i personally think it wouls be cool to sit down start one mission and have it give me a completely different mission every time !
I suggest the name "dynamic" missions, from the Operation Flashpoint series of missions; though they were sorta resetting themselves.

kinda like the quick missions. but with more ships more battle more potential from everything from a down pilot pickup , to a mined harbor / land assault to a blue water asw op. toss in the occasional friendly group to be in the midst of a fleetwar against random enemy formations..

how in the heck do i apply some of the really good ideas you guys have on random depth and/or speed scripts to hundreds/(thousands ?) of potential ships and subs and aircraft ? at this large a scale am i better off just copying and pasting 10 or 20 of the same ship and changing up the speeds and/or depths and putting them into greatgreatgreatgrandchildren groups to choose only 1 of the 20 or better to try creating scripts triggers and hidden whales to activate them ?
I have a neutralsgenerator in the works - but at this point, the code isn't even usable for anything. The goal is for the generator to handle most of this.

and seriously
what else really just doesnt work right ?
...did anyone write that book yet? No?

(Someone should put up a wiki for the mission editor, and any time something doesn't work, the mission maker should put in an entry for it...)
