Just change the transport's IFF to Friendly after it's disabled.  Or turret-lock-all on the docking ship.

It takes more time than simply making the ship invulnerable and the effect is the same. Needless to say that making an additional event with the IFF change SEXP would make some confusion. I do not know what kind of confusion, nothing is predictable in FreeSpace missions.

:wtf:

Making the ship invulnerable makes even less sense.  The only thing dumber than having a docker firing on its dockee is the dockee being invulnerable at the same time.

All three options take the same amount of time, since all three use a single sexp..

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet...

...but misnaming ships. And I don't just mean bad names, but I mean missions involving the escort of the GTD Orion 23 or GTC Leviathan 12.

Or when people name a Leviathan the GTC Piranha. That's just stupid.

Not that anyone does it.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.

Agreed, and I for one am not going to stand for it.  It's Piranha, and anyone who misspells it in the future will have a whole horde of the little fish dumped on them so they won't forget next time. ;)

A note on misspellings: I think misspelling the word 'Shivan' to 'Sheevan' is quite forgiveable. Simulated Speech can only correctly pronounce it if it is written with double E instead of a single I.

The way SP pronounces Vasudan is also strange, I haven't tried to find a spelling which pronounces Vasudan correctly.

Well, considering how every single reference on the web/canon/user-made campaign spells it "Shivan", SP shouldn't have any say in it.

But, whatever.

Biggest peeve: Absence of directives. Especially "Destroy " directives. Gets annoying.

Doesn't clicking the Get Additional Voices button take you to a webpage with the info on it?
