Missions

[DREDger]

Currently a mission has to take off from one base, and all planes spawn at the same time.  I would like to be able to stagger the takeoff times for the different planes, and also use different bases depending on what you want to use.

Basically the current setup precludes using bombers and fighters, because their climb and speeds are so different.  If bombers could take off 10 minutes early, then fighters could join later, more fun for everyone.

Also, I wish the planes would go to runway with engine OFF.  What happens is as people join the mission, they takeoff right away, and the formation gets completely staggered.  I have to yell 10 times to hold on runway, then inevitably one or two takeoff anyway.

Does this make sense?

Yes, create multiple missions.

I know it doesn't give you what you want but it accomplishes what you want to do with out any change to the game.

I usually put a bomber mission together at some point in the night. What Im trying to do now is find some more players intrested in coming in for mop up, or escort/attack roles, from another base. Trying to really get missions off though is the harder part. I play on knights and some days it works great, sometimes, everyone is out doing there own thing. I guess thats where a squad really helps.

has been ask many times and i STILL support this ides It would be cool to launch planes at different times.

Havent ran a mission lately but you at one time could do this. Ive had bombers take off early and farther from E lines. Launched fighters 10 minutes later from a field much closer. Also I have had 2 flights takeoff from different areas and converge on a single target from different directs. Small dar bar and suddenly you have 20 planes in your sector.....works great!
