Mission Generation in a Star Trek MMORPG +

I've taken the liberty of adding a few more ideas for mission types to the excellent set initially suggested by Polt, and then reorganizing and color-coding the various missions by department.

(Note: In this list I'm sort of assuming that in space, you are your ship, while for ground and hub missions you'll play as an avatar. If that turns out not to be the case, then some of the "away missions" might also be available in space.)
