WC3: Transport won't follow me in Orsini 4!

Master Katarn

Rear Admiral
This is the mission with the skipper missile. However, the transport is never in danger because it never follows my autopilot once I meet it! It never even sees the skipper! I can't seem to get the transport to follow my autopilot, and the transport's manual movement is not fast. I can't get the transport to the jump point! What should I do?
 
Are you flying close enough to the transport for you to confirm its identity first? You generally need to do this on escort missions before they will follow you on autopilot to the nav points. When you fly close enough, you will get a message saying "confederate id confirmed". At that point you know their nav information and yours is shared, so if you autopilot to another nav point they should follow. Then when you get to wherever they are going, generally back to the victory, a base, or a jump bouy, they'll say "thanks for the escort colonel."
 
Yes, you generally need to fly within 1,000m of a transport that you are escorting in WC3 for it to become attatched to you. Think of it as needing to fly in close formation with the transport.
