Don't be praising me till you know it works

It works well, actually; the cap ships cruise along in parallel, attacking each other as they head for the hidden vessels far, far away.  That naming trick with -Á was spot-on.  The only issue I was left dealing with is that annoying little twitchy shadow on the radar that lets you know there's really hidden ships somewhere far up ahead.  That was resolved by inserting a $Stealth flag into the ships.tbl entry (ala GTF Pegasus) for the cap ships' true targets (both of which are set to "unknown" AI).

Actually assuming that you're working on SCP you should probably remove that and just use the ship-stealthy SEXP instead

No sense in hacking your tables for something achievable in FRED.

I'm a FREDder! We're not supposed to get praise. Stop this nonsense at once.

All I expect is a simple thank you.

Alright, alright, you've broken my religious ways.  I shall abstain from worship....until such time as I glean the secrets of modeling and turreting from your FAQ, haha.  In all seriousness, thanks for the help.  Now that I know about the SCP, I have high ambitions for becoming proficient at ship-making and mission design.  Looooong way to go to get there...especially given the uncounted thousands of creativity-squelching hours that pharmacy school entails...but it's great to have so many knowledgeable souls gathered in one place to learn with.

Well good FREDders are gods...
