Random Missions with fighting Capship

Wed Nov 29, 2006 7:33 am by TaknTar

I want to add random missions with capships and have searched a while.
So its no problem to a capships for random missions, but i didnt understand the tutorials i found to make them shooting.
Is there a straight way/tutorial to add the right settings anywhere ?

i imagine it would be similar to adding battleship encounters...

Take a peek at other entries in the solararch and missions files. Pay particular attention to such things as weapons platforms, which do shoot during random missions.

Change parameters accordingly and test again

Thx Chips. I tried a lot, changing the turret-assignment of the equip-entries and so on, tried to add pilot as by station.
The best was, that sometimes 3 flaks are following me. But i never saw turrets.
