Goals
- Decrease downtime when doing space missions in groups.
- Significantly improve grouping experience.
- Encourage grouping with pilots of the same level as you and helping each other complete missions
- Remove the need to avoid a sector, if you dont want to do your mission right now.


Proposal
When you enter a system you have a mission in wouldn't you like to be prompted whether you'd like to activate the mission?

Then you can pick up your mission and carry it around until you want to give it a try.
If you havent got time to do the mission now you can still pick it up, carry it around and not - like now - having to evade the system in question until you do the mission.

Furthermore if you're grouping to help each other out everyone can pick up their mission (regardless of what system its in) and take the missions one at a time, which would effectively rid not only a single person but an entire group of a lot of unnessesary downtime.


Implementation
Could be implemented via a active/inactive toggle on the mission or just by a prompt when entering the system in question.
Ideal approach would be both at once, so you dont need to leave/reenter a system to activate the mission, but thats details.


Considerations and possible disadvantages
None at the moment.


Discussion
- How do you feel about this idea? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
- Why?

What do you think of this idea?

Personally I think it would help out with missions quite a bit, and doesn't seem that hard to implement (but who knows).
