And yes, I assume that is not what you meant with "smart", but neither am I willing - for the moment - to assume that you wanted to call my mental acuity or intelligence into question. So I guess we should not dwell any more on that.<br/><br/>Onwards. Would having all player be in the same squadron been a good idea?<br/><br/>My answer is a firm No.<br/><br/>Interaction can happen in a whole lot of ways (none of which requires quotation markes in my opinion, unless you are talking about sexual encounters). But if we are talking about combat scenes, the simple fact of the matter is that not everyone will be in the same fight, unless it is a big badass big-boss type fight. Sometimes people will have to sit out a fight because having an at least a semi-realistic setting means not everyone in the same squadron will be on duty at the same time. And sometimes people will just have to sit out a fight because the threat might be too small to throw a whole squadron at it. (Yes, we don't have enough players for a whole squadron, but I have to account for the possibility of the group potentially growing to that size.)<br/><br/>Having PCs spread through different squadrons actually gives me an opportunity to mix and match things up, give everyone a chance to be in the cockpit for a crucial scene, and not worry too much why half the bases recon planes would be in the air at the same time (to give just one example).<br/><br/>So yes, I am keeping things in mind.
