Title: BUGFIX: small but extremely annoying bug in SM3-06A
Post by: Grizzly on May 05, 2007, 06:48:06 am

in SM3-06A, (where you have to hammer the anvil) Gamma wing is supposed to gaurd alpha, but gaurds beta, leaving the bombers without any fighter cover.

I have fixed this.

You can order Gamma wing to guard Alpha if you want.

How?
Communications, Wing Gamma, Gamma1, Cover me
Communications, Wing Gamma, Gamma2, Protect Alpha2
Communications, Wing Gamma, Gamma3, Protect Alpha3
Communications, Wing Gamma, Gamma4, Protect Alpha4

It's a little taxing on the sanity.  (Not to mention it doesn't work well.)

Is there a way to tell a whole wing to protect another wing?  (Besides in FRED, I mean.)

Hotkeys, my friend. Hotkeys.

Do these hotkeys  alllow wings to protect other wings?  Or just a shortcut to do what I outlined above?  I would really like every ship in one wing to cover every ship in the other wing, and not have them individually assigned.

Well, this is a good point -- the comm menu won't let you do that.  I'll fix it.
