Okay, we've been told that the mission generator has been removed. But ... isn't a mission what defines a squad? So with no missions, how are squads set up?
Or are all missions generated by players now (instead of automatic)? Is there kinda like a "black board" where people can advertise missions?

It's better than that actually.
If you're a squad leader, you can do a search for any certification you desire. All players that have their LFG (looking for group) flag set will be available as a potential result in that search. So...squad leaders can do a quick search for all (for example) dropship pilots and select from a list to give a /tell to.

If you're a player, you can advertise all your certs, or only the ones that you REALLY want someone to utilize you for. In otherwords, if I have Bolt Driver and Combat Engineering, I may advertise one cert one day, and the other on the next day, depending on whether I want to play as a Sniper that day or as a Defensive Combat Engineer.

You see?

Power on both sides of the equation, so finding groups and fitting in should be pretty easy.
