Squad-Only Mission Planner/Waypoint Plotter and Skins Request

[thndregg]

I brought it up before, but decided to post anew rather than bump an old thread.

Squad Posted Missions
It has been known one could simply post a mission intended for one's squad to join, which does little to exclude non-squad members from joining as it is posted publicly.
I would like to see an option added somehow to the mission planner such as two buttons [Squad] or [Country] before hitting the [Submit] button, if that is possible to code.
If there are difficulties that prevent this, then that is of course understandable.

Non-Mission Waypoint Plotter
Again, one could post a mission (for himself) to use the waypoint feature in the planner, but, it would be a handy tool simply to have the waypoint tool itself to use on one's own clipboard without having anything to do with the mission planner. This would aid in one's personal use, as well as one's ability to better communicate strategic planning to the squad if need be- similar to how the CV Task Group plotter works.

Retaining Player-Chosen Skins in Mission
I do not ask as the mission planner to choose the skin for the mission. I ask that players who join the mission be able to retain their chosen skin, rather than the mission planner automatically kicking it to the default skin upon launch- if this is at all possible to code.

Thank you.

I think it would also be nice if you could select a list of squads that you wanted to be able to see a mission.  For example, I know the 582nd sometimes provides escorts for 91st BG, and if you could make the mission visible to both squads, that would be quite handy.  Perhaps it would work by just typing in the name of any member of that squad.

+1 for squad, recently I have been flying in the scenario and many of out players have been lost once we get up in the air.

If we had a squad missons planned I could post a mission for everyone in my squad to see without having to worry about the fact that some people who are on the other side may see our flight path because they logged in on our country.

Agreed Squad only missions that are invisible to all otherplayers would be an asset.

Add also a squad room were missions can be planed and non squad members can enter only if invited.

What semp said, also, make it so instead of JUST your squad, let it be able to invite other squads

Not knowing anything about coding, there may very well be issues HTC might have with implimenting this. So, simpler might be better.

+1 to all, but adding on what semp said....  The squad room should be able to be decorated (posters/liquor bottles/etc.) by the squad that owns that room.  Make it like a breifing room, and make it accessable to all squad members regardless of what arena they're in.

dammit, i have to buy more inflatable sheep then?

+1 for this wish. You would think HTC would have implemented these suggestions a long time ago. Hopefully they get the time to work on this though.

That might not be wise in inviting other squads. There are the lone wolves out there who don't belong to a squad and could inadvertently be excluded.

I think a passworded entrance for missions (personal squad exception) or selective invite from the mission CO. I too fly a lot with the 91st, but my squad doesn't nearly as much. There would have to be some sort of notification that the mission is open to you (when it's PW protected of course, open is open) and if a single person in the squad (me for example) is the only one who has any interest, why bother the others with a possibly detrimental pop-up screen (text buffer might be misses).

Just a thought, but the general ideas I LOVE. Esp about the skins. I'm tired of trying to figure out which runway etc etc so I can launch ahead of time to keep my skin.
