Tacops waypoint button disabled in fp mode

[Elric_Sloan]

Okay, this was posted in the Gone Gold Forum and I do not know the answer to it! Any help?

Is there anyway at all to assign new waypoint orders when your not in the CC? Specifically, I took a marine detachment down to a planet to attack an enemy base. I was there first with a couple escorts to scout it out and decide where to attack. (Mostly just for kicks ), however once I decided what to do, I went to the tacops screen, but the waypoint button was red and I couldn't use it. The result was, I had a shuttle full of marines that was to be the main force, but try and I might I couldn't get them to land. I could get the shuttle to fly nearby, but there was no option I could find to deploy the troops, and I couldn't get to the waypoint menu to give the craft orders to drop the troops. So, point being... if I can't access the waypoints, how do I tell my shuttle to drop troops?

I checked the code last night. Its disabled. But I can't remember why I disabled it. I must have had a reason for disabling it. Once I figure that out, I will re-enable it. It probably has something to do with the fact that back when it used to work, there was only one single career, the Commander. With the added careers, the WAYPOINT and other buttons are not valid and would cause problems.

....or something like that. But, until I find out why I disabled it, its going to stay disabled. I will however enable it this weekend and go through my changelogs to see why I disabled it. And if its a career thing, I'll just re-enable it for the Career commander.
