Yeah, that would be really nice. Right now I’m getting around it by making them ground vehicles. It works pretty well, the handling is a bit weird but somewhat believable with big ships. On the plus side, unlike ships, you can actually navigate inside harbors. the downside is you lose the ability to spawn helos on the deck and the autopilot is limited to 11kph/6mph.
I’ve started to toy around with armed ships
Since you lost the deck spawn point, could you have an escort ship that had the spawn point for a human flown helo and then they could fly over to your deck?
It should be possible but I don’t think have the ability to follow other vehicles (like helos or aircraft do) and even if they did I doubt they’d be able to follow a ground vehicle.
But I guess you could set it up in the mission editor or better yet use CA to give waypoints to the escort to it follows your own ship
