Imagine, you have your operation group ready to take off from an interception fleet to face an enemy fleet poised on the verge of invading a planet under your control. Your tank and dps pilots could fly in and keep the capital ships occupied, while your smugglers fly through the blockade to drop supplies and weapons to the planet's inhabitants.

 

All the while your healer pilots could be equipped with repair gear on thier ship to keep the tanks and dps in the fight. While this is happeneing the opposing faction pilots could fly out to intercept your group from acheiving their goals. To me that would be a LOT of fun!

 

Just an idea I had. Elaborate if you'd like.

would rather they use the effort to fix everything else

thanks negative Nancy for your input. I was referring to a later date in the far future not tomorrow. Way to bring a room down geez.

It would be an interesting gameplay option expanding upon the space missions. Right now however, there's no indication anything like that is in the works, as the space missions are really a completely separate mini-game that doesn't appear to be a priority in development.
