I'm thinking he means something on the lines of Privateer and I-War2, with their dynamic, relatively unscripted civvie traffic.

To be honest, while it would be cool and all, this would really only be effective if there were some sort of "free-flight" mode like in the aforementioned games.  But Freespace just isn't built for such a semi-persistent, dynamic universe.

And like they say, if it's only for one or two missions, why not just script your own traffic in?  It's time consuming, but not hard.

Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain."  - Gene Roddenberry
