Ships landing on top of each other
Hello :)
I encountered a problem and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I just can't figure out how to operate the mod.
Basically I can't seem to figure out how to make sending multiple ships on missions work.
In more detail: Built 2 skips, wanted to send them to pick up some cargo from a mining site a few spaces away from the colony. Selected them and used the "Load launch group of 2" button to load them up with 2 pilots; after that the launch button only seems to be sending one of the ships, odd, but not a big problem, I just launch the second one separatelly, now the problem branches, if I manually select the landing site only one skip arrives, with both pilots; if I just tell them to land in the center, they both arrive and pick their own landing spots, hooray! I load them up again using the "Load launch group of 2" with the 2 pilots and as much ore as they can carry and launch, again they need to be launched separatelly; you seem to only be able to assign manual landing spots at the colony, so I assign them different landing pads, they fly to the colony and proceed to land one on top of the other, the pilots are thankfully unharmed, and all their cargo is intact :) , but one of the skpis has disappeared, (I looked in all the pawn inventories, it's not there, it's just gone).
So I guess the question is can you form caravans of multiple ships somehow, without loosing all but one of those ships or is that just something you're not supposed to be doing?

No, you cannot. The way the original SRTS code was written was bugged for transport groups so I disabled it entirely by removing the gizmos. After not having updated for some time there are more and more bugs with patches. So if you're seeing the transport group gizmos then it's a bug.

Don't send groups of shuttles, just one at a time.
