You are a god.
I assume that means that it works? I suppose that is why I didn't get more VA script from you today either, right?

I'm still a little worried about what effects that might have if used in multiplayer.
Well, I am not changing anything that deals with multiplayer, or the implementation of support ships, just the way that the support ship code regulates the counts. That is, the way that a support ship is requested has not changed. That being said, I have posted the patch for the newest build on internal for code review, before it gets committed to trunk.
Okay, new build for you three people that downloaded the last one. Same as last time, FRED and FSO with their .pdbs can be downloaded from:

The changes are mostly mostly code style changes, but there is a possibility that I did break something.
