Is there any way to make it where you start X amount of minutes into a mission? I know the FRED1 had this option but i cant find it anywhere in FRED2.

Minutes is kind of stretching it... you lose so much control over the mission if you wait that long. Usually you only need 10 seconds or so to get things going. Try editing your ship placement, and using set-subsys-random to simulate battle damage.

Mantis that.

I've virtually rewritten that entire dialogue so I might as well fiddle with the only feature on there I haven't touched yet.
