Wing missions need to be separate, like passenger missions.

Agreed - I like that they exist for those that would like to take them on, but I'd rather they didn't take up solo mission space.
 
Just like there are already separate sections for passenger missions and all other missions, I would very much prefer that wing missions were given their own separate section, so that they don't clutter up the boards and crowd out regular missions for those of us whose buddies aren't online.
I agree, as soon as I got online after the update last night I found on checking the mission boards it was all multi load wing missions and the single ship missions payouts were vastly reduced and few and far between. As I can go weeks and more without seeing any human Cmdrs in my neck of the woods it is highly unlikely that a wing is in my immediate future.
 
Absolutely agreed.

I play with a couple friends, I love Wing Missions.. but when I am on by myself, they clutter the mission board and make it more difficult to find missions I want to run Solo.

Putting Wing Missions in their own category would be a great move and I hope FD gives this serious consideration.
 
Given that the implementation of Wing Missions, is grindy high volume stuff, then yes, please separate them.

However, if Wing Missions become what they are supposed to be, all missions can be shared by a wing, then please keep them where they are.
 
Definitely agreed. Seeing 90%+ of the mission board as wing missions was a little disconcerting. I still managed some good money last night but it has limited the amount of missions I can take from a station while in a smaller ship; for many that leads to more board flipping which isn't a desired outcome. Sure, in a big ship I'd happily do a few delivery runs to complete a wing mission and get the massive payout but as an independant player still in small/medium ships wing missions aren't that relevant to me. Moving them to another board gives everyone the options to do what they like without hindering any preferences.

As a matter of curioisty cannot an individual Commader accept a mission marked for Wings?

Yes. That is possible. I did transport missions. And I enjoyed that. And I also enjoyed the sharing of one of these missions with a friend.

So there is no real need to separate these missions. Maybe a filter option would do it.
 
The problem I have with wing missions is that they seem to kinda replace the normal ones. After the patch something like 80% of missions available in Lembava were either data missions or wing missions.
Also, they pay a bit too little for a solo player to want to bother with them. When you have 4 people do the mission and each of them receives the full reward, that's nice. But when a single person has to do a job of 4 people and still gets rewarded as one... Yea, not good at all.
 
Agreed, I couldnt believe it wasnt in the current filter when I tried filtering them out... then again its Frontier so... Anyway - ye its beyond a joke with all those missions. I have played ED on and off (mainly off) since release.. keep waiting for the penny to drop at Frontier and them to sort their game out (although it is improving all the time..), but I already have to spend a long time looking closely through the mission board (when im not getting disconnected.. with my 75mbps/8ping internet connection).. that it now takes FOREVER with all the wing missions clutter. I also only see other commanders once in a blue moon (havent played a single wing mission yet) so i really am not interested in this feature currently. SORT IT OUT. PUT A FRICKIN FILTER. duh! thanks...

Yes, I think you are right. Lets hope they fix it asap.
 
It is insane as it is encouraging even more BB switching ! Just did a test : 3 BB switching and everytime, atound 80% of missions are wing ones...
something has to be change.
Any solution should not reduced the number of possible missions. That is why it has to be sperated as passenger missions.

Hmm, in the system I played in last night there were only a few, leaving me worried there wouldn't be enough for when I play with friends tonight...
