Next mission?

Izack, I had something like the Rocketship Galileo in mind.

Oh man, I need more DGIV training and less addon repairing.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but what exactly are the OF Missions? I read some OFMM topics and I can see that it is some kind of role playing, but what is the actual work-flow for the steps? There's some sort of master scenery file -- is that handed back and forth between people with different steps completed? Does it involve at any point any kind of multi-user simulating?

Just reading through it I have all kinds of ideas, like doing robotic missions with real world latency built in, networks of satellites with constant LOS for communication, etc. I don't really know what the framework is capable of, but it's piqued my interest. I'm a software developer with no job at the moment and I need a project.

Maybe there's some thread that intro's the whole OF Mission thing.

There have been several projects that have involved building a space station in low Earth orbit, each station was unique using many different launch vehicles during the assembly process. Typically a group member was assigned a flight, and would then be responsible for that particular part of the assembly process. The "pilot" would post the completed scenario; which would then be used by the "Flight Director" to build the next scenario.

The flights are usually fun, but it is difficult sometime to coordinate schedules between pilots.

There was a mission to Mars, but it got stuck in a development quagmire. There was a "lite" set of missions that went to Mars, and deployed a base on Phobos.
