Mission/Campaign editor Like Fred with drag/drop placement of ships and objects as well as simple expression objective/gameflow creation.

That looks awesome for mission editing don't know how feasible it would be using Python as that is our scripting language.

Enjoy the Choice

Basically we need to be able to move the camera in 3d around a starsystem and setup locations like navpoints spawn points etc. and be able to create rich event handling code using simple point/click and minimal text editing (variable values etc.)

Moving things around in 3d means using the the engine(or parts of it) stile problem there any change in the engine state variable would probably need a reload of the engine (Why the setup app is external)ATM but there may be a way.Lots of work code wise though for viewing an external call to the VS engine with a special test mission not as friendly to non tech types.

Enjoy the Choice

Ogre has builtin support for a gui api. It has several internal apis to choose from.so the mission editor should be written using the vegastrike engine coupled with an ogre gui.
