Initial raw idea.

General Concept

Like in Flashpoint Levant it would be nice for it to be possible to take up a mission and be responsible for it.
This could be nice for bigger missions that would require more flight time for example. (would be nice to know your target is there when you get there)

However, in my opinion it would be nice to think of a new way of doing it.

Owning a mission

(Should make sure synchronisity works)

For the owning player

Instead of currently pin mission it would be assign mission
Then instead of pinned mission it would have assigned mission.

For other players

The mission is not removed from the list.
The briefing command does not return the briefing, but returns the people assigned. (In order to communicate etc.)
Request To Join should be available now in stead of assign mission
The people that are inside of the mission will then have the option to accept or deny a join request..
{SpearheadRoot} => Join Requests => <player name> => Accept/Deny

"Groups"

Groups are joined by joining the same mission. Then continuing to a new mission will transfer that entire group.
Disbanding a group should be possible before joining a new mission.

Giving missions back to the pool

When all players are gone from the server a mission should be returned back to the pool.
This should be monitored in a loop as the mission environment does not have connect/disconnect. Shouldn't be an issue.

Players should also be able to "unassign" the mission.

If we end up implementing the ability to have mission-specific drawings that only get shown when a mission is active, should these drawings then only be shown to players assigned to that mission?
