I don't know if this has been covered, but is there a way to activate jumps in a lca and below craft. I can make a fighter jump using timed events. If you can add a quantum drive to a fighter. Why can't I activate it normal cap ship function.

u should be able to just add the q drive system to a fighter def and see if it works that way.

Have already had the Quantum drive code in file. Will only work if jump action is defined in mission script.
(pressing Q does nothing.) Must be a workaround. However thank you for the reply. No one likes what I type.

Well, I just don't have any idea. You could just classify it as a capital ship.

Yea, but as far as I understood, only fighter/LAC class craft could land in carriers. If I'm wrong, just ignore me.

I'm not sure about that. I"m pretty sure they can launch, though.

I never said to not try it, I just pointed out what, to me at least, seemed to be an obvious issue with that solution.

Oh really? He is wrong? What else besides fighters and LCAs can land on carriers?
Please enlighten me on the subject!

At least it should not be possible with stock ships, since none of the stock capitals fits into any of the stock hangars.
The big question is whether the game recognizes the capship's attempt to lang properly, which should be difficult, if not impossible since it has no gear for landing.[;)]

Yes, cap ships can dock and un-dock, just like a fighter.. The Launch and recovery subsystems have a bit-mask code (much like the target type in the weapons def) that tell the engine just how large a ship that system can take... I think I've got the sub-structure at home, I'll give it a peek tonite and see if I can find it.
