*In its current form, it is useless and outdated. Firstly, if this is meant to be for minor SCP additions for FRED, the title should reflect that. Drawing a line between two icons in the briefing is also a minor FRED feature, yet I suspect this isn't the page that should deal with it. Secondly, define ''minor''. My definition of ''minor'' probably conflicts with someone else's. Consequently, the feature that I label as ''minor'' may be a substantial, groundbreaking, mind-numbing new addition to someone else. The default beam-free-all in the Missions Spec Editor, in my definition, is minor because it quite simply saves some time for the FREDder. But what about being able to change the name of default player wings? That's a different kind of feature, and I'm not sure I'd call minor, because it's noticeable as soon as you enter the ship loadout screen or glimpse at the wingmen window. - [[User:TopAce|TopAce]] 09:21, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
