This feature has sort of already been covered, but just a straight background importer would make things really nice (so I don't have to open notepad).

That way you can save separate presets and just select them from a list of installed presets.

Hehehe... It was, but it was fun going through all the files in text and seeing all the things that had been planned for various mission and that never came about... For example, did you know that the "original" (as of the initial mission creation) plan was for a SJ Apocalypse, not SJ Sathanas?  

Anyway, I have a whole list of goodies like that at my page (see siggy)...  

As for my wish - we really need to be able to direct capital ship movements better, including what they face and how many degrees to barrel-roll, etc.

The only thing I really want to see added is the possibility to jump in subspace, end up in another place, and jump again, and so on, and that in a single mission. Oh, and the possiblity to end a mission another way than jumping out... But I suppose all that ends up commonly in the wish list for the unlikely to be done FS3...

Really nice your 'Notes' section on the site...

[wEvil]

i suppose there would be user interface issues with that kind of thing.

Five things which would most improve gameplay (not ease of creation) are:

1) Wingmen who sometimes disobey an order if they think they're gonna die.
2) In mission jumping
3) Better AI (or selctable) tactics.
4) Dynamic missions. You set a basic campaign out and each time it is run, FS puts in a random number of enemy ships and targets.
5) More flowing gameplay. If you lose a mission it shouldn't just make you replay, it should branch into a different sequence of missions and events.

Number 5 would make campaign creation a nightmare but each campaign would be almost infinitely replayable. Number 4 is the best idea as it is fairly practical and would make the game way better.

Wow.. nice job... I'll say it again, you have a very nice site there.

like in flanker or falcon4.0, yep, that would be great. Imagine the game gives you the choice between multiple objectives, you have to pick one or two, set up your flight plan (subspace nodes) according to intelligence reports (thanx Setekh   ) to avoid enemies. Imagine that at the same time the other squads onboard any GTVA and shivan ships do the same, link all that with a full scale universe (take all the missions, when you jump out the next field is loaded during you subspace flight), and you'll meet shivan ships that are not here like they're waiting for alpha one, but are really on their way to achieve objectives, and you would have a great campaign, always different and interesting. Of course, add some triggered events, and some obligatory missions to make the story evolve, and hop!

(I like the idea though. But it would require lots more effort on the part of the mission designers, yes? Time well spent, I think...  )
