Wars: System defense/system raid missions given to player

[An Ning]

WARS ARE BORING!
Sure you get to fight, but  they're like the main storyline of Skyrim: it doesn't feel like there's actually anything happening until you make it happen yourself -and anything you ACTUALLY do feels like it doesn't actually matter.

I had an idea that I thought might spice up wars a bit:

 

If you discover two sides fighting, and assist one against the other (or are allied with a faction that goes to war against another), that faction's stations may give mission requests for said war.

ex:
1)  Distract enemy forces:
"We need the enemy reinforcement flotillas distracted so we can launch a surprise attack. Go to sector X, Y, and engage the defensive unite there. Destroy them, and the first X waves of reinforcements they call. That should divert enough reinforcements for us to make a successful strike"

2) Soften Sector defenses:
"In X minutes, we will be launching a raid at sector X, Y. We want you to go in ahead of us and take out as many enemy ships as you can. A bounty will be paid for each craft you destroy before our arrival.

4) Station raid:
"We will launch a raid into sector X,Y in X minutes. Get to the sector ahead of us and engage system defenses. When our forces arrive, you are to divert and destroy X station in the sector."

3) Merchant Fleet Raid:
"A convoy of well-guarded enemy freighters is heading to X, Y sector. They are carrying materials for the production of military ships and weapons. We want the freighters destroyed."

4) Hit economy:
"We want to remove our opponent's ability to purchase weapons and pay for crews. Destroy merchant and mining ships operating in the following sectors: X1Y1, X2Y2, X3Y3, X4Y4."

5) Scout enemy sectors:
"We need you to gather information in the following enemy sectors: X1Y1, X2Y2, X3Y3, X4Y4. Bring a fast ship, we expect they will have some tough defenses present"

6) Escort convoy:
"We have a convoy of important war material that must reach sector X,Y safely. Meet the convoy at these coordinates and travel with it to ensure its arrival. A fee will be deducted for each ship in the convoy that is lost"

7)  Destroy gathering forces:
"Our opponents are gathering a fleet to launch a surprise strike at our capital sector. Go to sector X, Y and destroy X ships to disrupt their plans"

8 ) Defend system from incoming raid
"An enemy scout unit briefly entered the system at coordinates X, Y. We anticipate a strike force arriving there soon. We will offer you X amount to go there and assist in the sector's defense."

9 ) Attend Treaty:
"After our successes in the fight, our opponents are finally suing for peace. They are offering to include you in the return to peaceful terms if you attend the treaty signing. This is entirely optional and not a paid request. You are welcome to attend, but keep your gun crews awake."
