As tater has said, most of the stock lifeguard missions are pretty screwy, plus they are sorely lacking in variety. I want to move the date and location of that Guadalcanal mission to some other one, because it is really silly having it at the current date and time. Other things I'm working on:
- Randomized locations for downed pilots. Now they don't come down in the same location every time the mission is generated.
- Adjusted generation of missions: lifeguard duty assignments are now generated no more than 3 weeks before the downed pilots actually show up. This gives the player ample time to reach the lifeguard zone and eliminates the silliness of getting a lifeguard order months in advance.
- Brand new missions in brand new locations, such as off Shanghai, Hong Kong, the Home Islands, and Marcus Island (wayyyyyyyyyyy out in the middle of nowwhere, lol). Based on the information from the Navy's historical research web site, all of these new missions are based on their historical dates and locations.
Already I've added 8 new lifeguard missions, and I've barely scratched the surface of the information I've found online. In the end there should be more than plenty of lifeguard missions to go around.
