How many times this happen to you? Your on one custom campain mission, and when you enter the mission, theres 25 fighter wings and 3 corvettes ready to smash you to pieces. I would like if we could spawn a ship out of subspace any time we would like, and we can command it like a fighter. (Or if it is a fighter) And I would like it to be a infinite use thing. (Yes I know we can spawn volition pirate ship already with the cheat, arrrrwalktheplank, but I want a REAL ship like one the can use beam cannons and be able to take our commands. (There is a poll)
Please post.

1) This belongs more in modding. We already have something like that either implemented or being worked on (never really paid it much attention it;s nice bit of whimsy but I see no practical purpose to it).

2) I voted NO cause I'm that damn good.

3) This is something I expect from Takashi, please don't vie for status as noob of the year...

i can make a missle that spawns ships, which in turn spawn missles, if thats what you want.

[Photoncody]

That exactly what I want.

I like pancakes.

Also, ship-create.

I don't know WHY anyone would want to spawn an asteroid, but meh.

I like pancakes.

->Also, ship-create.<-

It's a SEXP.

$50 Tyrant says something childish and immature about that acronym.

Special EXPression - used in FreeSpace to control mission structures and are also the main tools used when creating new missions with FRED (freespace editor).

Wow...

I didn't notice the option for pancakes before (I thought Goob was just being Goob! - He hates us all you know) 

Perhaps linking him to that thread that showed the command in action (Hercs? filled the sky) would help get him on the right track...

That thread is the source of the quote in my sig, so it was easy to find.

[Col. Fishguts]

Exactly what I was thinking. The shoal of Hercs is a stunning view.

Special Expression?

I thought it was "Symbollic Expression"

Edit: That "bug" is awesome!

[Nuke]

you cant spawn ships out of the thin air, theres no air in space, duh

[Gregster2k]

A gun that is tied to ship-create would be more fun.

[Goober5000]

That's why it's thin.

This file explains how to use SEXPs, or symbolic expressions, to program complex behavior into your missions. (It's pronounced "sex pee". Stop snickering!)

And yeah it's not really a bug as I can still do it now that the code is working. It's just a little harder.
