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

[Camisade]

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).

I too was wondering why I now have to wade through a bunch of spam wing missions when hunting the message boards in solo mode.

And I considered your answer. But the truth is, at least in the stations I haunt, there are so many single missions that pay WAY more per run than any of the wing missions, that the wing missions are just spam if you're motivated by either credits, reputation, or mats, more than some real stretch of an RP experience.

So, at least as implemented, I would *really* like a way to filter out the wing missions. :-/

As someone who doesn't wing up (whatever mode I'm in) I really like the introduction of the wing missions. The cargo ones are more how I always felt these type of missions should be.

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?

A selectable filter is ok, but not something that tries to prejudge what I want - no thanks.
