Default Objectives

When reading through the posts on the forum, a lot of people are referring to getting specific objectives from BdU, like sinking a ship transporting special machinery, or raiding a specific port.
Seeing I'm only getting "Go to grid XX" orders (Which always happen to be faaarrr of from any shipping lane), I'm wondering...how do you all get these specific orders?

They are probably referring to one of the single missions. You won't get that type of mission in the campaign.

OTOH, they may be playing in something like Wolves at War, where the admins of the game can give out such missions.

That might be WB's Mid-Patrol Orders? I bet someone knows for sure.

Another option might be that those orders are generated by SH3Gen. It's an external application that analyses your save game and gives some information that may happen in the world. Basically in the form of an intelligence report. It can also plot probable locations on the map.

That one crossed my mind but I couldn't remember the name of it.
