Uhh, Photon, don't listen to takashi. You can't spawn a fully working ship from a missile. Notice how you've never gotten a response from him? He never made one. It's just not possible to do something like that.

OK, you know where the turrets section is, right?

[Photoncody]

Not really. I am a very big n00b when it comes to modding. 
can give me link?

I meant in the tables.

[Photoncody]

Sorry for the long-waited respond! Hey Cobra, can you help me with the turrets section? I've put the ships there and they still didn't fire. I put the entry (more like edit) in the tables but no luck. Can you help?

[takashi]

be patient. triple spawning with missles behaving like ships requires a new build.

[Turey]

be patient. triple spawning with missles behaving like ships requires a new build.

Who's going to write the code for this? You?

[TrashMan]

The FRED2 help is wrong about that.  Just like IMDB was wrong about Stephen Baldwin voicing Snipes.

Sexps were used in LISP before they were used in FreeSpace.  In fact, FreeSpace sexps are based on LISP:

Maby FRED SEXP's and LISP sexp's aren't the same, so they are not pronounced the same.

Tell me what I'm doing wrong, Cobra.

Maby FRED SEXP's and LISP sexp's aren't the same, so they are not pronounced the same.
REagardles, official documentation sez sex pee

First of all, FRED sexps and LISP sexps are the same.  In fact, practically all of the non-game-specific sexps come directly from LISP.

Second of all, just because something is official doesn't mean it's correct.  The IMDB example should have clued you in to that fact.  If you need a second example, the Official FS1 Strategy Guide says that the SD Tantalus is a Cain-class cruiser.

Third of all, the documentation was written by Peter Drake, who is a writer, not a coder.  Thus it is quite probably that he may have been ignorant of the word's origin.

Try this, there's a slight difference; see if it changes anything (copy it over):
