IMO in PDS that's damn near impossible (or at least it was in v6.0). In stock HW2, though, it's really not that hard. In fact, I don't remember ever losing even a single transport in stock HW2. Just try to have an escort of at least one interceptor squad per transport, regardless of whether it's under attack or not. If you have any left to spare, then double them up on the transports that are having the most difficulty. When transports are deemed safe by the computer, just send your interceptors out again. I usually don't bother trying to take out the carrier's subsystem, as I rarely have enough money to make bombers after the purchases of interceptors to make a difference before they die.
Welcome to the internet

If you have three fighter groups go along the right side transports taking out the bombers (every once in a while sending them back for repairs), then send them up the left side while you have a group of about four bomber squadrons take out the carrier's fighter facility, then you are fine. Of course, my elite squadrons usually dont last too many missions. They are helpful at the start, but end up outclassed by the normal ones once you upgrade them. (Upgrades on the normals dont upgrade the elites)

Use the utility cfharded for rescaling ships. It's fast and easy. available on the relic forums.

I am currently testing with the MissionBoy mapmaker, and the unfbig to make a .big file to test the map. There is a way to do it without the .big file, but I cant remember how it's done. Help?

EDIT:

Nevermind on the .big, figured it out, also have figured out the correct way to do what I want in the MissionBoy program. When placing units, the Player option is determined by your position on the map. Also for the player option 0 = position 1.

well that frigate sized scout is actually going to get 4 turret mounted pea shooters
and instead of the front pea shooter it will have a Advanced Sensor Array(dunno how i will do that) already in place

WHERE getting a new PC lol so now i can finally play HW 2 with my little bro (he's very good at it)
and finally show him how you play Multiplayer matches (he never could on our old pc cause it somehow thought the signal coming from relic's server was a incoming virus )(and he can take my old one)

Actually I can imagine a scout as a frigate. A hellishly advanced multi purpose frigate of death.

Just need to get by DVD drive working Sad

I'd put long range missiles on the frigate. Makes for a nice fast raiding ship that stands off from battleline to perform a harrassment or precision strike role.
 
xealmox
ive made 3 concepts of it

1 a fast Scout Sized frigate with clamps for fighters,scouts?
2 a Scout sized long range missile frigate
3 a Pea shooter frigate with the guns on the wings and the main(HEAD) peashooter replaced with a shortrange ion cannon(really short like 100 m away from a target)

That would work beautifully, actually. The pea-shooter could be replaced with a DEW or be transformed into a mag-accelerated HVM system.

i assume you have heard of the superscouts mod
it turns a scout very much into something similar to what you are discussing
and it is open source and the creator doesnt care how you modify it
 
xealmox
ooh never heard of it butt i want to start from scratch cos even though the creators won't mind i really wanna be able to say ''its me but you can use it too''
