Code request: Count-kill-as
Just a little request to the coders if they're looking for things to do:

Is it possible to have a code for ship.tbl entries which tell the game to count kills of that class as a different ship?

So for example if you had an "GTF Apollo" entry and an "GTF Apollo#Pirate" entry in a campaign, the code would count any Apollo#Pirate that was killed by the player as an Apollo and increment that kill count instead of displaying a kill count for Apollo#pirate.

Thanks

Re: Code request: Count-kill-as
That's amazing. I was about to propose this! :)

The idea is a very good one, IMO, because it allows FREDders to handle ace pilots and such: thanks to this SEXP, it would be possible to create "anonymous" entries for spacecraft used by ace pilots. Those entries would have altered skills to represent the skills of ace pilots...

Ha!

By the way, the feature you're requesting has been in the code since FS1.

Easiest feature request code-in ever then! *ROFL*

*bangs own head against wall*

Shall check FSWiki in that case. Cheers.
