I could fly missions, if I'm permitted to use the DGIV. Could we use that as a fictional space craft?
1. What role you would like in OFMM (planning, meshing, flying a mission, etc)
2. What experience you have flying in LEO, to Mars, etc.
3. What your one concern about flying to Mars is (Time? skills? not flying?, etc)
4. Can you commit to something that will go on for several months?
I'd be happy helping with both flying missions and planning / coordinating missions if needed.1. What role you would like in OFMM (planning, meshing, flying a mission, etc)
Plenty of experience in building stations in LEO and flying spacecraft to the other planets2. What experience you have flying in LEO, to Mars, etc.
Only major concern would be the project getting caught up in development hell, though this is fairly unlikely to happen if we're avoiding dedicated add-on development.3. What your one concern about flying to Mars is (Time? skills? not flying?, etc)
Absolutely, I should have at least a few hours a day free.4. Can you commit to something that will go on for several months?
1. Love Flying missions and can help in planning (surface or orbital structures prerequisites diagramation), still no meshing.1. What role you would like in OFMM (planning, meshing, flying a mission, etc)

Whilst I don't do much in orbiter - I feel that the project could benefit from a "mascot" i.e. someone to keep the motivation going and keep everyone sane (ish).
- Rostering/scheduling etc (whatever annoying admin jobs people can't be bothered doing)
- Zip, nil, nada, nothing.
- Lack of motivation and mid-term goals.
- yes/no/don't know - with me, who knows when I'll land in hospital next!
Can I do the mission patches as well? (it's relevant as I want it to be a part of my role in this project)
If so, people can PM me about the details of their patch. It's like Eli13.
What missions? When did I put the mission list up? That's right. I never did.
This thread is for ROLL CALL ONLY.
We are NOT going to get ahead of things and start working on patches for missions that haven't even been created yet.
So. Roll Call only please. Missions later. Patches a distant third. Very distant.
Let me explain why - This thread should concetrate on one thing only. If it doesn't it'll get sidetracked and before long the entire OFMM will enter a discussion/development/mission patch hell from which it will never recover. I'm happy to arrange everything but to do that I'm going to ensure that threads don't get sidetracked and rerailed. This might sound harsh but if I don't we'll end up with a comittee of discussions rather than a solid set of missions.
Thank you.
Also, IMHO, Patches don't fly missions. I see little against having suddenly patches when we have missions, but missions must be first.
I would suggest only one kind of add-on making, if it can be done in a matter of less than 14 days: Have special payloads that can be transported by UCGO or for larger things, by a stock Shuttle-A.
But I don't feel like we need much there. Maybe a weather station would be a great payload for some missions. The existing payloads should do well for a first run.
And please: No XR-5. We would be done in a single mission then.

I think it would be great to make the first space station in mars orbit. Ship supplies to mars and then assemble launchers to specifically launch from a station on mars surface.
1. The missions (How, why, when).
2. The mode of operations (What methods are we using to get to mars).
3. The method of Mars visit (ISRU, Quick Sortie, long term).
