I dont know if its a bug or if it was set this way, but after I read that the Ship limit was whatever you could get in with under 2100 submodles I wanted to see how far towards that I could go an still keep good fram rates. Unfortunatly 100 ships is all fred will save anything over 100 disappears when you save and wont be in the mission. I tried to make the extra ships into a wing and see if that would apear and then it errored when I saved. I cant open the mission anymore in fred, but oddly enough it loads in FS with the extra wing that killed fred. I would like to know if this is a bug or a limit set in Fred open. I am running the 12/08 build and have tried it on the newest but the results are the same.

The Inferno Build let you have more ships, 135 max I believe, but you will loose the Multiplayer Lan/Internet support.

It isn't strange that the Limits and errors are mostly set or given at FRED2, when you have a question like that, I suggest you use notepad or an text editor program...., and force an entry that FRED2 would kill or not allow because of "xxxxx not allowed, because special status.......".

I have see this a lot of times, when I get a error like that I just force it using notepad, or either I do most of the mission in a text based file....it prevents error from the FRED2, but it will not prevent errors from you, something that FRED2 does somewhat.........

It may not be recommended, but if you want to check if FRED2 is the problem, then do that.......

Thanks, I compared the file to working mission files and found that it left off the IFF: IFF1 thing right before subsystems on every single ship in the mission. Still dosent explain why it would leave off that little bit of code but at least now I know how to force the mission to load again.
