See, now these are the missions you go on every day and weren't included in the FS2 main campaign.

I love real wingmen too.

Maybe I should just orginize a team to make it myself.  That way, it'll have everything I want.

That's a similar idea to what I was going to work on after Reciprocity - a 'proper' war campaign, where you actually know when you lose your comrades.  Like you supervise a training excercise when a wing of cadets gets torn to pieces by an ambush wing of Maras, or your wingman being suddenly blown apart right in front of you by a sniper sentry gun....

something where both sides fight dirty, and where the loss of your friends & comrades is often more important than even the main story.

That is actually one thing I really liked about both the FS and FS2 main campaigns: there was not much focus on individuals but rather on societies and institutions. I have seen many games that place way too much focus on some insignificant individuals who, by themselves, do not play any consequential role in the course of the storyline and whose solitary actions don't mean much in the big picture. There should be information provided on the upper-ranking military and political leaders and their actions, but I don't like having much emphasis on the ordinary people, except in masses.

cutscenes are cool but not necessary, MODs are nice but I don't need them, but good missions that bring you in and get you addicted like the regular FS2 campaign missions are a must!

Exactly; you can have a great campaign without any of the extras, but missions make up the core of any campaign and should always come first.

BTW if anyone wants properly designed and balanced missions instead of lots of mods, play the PI test release!:D

I was thinking about this and to do this each wingman would need a different AI (ie accurcy, evasion, courage, patience). Not to mention again different voices.

Ahhh! another Newbie that hasn't seached or just gone back a couple of posts. Didn't we talk about this already. Volition owns the rights to the cutscene file type. So a person can't make one by himself.

Actually Interplay does... jeez
You should have gone back and checked the old threads:doubt:
