Why do we have winged missions when there is no real way of finding wing mates?

Tons and tons of players are in player groups that play in their own Private Groups (becaus of reasons). I would say it is a feature to use with friends you already know and play with.

For those in Solo... it is a great way to earn some good money. See it as your "personal CG" or rather... "SG" (Solo goal). :)

It is also a way to smash two flies in one strike;

1) It adress Cargo missions, in particular, for those with big ships, especially in Solo.
2) It adress a start for COOP gameplay, where those in PGs or Open, can help eachother to gain some quick cash.

That makes no sense. Try an assassin mission solo then revisit your answer.

It would be better if they implemented a wing finding feature like,they did with multi crew.

The intention in this chapter was to allow winged missions as a new feature so cmdrs could team up. And it was a prioritized implementation where other considerations outside the scope of the feature had to be left open for now where it was probably assumed cmdr players would join up through other means. i.e. outside of game, inter-messaging to friend contacts, etc.

Maybe the message window could have a feature similar to multicrew where cmdrs could "check in" a pool list for signifying a preference to join a winged mission (or some other type of listed common activity). Cmdrs currently online in the same game mode within a certain ly radius of each other could appear in the list.

For now, you can use the multicrew host and join functions to find cmdrs currently in game for a possible wing mission teamup.

A wing finding feature might be helpful, but also be mindful of the many abuses made upon other players ships with MC. Wings may work better though, as you have less chance of griefing although it is still possible.

I play almost exclusively alone in this game, but I'm really sure that with just a little bit of effort on my part, I could probably find people to fly with.

Making friends beats any group finder, any day, and it's worth doing.

I agree, wing transport missions are dominating the mission boards, so could ED have a some recognition of what mode you play in (i.e. not showing wing missions in solo), or perhaps a filter? :)

It'd be cool if you could set weightings to what missions you want to see, Combat/Trade/Mining/Wing etc and have it affect the mission spawn somewhat. You don't get to decide but it's an influencer. Same with passengers being long range/VIP/luxury/economy/lots of passengers/small numbers of passengers.

That'd be a cool feature...

So, will we see an implementation the near future that allow us to search for wing-mates?

I can't believe they forgot this one little tidbit that ties it all together. lol
