Beacon laying and jumpgate construction

special explosions for cargo containers with different levels of explosions depending on
what the containers hold also could be used as trap to damage capital ships such as narn
cargo ship luring a centauri ship to its destruction.

Automated claps for maintenance pots, camera pots, Cargo ships that use external containers ,
ect

The Derelict Campaign used containers on a very creative way (trapping and proximity mines).

What the TBP REALLY needs is a good way of ending missions (i.e. improved jump-out sequence and docking with ships w/o red-alert status). Oh, both yellow and blue jump points are a must too.

Hum...and getting rid of the shield energy control system maybe. Right now, I can live with the red nebula "hyperspace" (i.e. make all ships dissapear when out of range to simulate HS drift does the job for now).

Oh, especial explosions are already in there. Just use the especial explosion mark in FRED2.

Thanks to the source code, the problem with ending missions has already been fixed.

Starkiller: Not always and not perfectly stable, either.

Alphakiller: Allways and stable.
Blue point when entering normal space: No tricks needed standard.

Yellow point when leaving normal space: as long as there is1 large objects present in the mission ( Cap ship, station or jumpgate), besides the ship that's leaving. Then it's no problem either. Without code changes.

Would it be out of the question to do endings with the fighter entering a CAPship's/station's docking bay, now with the possibilities of the released source code?

Jees...what is it with you people and the "multiple jump-point obsession". Or have you all forgotten that, as of LotR, they completely re-desinged the jumpoints so that there is only one color?

I can see the appeal of landing in a fighter bay, cause I have wanted to do that since FS first came out.

Personally I think it would be most important to make the slide(up, down, left, right) controls work and have the AI actually be able to use them correctly.

Also it would be nice to be able to make ships like the VPK be able to be actual models in the game (although I don't even want to specualte about how my framerate would react to something like that).

Also the nice little touches like animated textures for the shadow and Hand ships and multiple moving parts ona single ship (for when the Hand gets done, if ever).
