Title: Ship selection for other wings.
Post by: Retsof on January 25, 2008, 07:38:15 pm

This is a potentally noobish question, but how do you specify which wings you can control in the selection screen.  I say this because you are part of Gamma, and Epsilon is with you, but Alpha and Beta are from a differrent ship, thus you cannot arm Alpha and Beta, but you can arm Epsilon.  Problem is, Alpha and Beta are in the screen, while Epsilon isn't.  Any help would be appreciated.

you can never pick epsilon's loadout. as for beta, lock them.

Go into the mission specs editor and set the custom wing names.  Replace Alpha and Beta with Gamma and Epsilon.  Put something else where Epsilon was.

That would be correct for Retail.

Erm... which editor do I use to lock wings?  I don't see any checkboxes or anything in the wings or the mission specs editors.
