>>Are you saying with TMO alone convoys are in a zig pattern as they travel.

Yes. I don't remember the exact numbers, but there's about a 20 to 30KM leg for each zig or zag, with each waypoint having a 10KM random radius. So you never know EXACTLY when it will change course, but have an idea when it might. Assuming you've been tracking the convoy long enough to pick when it's last zig was. If your curious, open one of the convoys in the TMO mod directory with the mission editor.

>>I assume your changes still show up regardless of RSRD

I haven't looked at RSRD anytime recently, but last i looked at it, the answer to this question is No. One campaign completely overwrites the other. Essentially, this is an A Or B choice. There is no option C for "all of the above".


>>One thing I wish is we could get more patrols in campaigns that were more like single missions.

Right now i have one, "Gamey" alternative in TMO. I have two flotillas in the default campaign that are assigned special operation missions every other patrol. I haven't recieved alot of feedback on that, so its probably going to go away next update. Nobody seems to use it, and neither do i. I just started redoing standard patrol assignments this morning, and i'll probably end up rewriting the entire flotilla file along with it.

At any rate, if your happy with RSRD, there's no need to switch. If you want to try something new out, by all means, go for it. I've done campaign work mainly because ive always followed my own vision in things, and even if nobody else uses the default campaign, I will. I'm really sort of making it for myself, but everyone else bennfits by having another choice.
