Part of the fun of this game is the ever-changing dynamic that happens minute-to-minute. I can't count how many times I've headed for a target or AF with the right ord and the right plan only to have it go all to hell halfway there. Some light bombs for ord and a few rockets to deack town suddenly turns into a desperate "all ords on the VH" call. Maybe I'm alone in this but part of the fun for me is the challenge of figuring out on the fly "now how am I going to do THAT?" Oh sure, there I times I very much don't like my plan swept out from under me, but if it never did, this would be little more than an arcade style game where every required result only requires one specific action, never changing.
I wouldn't want that. And as for spawns, I'd rather have a "back to base" spawn than an "out in space" spawn.
