Why will there be "special" wing missions?

[Bunkerkind Anni]

dunno if anyone has pointed that out -
Peer 2 peer

anything you do in this game, happens mostly ony YOUR computer and is just remotely synced with a Server.
if you take a mission, the server provides you the data and from that point, it happens locally

of course, in such a system, doing a mission in a wing requires lots of code.
it also explains why they restrict it to one mission per player "because it needs more serverpower"

Just found the Q&A post from 16/01, where basically Adams answer (posted above) was stated:

Is there a reason why all missions cannot be completed in wings? I feel like this should be player choice, for example, multiple small ships can take a mission that might normally need a single big ship.
It’s a tremendous amount of work, requiring a lot of new functionality (such as the mission depot, partial complete, etc.) and a reworking of almost every mission template in the game. It was only feasible to add wing missions the way we have.

Yep... this underlines all the valid opinions here.
The only argument against transferring all missions to the new system is the amount of work it will take to port or rework the templates. Sad, but ok and hopefully only a temporary state.
