Would multiple side-missions at once be possible?
It would be sweet to be able to sign on to 2 or 3 side missions that are near each other, so I can (if all goes well and I don't die) do more things before having to return to base.

I dunno what the feasibility is... an older DUWS map allowed it but DUWS-R doesn't. Maybe there were stability issues, I don't know. An alternative would be a way to take on new missions while on the field. On that topic, maybe there should be a way to abort a mission, too...

@capitalthree - Multiple side missions at once are already possible, you just have to wait about 10 minutes before you're able to activate the next one. This time limit is added for prevention of spamming missions, which can cause stability issues - like in older versions of DUWS.

I'll think about reducing the time limit by 50%, so you don't have to wait too long to take on the next. Activating missions while in field is something that probably won't happen, but you can activate missions in FOB's aswell - they are in the field, somehow. Adding in a build in abortion option for missions is something I can't promise, maybe I'll take a look at it - but no guarantee.

Oh, so I just need to wait, that's not too bad. And I should probably make more FOBs.

Maybe cutting the time to 2.30 is ok? then you can go to the next mission if 1st is successful

@Metro/God Tier Monopoly Player - I'd say the five minute timer is fair and balanced enough. If I'd cut the timer again, it is very likely that I will soon be asked to remove it completely - which won't happen. The idea behind this is that you just can not spam missions the whole time, like in older versions. Caused alot of stability issues back in the days. Plus the timer gives a certain immersion to it.

Regards
