Create a waypoint in the jumpnode.  Have the ship go to the waypoint (waypoints-once).  Have the departure cue for the ship set to are-waypoints-done-delay.

Uh, I think that it goes like this . . .
You have to write in your own ships table using Notepad, in the tech-room description unit.
Just . . . delete the FS2 version and re-write what you what the tech-room description to say. This will only work in your mod remember!

Not a table. A TBM. That way you only replace the bits you need to replace.

TBM = A modular table. It needs to have a specific file name type, which in this case would be something like Flight-shp.tbm. Place the TBM in your freespace2/data/tables folder. (Replace 'Flight' with your own filename.) See here (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Modular_Tables) for more info on modular tables.

And you need to remember to have the "in tech database" flag in your ship's table entry.
