Now that I've dug around some, it looks like there's no such SEXP as as what I suggested

What about jettison-cargo-delay?

[Backslash]

There's an interesting idea!  For the horizontal launch you'd probably need to modify the fighters to have a special docking point on the side, but for the vertical launch... that sounds feasible right away!  Get right on that!

Hmm... Does anything determines the jettison speed of the cargo?  Density?

[NGTM-1R]

Cargo gets dumped by the ship moving away from the cargo in FS, unfortunately.

[Goober5000]

Get right on that!

Hey, you're the one who was asking.  You get on that.

Hmm... Does anything determines the jettison speed of the cargo?  Density?

Mass and distance.  I think it's the same whack as when you have a freighter destroyed and its cargo shoved away.

Right,but a jettinson-cargo-delay with an Argo looks quite strange!

That would be quite weird, I'll post ome other crazy missions i'vde done soon enough. thrn you can see how i make use of the new schmancy sexps - avast ye mangy currs........

Like that mission with the probe in Epsilon Eridani?
That was cool.

I love using the fade-out sexp's in conjunction with a ship explosion. You know that something big just went boom.

I'll illustrate with a quick cutscene mission.

Seems that everyone here has different styles...
Cutscenes with FRED offer many interesting things...
