You go to merchants guild on new detroit, select a cargo mission from their database: deliver a ship ment of roboticxs parts to New Reno base in the Megaron system. you then launch, look on your quadrant map to see which systems link new detroit to megaron, then you autopilot to a nav point, jump, autopilot, jump, etc until you get to megaron, land and get paid money. On the way you can encounter pirates, retro's etc. depending on what the random craft generator picks.
If it generated craft at individual navpoints then you could go anywhere in the wing commander universe at any time even when not on a preset course. we could even add a feature where at certain navpoints you are morelikely to encounter kilrathi, while at other navpoints you are more likely to encounter confed or pirates, and retros.
so premade missions are not really necessary, if you go to Kilrah or Earth you would always find Terrans , Kilrathi at every waypoint. and on the front lines, you would encounter battles between the two almost every time.

No, wait. Would that even make sense?
