Supercarrier - Is it somehow possible to select specific parking spots?

When selecting take off from ramp on the SC, I don't see the option to choose a specific parking slot. Am I missing something here, or will this function be added later in EA?

It is automated, unknown if it will become a feature eventually. Only way to change it is to manipulate by spawn timing. With an aircraft set to player and spawning at mission start you will always spawn in the same spot of the six pack. Gotta spawn a few seconds after mission start and have however many aircraft in front of you or static objects over spawn points to "pick" where you spawn at.

Thanks Grimes (that link is very helpful for better insight :thumbup:)

I sure hope ED will add the option later, as that would make ME life a lot easier. Or even better, if they would add a "ramp start from ground" option for players, so that we can simulate starting while parked on the bow of the ship.

I guess we are all aware you could easily block catapults, taxiways and parking spots, but you can already do this, by adding static objects in the wrong place.

No complaints at all about the carrier, I think it's f***in awesome:D! But, in the future would be nice to be able to choose parking spots. I'm building a sp/mp mission and it revolves around dispatch order. I can make it work, mission designer assigned parking would be handy.

There's a few "rules", but it's pretyt difficult, I think people tried to use "blockers" but this invariably changed and at any given time could cause explosions :)

First of all, if you are first, you get Six Pack behind cat 1. Actually this applies to AI too. Also the sixpack 1-4 takes cat 1-4. After that its a bit complex.

If you ever spawn or late activate at mission start so the deck is initially empty, the sixpack isn't used, instead you see the Elevator spawns used. It can be quite predictable but it is also based on the unit ID roughly if you have mission start normal units on the deck, it fills fairly predictably.

Having also 4 jets AI spawning Parking Hot also fixes it, they spawn always before the player and since all 4 uses the parking, i'm able to spawn at a different place, no need to play with spawn time. This made me able to spawn on the elevator in front of the LSO station besides the tower. At least this way, as i startup up and get ready on parking, i don'T get bumped into by the E2 taxing out of his parking spot behind me and getting impatient.
