Ok this is just an idea but what if you could chose your career (e.g. Fighter Pilot or Bomber Pilot) and have a branching campaign for those options. I'm thinking about a mission at the start where it would say press 1 for fighter pilot and 2 for bomber pilot.
Would this work or is completely stupid.

You wouldn't press buttons for a choice though. You'd simply give the player a fighter and a bomber in loadout in the first mission and then change what happens based on which one they choose.

But yeah, this was probably doable with retail FS2.

Are you saying it isn't for the FSO Fred2?

Everything doable in retail is doable in FSO.

It just seemed to me that karajorma was implying that it wasn't doable in FSO (Sorry it was a pretty stupid question to ask.)

It could be interpreted that way yeah. But what he was actually saying is that it has always been possible, rather than being some SCP addition :)

I'm guessing to cut the workload somewhat you'd use the same missions with different objectives?

I wouldn't. Maybe the first mission could work like that, but a well designed bombing mission is much more than an ordinary fighter mission with slightly different objectives. A proper bombing campaign would be awesome though - too often bombing is just relegated to two or three missions in major campaigns - a well made, solidly plotted bomber campaign would be cool and fairly unique.

ah okay

 
Boom. Now I know how to flavour my mini campaign!

Great Idea.  It could also work for a NTC v. GTVA choice,  if that hasn't been done already.? (not with the choice of ship though,  but the option of divergent but parallel campaigns.
