Rather than SL mission terminals, why not add extra missions to existing mission terminals?
Imagine a Squad Leader going to any old Mission terminal (with a group), and getting a single mission (worth ~150k) to go destroy a huge target (like a krayt dragon) or destroy several smaller bases. Or getting a 200k delivery mission where you're delivering a huge transport of medical resources, and you're under almost constant attack along the way. Making taking a scout mission deep into enemy territory, or an entertainer gig to the front lines (USO Show boys!) Take a group of artisans or crafters to the front lines to outfit a unit, or build reinforcements around a base. PErhaps even have missions with a list: "This mission requires a smuggler and an architect". Require certain professions to be needed, like a smuggler for these delicate deliveries, or a combat class for destroys, etc.
I don't think we really need our own mission terminals, but it would be nice if a Squad Leader could somehow "access" missions that were of equivalent difficulty and reward as the current setup (everyone in the party grabs 2 missions in the same direction). Right now, it causes alot of chaos and confusion trying to figure out who's mission is closest, and where we should go, etc.
Seems like a good idea to me.
