Hi all.
I'm making a mission, and I'm pretty far along with it too, when I noticed towards the end of it that the players ultimate goal, to secure the transfer of civilians from a Hippocrates medical frigate to an Argo transport, cannot be completed because the Hippocrates has no docking points.
So, are there any modders who have added docking points to the Hippocrates? Is there a way I could simulate docking behavior with sexp usage? I really like the design and objective of this mission and would like to keep the Hippocrates in as the main objective.

The Hippocrates does have a docking point named blahblah; it shows up in FRED too.

Ah, sorry, I thought that was a placeholder or something.
Well, in that case, I am trying to have a GTT Argo transport dock with my GTM Hippocrates. The Argo receives the goal as can be determined by targeting it and seeing its current order display as "Dock with Hippocrates". However, the Argo does not attempt to dock with the Hippocrates, and instead travels away from it for seemingly an infinite amount of time. Additionally, it is doing this while it has no other goals.

Yeah that's something related to the Argo, it's messed up. You could try to fake the docking by using normal Waypoint once the Hippo is in position.

Ah shucks. I will get to it with waypoints then. Thank you Nightmare

You can also chain SexP to change cargo of both ships / swap cargo to enhance the immersion 👍
