If a support ship is already in game then it should be used instead of warping in a new one. I just tested that in a simple mission with a support ship in place and that's exactly what happens. So there has to be a little more to it than just placing the support ship in the mission. |

Apparently the hardcoded limit is 1, code/ship/ship.cpp:13200: #define MAX_SUPPORT_SHIPS_PER_TEAM 1 Might be possile to bump this and/or softcode it to have as many as you want, as the function, as first glance, does support the use of more. |

The problem occurs when you are using the ship class in a non support role. Try putting 2 in a mission. If it's not legal in game then FRED should catch it or it should crash a bit more gracefully. You have to alt-ctrl-del and end-task doesn't even work you have to stop the process. |

I fixed the immediate crash. The game simply uses the first support ship now. It might be nice to softcode the number of support ships you can use though. The code definitely does appear to support it in this function at least. |
