The fuse has been reduced since then. I've also tested it now, and made a few tweaks. > Will the normal player and ship updates in daemonII.c override the > above?

If you want to navigate the ships using p_desdir and p_desspeed then p_x_y_go() is not appropriate at all. Where you see p_x_y_go() in draft.c, you will need to replace it with code that will decide what p_desdir and p_desspeed to set. I've pushed a patch containing your latest and my changes that were needed to make it work. On starting the draft, the ships glide into the pool positions, the captains glide out of them, and then they can "lock" onto players in turn. As each player is picked, they move to the pick area behind the captain. (At least, with my style of positioning.) -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
