Starting in the middle of a waypoint path
Ok I was just wondering if there is anyway to tell a ship to start in the middle of a waypoint path (say at waypoint 4)

The reason i want to do this cause I want several ships to be able to use the same path

obviusly I can simly make several paths but I was wondering if there was an easier way (Its for a group of corvettes patrolling a station)

Re: Starting in the middle of a waypoint path
Well if there aren't too many a quick work around would be to use waypoints once for those not starting at the first waypoint.  Then when they reach the last waypoint have then just do waypoints.  Using your example and lets say 5 waypoints in the path the initial orders for the corvette would be waypoints once waypoint 4.  Event 1 would be waypoints done (waypoint 4),  clear goals, add goal wapypoint once waypont 5.  Event 2 would be waypoint done (waypoint 5), clear goals, add goal waypoint path.  There may be an easier way but that's the best I can come up with off the top of my head.

Thx but something tells me that would be a bit more worked, anyway I simply made one waypoint path for each corvette but thanks for the help anyway
