Ship arrives after it's already departed
So I'm working on putting together my first mission, and I've run into a bit of a snag I'm not sure how to solve.

See, what I want to do is have a ship warp out, then after a certain amount of time, warp back in. Essentially a departure, followed by an arrival.

Is there any way to do this?
In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed.

I know this happens in the 2nd mission of Wings of Dawn.

You'll need two ships. Name them GVD NAME#WHATEVER and GVD NAME#WHATEVER2. Anything after the # will not be shown to the player, so it will seem like they have the same name. Then set ship2's arrival cue to delayed after ship1 departs.

To add to that, using the copy-ship-damage sexp (or something like that) can copy a ship's damage (duh!) so it looks like it didn't magically repair itself in 2 minutes.

So you don't like reading the wiki, eh ?  :p

No, I'm just... completely and utterly blind. I did NOT see that.

Anyway, thanks a bunch guys, I will give it a shot and post the results up when the mission is finally playable.
