yea, that should be possible. actually i can guarantee you will be able to do that with the next version of the patch project. we had the matter with automated replaceweapons...so, i have designed the replaceweapons with some conditions under which it 'fires'. you just need to create a placeholder vessel as start units that fires instantly and you can have as many starting units as you like, even randomly choosen ones. (that all will work quite well in multiplayer too)

i wish they would just focus on completling their current mod...

they only have a few tasks left and about 9/10 of them can be bashed out easy enough...

yes, thats what we do. we concentrate on fleet operations development. that doesn't mean that development on the patch project is stopped as all improvements and bug fixes derive from the fleet operations "postloader" anyway but means that the next release presumably won't be public before fleetops v3 final.
