Placing Stations/Ships on a Team Not Derelicts

posted on June 15th, 2009, 5:53 pm

Hi everyone,  (I tried to search for a similar topic but....)

I have pretty good experience with laying derelicts and making my maps but whenever I put down a station and assign it to lets say team 1 (Fully manned and operational) it disappears when I start the game. The derelicts work but not things assigned to normal teams. Is there any way to get these to appear where I want them from the beginning? (Without modifying the starting units in the game files)

Thanks for any help!

As far as I know a ship or station can't be under control of a player at the start of instant action without it vanishing. It has to be controlled by a non-player slot in order to appear. I have a feeling there is a way around this though... I just don't know how sadly

The way around it is to have the player start with the station, which has the problem of it being in the base.

Ah that is what I thought... Thanks tho!
