I just love setting "Rotate Around Object" on something and then trying to move it on the Y axis. You move uber long distances! :D

You wanna mess up a mission really REALLY bad?

Move some of your events up and down the list, and then look how all hell breaks loose.

Snail. What you just described is the bane of my Fredding process.
 
 
 
I also like the loadout editor and campaign initial loadout editors habit of forgetting everything I've ticked.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

As a bit of an aside... for any new fredder:

1- Begin with blank mission
2- Select any craft type and place a model on the grid
3- Select this placed craft and edit its name by increasing the default numeral by one
4- Place a second model of this craft on the grid
5- LOL

You know instead of posting about this stuff how about posting the steps to reproduce in a Mantis report so they can get fixed?

Well a couple of these aren't a bug. But yeah, bugs should be in Mantis.

You shouldn't be renaming events unless you really need to. :)

This is relevant to the topic, how, exactly?

NOTE: This was a reply to a post of Dilmah's that he deleted. No offence to TopAce intended.

They aren't bugs! They're Fun Things To Do In FRED That May or May Not Cause You To Lose Unsaved Progress(tm)!

One more:

1) Highlight a ship and a waypoint at the same time.
2) Press Shift+S
3) Change the ship name
4) Exit the Ships Editor
5) Attempt to do anything about what happens next

:D
