Dock a ship temporarily [Mission Editor] ?

another thought is if you just want the ship to react then put speed at 0 but not docked and as soon as the ship reacts to being "alerted" by an attack it will get under way as AI controlled

Fractional numbers did not come to my mind.
I will experiment your tip, thanks !

I was thinking simply to make the ship disappear on a last way point and then re-enter,
but that would require 2 objects with the same name. It could cause problems (?), and have no control over time ( only DATE) .

Does the ship get alerted from a patrol plane ?
