I have had a lot of fun making my own missions. I use TMO and RSRD with a scattering of other technical mods. I click on a mssion or perhaps even my career, but usually ignore the assigned mission and go do my own thing.

Examples:

1. Just cruise the world. Treat it as a sailing and navigation trip. Hit the ports, manage fuel. No combat, but it is interesting. It also helps you to know the ports a bit better.

2. Get in the middle of a World War II battle. Set out to be in the right place at the right time to be in the middle of the Battle of Coral Sea or Battle of Midway, to name only two.

3. Track down a major Japanese ship. Do a bit of historical sleuthing and figure out the movements of a real ship and then go see if you can find it in the game. With RSRD, that is often possible.

4. Penetrate Japanese ports. Pick a Japanese port and see if you can get inside. First work on the easy ones, like Saipan or Guam. Then, work on Truk. Then, when you are brave enough, go through the Bungo Suido (don't get sunk by Bungo Pete) and hit the Inland Sea. Or, go into Tokyo Bay and see what ships are in there.

Those are four good options. Any other fun and challenging ideas out there?
