A bit of help in a realm i've never been in before.

I want to know how to add more points for the strike craft to come out. Im using the public shipyard's Pirate Enclave base (already made the tacticstype quite well). Let me tell you something, lol. Launching 16 squadrons of raptor GB's 1 by 1 is VERY slow. How would I add more points for them to come out?

You need to add more docking points. In Lightwave, you make those by creating a 2-point polygon. So you create a vertex (launch point origin) then a second point, outside of the ship, then press P by default, with both selected, to create a 2-point polygon.

from the documentation:

Quote
Two-point polygons must be denoted, showing dock entry and exit paths for the small ships. The first point must be inside the hanger and the other must be a bit from the hull at the appropriate distance. The docking small ships will travel along this path.
ā€œnā€ denotes which docking bay door will open when someone wants to dock along a path. During docking, the above stated #dock animn .... # animation will play.
Multiple paths can be given to a single docking bay door, enabling several ships to dock at once through large doors.

Sounds complicated... Couldn't I just copy and paste the docking points already there?

Bah, Or I could reduce the numbers of squadrons since it looks stupid on the UI on anyways...thx
