Should there be a server that has 1000s of missions?

I was wondering if it was possible to set up an official 1C server and get people to submit missions to it. The idea would be that people log in, play a mission with objectives and stuff, and be able to play many missions without seeing the same one in rotation twice. Given that the first 3 games are set on the Eastern Front, it should not be difficult for people to have the right plane to fly. This will hopefully create a great server with objective oriented missions(i.e more ground attack against enemy front line units, less random dogfighting) and time accurate planesets. The best part is that all 1C will have to do is ask the mission makers to donate missions(and many of the mission makers are excellent). So, good idea or bad idea?

They haven't been interested in hosting much thus far - skins has been recommended. They have shown an interest in hosting campaigns in the store the last few weeks. I can see the merits of your suggestion but only give it a 50/50 shot at best.

I'm not sure that I see the connection between "never seeing the same mission twice" and "less dogfighting, more objective play".

The idea is that there would be a great number of missions in rotation, and thus, every new mission would have a different objective, and while there would still be dogfighting going on(infact, there would probably have missions in which 1 side has to down a flight of enemy bombers heading for a supply dump or something, and the other side must escort), hopefully the pilots would try to achieve the mission goals.

It could also serve as a server where people could just fly one mission after work or school, and not have to worry about the progression of the grand campaign. Idealy, the setting would be some custom mix of normal and expert modes(best case senario is the settings for the missions in coconuts lobby)

I like coconuts stuff too and there already is a server with 13 plus objective based missions running on 90 minute rotation or objectives met. Its called Battle-Fields.com UK_1 server.

 

While I can appreciate the sentiment of having many missions to choose from. However at this time it is not realistic with regards to how missions are made much less in the fact that after game updates missions must often be redone to work properly.

My thing is that WoL has so many missions that the rotation is many days long, but objective-based play is sporadic at best.

There was a server in hyperlobby for 1946 that hosted coops that you could choose it was great and easy fun
