Title: Missions
Post by: cav58d on August 03, 2006, 02:21:49 PM
I would like the ability to create missions while in flight...

For the past 20 minutes i've been sitting outside V2 in an m3 just waiting for ords to get here to kill gv's, and I would love to be able to just set up a lanc mission while waiting, and send em here....  any chance of this?

I concur, it would be nice to plan a mission while you are in flight heading for a fight.  Sometimes there is a lot of slow time flying from point A to point B.  It would be nice to be able to do something useful.

Or how about quick commands, like in BF1942, or BF2. Switch to mode 5 for commands.

Command 1= Need Assistance
Command 2= Need Supplies
Command 3= Need Goons
Command 4= Need Escort
Command 5= Need Bomber Support
Command 6= Need Ground Support
Command 7= Enemy Bomber Formations spotted
Command 8= Enemy Fighter Spotted
Command 9= Enemy CV spotted
Command 10= Enemy GV spotted

and the list goes on

This could be used by typing .Command 1. On the chat bar or up top on your screen it would say [Players name, Needs Assistance] or say .Command 9 [Players name, Enemy CV spotted] If we had an AI say it like Need Supplies over vox that would be to annoying and over abused like it is in BF1942, but with it showing up in the text bar, or on your screen somewhere this could be needy for players to team up without having to start a mission. Special feature is right when u request help a player can pop up his map and see maybe a Blue star glowing on the map to show your posistion or the current request, and other color stars to show other commands. Like Red stars for enemy spotted, Blue stars for Needing help, and gold stars for supplies, or goons.

I have set up missions while in flight or parked somewhere. It is possible.

it would be cool to have those commands. in the message box it would say "xxxx has spotted a flight of bombers sector 7-4 key 5" or something like that, but it would be hard to remember all the commands

dude start your own thread because this has absolutely nothing to do with what im talking about...

*Everytime I have tried, there isnt any option for creating a mission in flight...Has anyone else actually been able to?  is it just me?

Wow :( But yes I'll do that.

Cav58 yes you can start a mission while in flight. Pop up your clip board, look for missions, then hit new missions on the clip board, and then u can set it up.
