can someone tell me if you can make only certain ships pick up flags?
an example is only the warbird can pick up any flags, ships 2-8 can not pick up flags.

You can do it with powerballs, but you can't do it with only settings for flags. ASSS and a bot doing *shipreset are both solutions that would work.

Place flags in an unreachable area. Have tm-baw bot warp only a certain type of ship to the flag. To get a ship to not be able to pick up a powerball, just set it's powerball proximity to 0.

Doesn't *shipreset set the ownership of the flags to the carriers freq?

And if you dont want to use a bot, you could place the flag/s inside an area only reachable by certain ships by changing the ships radius ( size ). By changing the ships radius to 16 instead of 14 it can not pass a 2 tile hole.

You are right... I forgot about that. Looks like ASSS is the best solution.
