GOD you are dense ! I understand that the Bish love your missions, I understand that you need to add more spaces to accommodate those who wish to join you, Thats GREAT !!! I applaud you and you missions. < ---- PLEASE NOTE NONE OF THIS IS SARCASM, all I'm saying is when you have the numbers, split your force to hit multiple targets. In doing this you have fun, everyone who joins your missions has fun, and yes even the guys you are hitting can have fun because its only 2 on 1 in stead of 6 on 1.
If on Friday night you get together with your squad and defend a base, and lo and behold a horde comes in and flattens everything. You move on to the next base, and here they come again. How long does your fun last? How soon before your squadies start logging in frustration? If the horde that was hitting you splits and hits a few bases at the same time, you guys stick around, having more fun, hanging with each other. Maybe you even stop the mission at that base while they capture the other two, but its still fun because its not a steam roller.
I'm not telling anyone how to fly, or how to play the game, I'm asking for a little consideration and for people to spread the fun out. Thats all, is that tough to understand?
Fugitive I fully understand what you are saying, and I do agree. There is an issue that would make it difficult for what you suggest be successful.
The problem with most missions is they are announced and joined by a variety of folks. Many are spur of the moment things. Like I stated in an earlier post players have their various reasons for joining. This is not like the real military where you are mandated to follow the orders of the leader. I have found players in this game seem to take offense at the littlest things. I have been involved in missions that took multiple bases, but to do it correctly and successfully there has to be some planning involved before the mission is launched. Then you have the issue whether the players joining will follow the directions (orders) if the one leading the missions.
Your suggestions works well in the larger squads, but I don't want to even start that argument.
