How about a .escort {game id} command? A fighter would pick a bomber to escort and type in that players ID. Then if the bomber RTBs, the fighter would get points. If not, the fighter would loose points. Say, 5 points if all 3 buffs in formation flight RTB successfully, 3 if a single buff. -5 if none make it back etc.?
Then the fighters would have an interest in the mission!!!!:aok
