Therefore it would be much easier to get someone already well versed in the mission director to do it for me, if they are willing.
These missions will be triggered using MD Control (thanks h2o!.
Some info is as follows:
Some missions are similar to the vanilla
Most mission can use the vanilla libraries or at least a modified to be done.
Most missions have 2 fleets spawned, using the Opponent Balancing System. A friendly one and an enemy one.
Adjustments to the OBS to allow for spawning of other ships if not possible may be necessary, for example spawning of race M8s, M7s etc. for Pirates.
So.
Any help anyone?
It doesn't have to be that major a commitment. You can do a few occasionally. Please.

Please excuse the repeated use of Destory, can't be bothered to change it now.
As you can see, lots of missions. These can however be condensed down into:
Transport Goods Vanilla mission, altered to be Dock at military outpost for briefing etc.
Build Station Vanilla mission, altered to be Dock at military outpost for briefing etc.
Collect Fighter Craft Basic vanilla Go get my ship, but would include you having to pick it up in a TM
Scout sector Effectively a patrol, but without attacking. Stay in the sector, try to find as much as possible, wait for time limit.
Various patrols Based upon escorting capitals, M6/M8 groups etc.
Various attack factory/ship Altered vanilla
Sector wipe attacks Effectively a 1 sector patrol of an enemy sector.
Most of these are butchered Vanilla missions, at least 1 is quite unique, but most will require 2 fleets to be spawned using OBS, plus many an individual mission object ship which will created seperately as a target/protect target. We may also need to reconfig. the OBS to run off something other than fight rank, possibly the plugin's military rank. Or just make it permanently high, you're not seen as an individual by the attackers but as a member of a race.
In general I would suggest for anyone who takes up the idea:
Making sure you can commit enough time to eventually get the basics done, but don't worry if it'll take months. I don't care if you only do a bit every now and then.
Reading about the plugin.
Pestering me for notes.
Getting all that horrible OBS stuff out of the way before looking at the missions themselves.
Shouting at me if I ask any questions, and getting on with it ignoring my distractions.
So I'm just hoping this gets noticed.
