  1. Thanks for the help Eclipse,Tyrn and MIKE113. Finally decided to send my AE into FK1 with scorpion as my copilot and did the escort myself with CC on autopilot to Majoris. Worked OK. Still find that the defend order does not work in keeping fighters from attacking hostile starbases miles away from the defend target?
  2. I am in control (partially) of a Firestorm supercarrier and playing the campaign as Terran Military. My first mission is to guard a terran diplomat transport from earth to Alpha Majora. My first idea was to send three fighters off to defend the diplomat, then follow with the CC. However around Arima the three fighters id then, to their destruction, chase down some hostile target. I have to tell them to jump onto the next jump point and then hope the diplomat makes it there. Or should I be playing this mission in first person mode and use my dogfighting skills. Also if a fighter is given defend orders, will it then follow a target through as many jumps as its fuel lasts. I seem to have to continually have to reaquire the target manually. Else I wait, sometimes without success for the fighter to reaquire the target. Please help this newbie.
  3. Wow I feel like I'm at flight academy. Have owned this game for a couple of weeks and still in training mode. Can't wait to get my commission. I am having difficulty setting up waypoints accurately for a flight path in tacops. The path I want to plot is 3 waypoints around the planet then to the vicinity of a wormhole and back again. Near the planet, the waypoints posion is easy to set, and the waypoint marker seems to anchor against grid points ok, however when i try setting up waypoint 4 near the wormhole, regardless of how much home/end pageup/pagedown left/right/up/down arrow i do I cant control the precise location of its position. It seems that I can only set its XY position, and not Z.
