooting you down. You did the same to me after I killed ya 3 times in a row. I tried to joke around with you about it and you were still an insult spewing moron. No potshots here...if your gonna throw the first punch, better protect your chin. By the way I caught holy hell on ch.200 last night for my previous post on this thread. Someone out there actually is under the impression you are a likeable guy.
