____________________________________________________________
Learning about current active missions, either for the player that wants to join or for the leader who wants a situational awareness, is currently a complicated task since you need to join every brigade one by one, and then jump throughout every missions. The new design allows you to access valuable mission information by simply going through the mission list of the side HQ.
Typical side HQ display when selected a platoon in the list
#31. In opposition to the current system where you can't get any valuable information about a mission without joining it yourself, the new system allows to display instantaneously extra information by selecting a mission in the list. The following extra information should be found:
- Quick button to send a private message to the ML (swifter then typping /m);
- Current target - if selecting a platoon only (support missions have none (feature #1a), and selecting a squad mission doesn't provide such an information at the side HQ level (feature #21)). Note that there's no origin mentioned (feature #2);
- A map focusing on the current target
- Mission type (feature #50a);
- Countdown before expected deployment;
- Platoon stats : duration since creation, platoon kills and deaths. Initially this feature was designed for the case where players would still be allowed to join a deployed platoon, since such informations could help them evaluate the current effectiveness of the platoon. Though this has changed (feature #3), this information could still serve to the OIC and the ML as his leadership points could eventually make use of it.
- Orders - if selecting a platoon only : One of the most important information that should be made available without needing to join. This will provide a good situational awareness both to the OIC and to players looking to join. Also notice for how long the order has been posted.
Mission members list is avoided at the side HQ level but will be displayed when selecting a mission in the brigade HQ level (feature #52). Other content could be added in the feature.
#32. If you selected a town on the interactive map, the search filter isn't canceled when you go through the different missions. A reset button allows to display the default screen back.
