Here are a few things that I've been planning:
Individual missions:
- Destroy a (non - Ares) capital ship terrorizing the civilian population of a system.
- Protect a Fleet installation from being overtaken by Rogue Fleet personnel.
- Join a battle already in progress between the Fleet and the Ares.
- Salvage supplies from a destroyed Aurochs.
- Destroy an Ares station that is in the process of preparing a strike force to attack the CSC.
- Repel a massive Kobol raid on a major Commonwealth station. The raid could be supported by any Kobol stations in the system.
- Evacuate a Fleet installation in a system that has been abandoned.
- Escort a CSC out of a system that has been deemed a lost cause. After the mission completes, the CSC is present in the system that the stargate it used leads to.
- Deliver classified intelligence to another CSC or Fleet installation via a ROM.
Larger chains:
- Diplomacy with the Ranx Empire, seeking a ceasefire so that the Fleet can focus on the Ares. As former Commonwealth citizens, the people would be open to it, as would some factions of their military. Political conflicts could emerge with the Ringers, given that the Ranx are another potential source of petracnium for the Fleet.
- Escort a convoy of Scarabs towards Point Juno over several systems. You can procedurally generate this mission so that every system presents a different threat based on the stations therein - systems with high Kobol or Rogue Fleet presence could feature raids, the Ares could mass at the opposing stargate in systems they control, and, in stations with a large Commonwealth presence, one of the freighter captains might try to run off with his supplies and take them to his home station, leading you to either destroy his ship or follow him there and confront him.
- Methodically clear an Ares - infested system. The AI would have to be configured similarly to Charon so that stations collaborate with each other in defending against the player, forcing him to either clear it through the missions or face a much more difficult fight.
- Escort some Aurochs - class ships to an Ares supply depot to make a forced entry and take it over. Defend the captured supply depot against an attempt by the Ares to destroy it, then protect some additional freighters as they bring the captured supplies back to the CSC. Finally, escort the Polar - class freighters docked at the station out of the system. After success, another mission is added to the standard roster - watch as a friendly (auton - modified) Polar makes a suicide run on an Ares station, then lead your squadron in finishing off the survivors.
