What does the Mission Features team do [and not do]?

Well, Mission Features team, we take features made by other teams and we make missions that use them. We definitely also make the mission system itself, but often the confusion comes in: why haven't you made this mission yet? And the reason is often, well, we don't actually make the features that are the backbone of what the mission could even be.

Yeah, we're like the bow at the end of the present.

So when gameplay teams create salvaging, then you go and you make missions that use salvaging. When they create mining, you go make missions that do mining.
