Has anyone gotten the "AvailShipType" field in the EV:O 1.0.2 misn resource to work correctly? Based on my very limited testing, it appears that the only option that functions as advertised is the 'must have a ship other than this type.' The other options do not appear to have any effect on whether the mission is offered.

A similar problem seems to exist with the flags which are supposed to limit availablity of missions depending on the inherent AI of the player's ship. As far as I can tell these do not work at all. Setting the flag to make the mission unavailable to a player with a freighter AI (1 or 2) makes the mission unavailable to any AI type. Setting the flag to make the mission unavailable to a player using a warship AI (3 or 4) makes the mission available for any AI type.

Have others gotten these setting to work correctly?

Actually, it has been done. In F-25 2.0, Bomb made it work so that you had to fly a Kytann shuttle for a brief time to get the missions. You might want to ask him.

For what it's worth I've never gotten the AvailShipType to work at all, but I've never had trouble with the misn flags that limit it.
