Wolfcat, it sounds like you're talking about a game called Jane's Fleet Command. Check into it if you haven't already.
FC and and DW are based on
very similar game platforms. But, DW is set up more for a single unit command while FC is all about driving a surface fleet. The focus of the two games are different. You may find answers in FC's mission editor BUT they might not apply to DW.
And don't worry about p7p8, he barks a lot.
