Background: I did fly/drive in four scenarios.
[1] No
[2] I very much dislike 'being in uniform', sticking to a formation, following orders, not being able to do 'my thing', not being able to go AFK for extended times.
I absolutely HATE 'being in uniform' and not seeing any action for hours, which has happened more than once to me. I actually had two frames where I never saw any enemy at all. The only scenario that was really fun to me was the original DGS. The rest was work. I hate work.
[3] Nothing. I'm afraid a scenario that would allow players to do what they want on an individual level would not be a scenario any more 
Lusche-
I fully expect you to know nearly everything there is to know about AH and Special Events given what I've read in your posts.
Given your response (which is appreciated), clearly Scenarios are not for you. And they won't be for everyone.
The reason for this straw poll was for me, and Brooke and the Scenario Team, to try to understand what's holding people back from joining in. I've talked to lots of players in the MA about joining a Scenario, and time and time again, they tell me they don't know what it is or how to join. Or, that the 4 Saturday format won't work for them. Or, like you, they flew a whole frame with no action whatsoever.
Well, I'm trying to make sure people know about Scenarios and how to join, and that the new 12 hour format gives people more choice and control over how and when they play. Seems more people can schedule time on a single day easier than over 4 Saturday afternoons.
As for the issue of inaction, the layout and objectives in recent Scenarios have been purposely designed to increase by concentrating the points of conflict closer together, allowing shorter transit times to the action. Also, the number of required missions and targets that must be hit, has been increased to provide more combat opportunities. The was proven in the last scenario 'Dneiper", which was a constant, non-stop fight in a very compact battle space. Bad guys were over your bases and in-your-face in less than 10 minutes from the opening each frame, and it never stopped for the full 3 hours each day.
Now they are bringing this together in the 12 hour, play when and as much as you like, format. It should be a riot.
However, for such a seat-of-the-pants Lobo like you (

), there is nothing anyone can do to alleviate the need for uniforms, strategic assignments, mission discipline, etc. The only place for you is the MA where you can play in the way that makes you happy. Which is as it should be.
