Some questions...
1. In EA-Minbari war, Starfurys (and other ships) couldnt lock their weapons on minbari ships, did this mean they couldnt lock their primary cannons (pulse,plasma) or secondary (missiles ?) ?
or Im not sure if they had missiles in that time yet
2. With source code modifications, can you lock your primary cannons into the enemies ?, that would be cool
3. How may versions of Nial have you made ?, present Nial is Very nice looking !
4. With new TBP_open can we finally enable real fighterbeams ?
5. Im bored being Alpha 1, Is there a way to fly Beta, or Delta for a change ?

1) Because FreeSpace 2 targeting systems are very simple, there is no good way (that is playable) to make it so that Minbari craft are difficult to lock onto. What was happening was EA systems could detect Minbari craft but they could not lock directly onto them (which means they are in scan only mode, no direct tracking for targeting systems, no direct missile locks, etc.). This isn't modeled in FreeSpace 2 anyways.
2) Not sure what locking a primary cannon onto something would do...that already happens...
3) I think this is version 5. The original was never released and neither was version 4 I think...the others have been around.
4) Yes. It will happen officially eventually.

I think in EA - Minbari war it was like in the first mission against the shivans in FS1.
At least against fast tragets it is a disadvantage, because you have to guess where to shoot instead of your computer showing you where you have to shoot.
But why no lockon should bother anyone with capships i don't know. They are big an slow enaugh to be hit without locking on.

Like IceFire said its possible, just make mission with FRED and when you form Players wing instead typing Alpha you just type the wanted wing name. FRED complains it but it works very well.
And you dont have to be leader if you dont want, though its bit harder to do, but still quite easy thing. Bit messing between multiplayer and single player.
