Title: escort list
Post by: Viper01 on February 08, 2007, 04:10:08 pm

How do you make an escort list in FRED1? I need it in a mission of mine. Also, what is the maximum amount of ships you can add to an escort list? I have six cruisers and a destroyer to protect, and four cruisers and a destroyer that attacks the ships you must escort. It would be nice to have all ships on the list, but I'm guessing that won't happen.

I always thought the max was four or five

Don't know about FS1 but FS2 doesn't have a limit of escort ships but the max that will show on the list at one time is 3.

As usual, when I can't find something, it is right under my nose. :lol: I managed to create an escort list. Also, for anyone who is interested, the max amount of ships that will appear on an escort list in FS1 is three. Thanks everyone!

I would use FSO, but I'm just too lazy :o  and busy to download it.

I thought that the default was still 3 escort ships. Its the hud_gauges (included in the MVPs) that let you have 5 or however many escort ships you want.
