I was thinking after someone gets to be a Master Pilot it would be nice to have new group missions available.

Master Pilots would take a mission from a new faction/neutral base, maybe get a breifing in a small breifing room (like in XvT) if they choose to or they can just skip it and hyperspace to the mission location with a small group of other Master Pilots. The missions could be like the "Corvette" missions (you know, being alone with your group inside the Corvette, no one else) in that its just your group in the mission area, no one else to mess with your objectives an such.

These missions need to be interesting like in XvT and have multiple objectives that requires teamwork to get things done. Say you take a mission to destroy a Star Destroyer, you need bombers to attack the SD and fighters to protect them (yes, I know they have a horrible blind spot but lets pretend the engines exhaust do alot of damage), and a side objective of stopping an escaping officer in a shuttle thats spying for the Empire then protecting the shuttle until the commando shuttle can come, dock with it and hyperspace out of the area.

Completing the missions would give all players in the group medals for completing the mission and even a rare chance of getting some great loot like after destroying the SD.

To make it interesting only a certain amount of people can go on a particular mission and the mission has a "suggested" amount of players needed to play the mission.

Now Im not sure just what the end game for these Master Pilot missions may be, maybe a final mission with human players on both sides. And after completing the final mission have access to an arena where PVP is like Kessel but there's no degrading in ship condition if you die. Could be a place to practice with team mates or just have some fun without the downside of having to buy a new ship after constant deaths. We could call it a simulator?

For those who dont want to play these with a group, well, Im not sure about that either.

I only bump topics once so:

I think it is a good idea. Right now I'm struggling slowely up the Tiers and thinking about post Master missions is a bit of a stretch for me, but not so far for me not to say I sure hope they're there when I make it to that exulted status!
