I already said I have no problems with the missions.

I don't have problems with the missions list.
Oh wait, nevermind. You can do two separate scenarios to dock with the mothership (at the same time) and combine the scenarios at the end. Please delete this post and the two posts above this one. I'm being stupid again.
You said you wanted the Cosmos (now changed to James Cook) because it had multiple docking ports. So we would send up multiple XR2s to dock with the James Cook. (OFMM-21 and 22)
I thought we needed to dock at the same time, sorry.
How will we make sure the Cook is in the correct plane before taking off for Mars?
It doesn't matter. An Off-Plane intercept is fine for Mars. It's not like Earth - ISS where plane matters. The amount of dV required for an off-plane intercept is very, very minor at those distances.
Actually, I don't think it's about the plane; I think it's more about the eject orientation and LAN.
And we have a backroom trajectory office where Arrowstar has already started working on things like this. I am confused though, if it's not about plane why did you ask specifically about plane in the first place?

May I make a motion to propose the Deepstar as our planet hopping vessel? IMHO, it looks a bit more believable than the Cook.
This was briefly discussed in the mission discussion thread. Deepstar has too much dV. it's not even a challenge when you can do 7 laps of the oort cloud without refueling and it's why I proposed Cosmos but the crew wanted the James Cook so thats what it was changed to.
If you want to propose this change then feel free to discuss it on the mission discussions thread - I'm not flying so will set up the scenarios that people want.
After Christmas. Probably 27th December.
