I know this has nothing to do with Fleet Ops, but how do you set player starting positions? I tried to make a map, but when I tested it, the started positions werent where they were supposed to be, and 2 of my ships were in the enemy's base!

you will have to place a "pin" by using alt+leftklick. Then doubleclick on that pin and name it:
Camera_1
(Camera_2 forstart position 2 and so on..)
you should make sure the pins are not connected to gether (if this happens you will know what i mean :-) )

after this you should go to the settings tab (presing ctrl + r) adn set all unneeded players to empty (for a 4 player map, you should set player 5-8 to empty)

I did that. Im pretty sure the pins werent connected. I didnt set all unneeded players empty. Maybe that caused the problem?

Edit: Okay, got it to work now. One more question. When I placed a direlict ship somewhere on the map, it doesnt show up when I play the map. Why?

you will have to use one of the uneeded players, set him to ai controll and place the vessels for his team (use shift + up / down to change teams)

that might help, i made a 4 quandrants map with wormholes 2 the middle, all it needs is start points and lights.
