Kindly make sure that the commander of carrier may also track the fighters sent
to planet visually and give them command on the run. As the fighter may crash
into hills if ai pilots follow the nav point.

"Fixing" this (it isn't a defect, but rather an oversight in the original game)
will take quite a bit of time, as it requires me to a) create a new interface
screen and b) change the waypoint placement logic so that waypoints are never
inside or within x of terrain.

I was looking at the star-shatter code (CampaignMissionStarship).
On line 455 you can find that the game code does not allow ground elements in
star-ship missions. I believe that this is the reason of the absence of ground
units in carrier or other star-ship missions.

You may not need to create a new interface screen. I have a suggestion.
One may need to modify nav screen a bit so that if a fighter is selected from
the nav screen and press some button, the view will automatically switch to
that fighter's camera as described in "CameraDirector.cpp".

Adding a mode to the already existing mission planning UI is only slightly less
complex than adding an entirely new UI.
Also, if you think it's so easy, I invite you to submit patches.

I am still in the process of setting up a suitable VStudio for compiling. Would
older editions of Visual studio like 2010 professional do the job?
