Just thinking -  what exactly does the 'support' ship tag mean - anything other than it rearms other fighters?

My idea would be to to create a big-ship with the support tag.  when you call it in, you can dock with its' fighterbay (based on certain modelling constraints - it would have to be transport / cruiser size, and you'd have to fly towards it.

Then you could end the mission by jumping out the cruiser - if you could set it so both your ship and the bigship jump out simultaneously.

Just an idea - let me hear what you think.

That's something I wanted to try... to dock a ship to me, and have it warp out, would I go with it? lol... I'll try that soon

Thats kind of a neat idea, but there's some problems. FS2 only supports one support ship per race, so if you have this you can't have the normal support ship too. Docking with a large cap might be tricky, but it CAN be done, i've seen it. All you have to do is put the repair/rearm tag on whatever you want the repair ship to be, and take it off of its counterpart.

err.... yeah...

Anyway, I'm trying this thing now. Results at 10, or whenever I do it... lol

Bad news...  

When you try it in Fred, it greys-out the sexp and when you manually enter it, and try to save, it says the ship is not allowed to have that order, and Fred2 crashes. lol

I remember in freespace 1 when we captured that Dragon class fighter, the Centaur#Charon had a "freighter" flag. I think some of how things dock to each other is in the naming of the dockpoints.
