Plus, don't forget about the "drift" factor that is alive and well in the game. Besides other unknown "requirements" of the game, the Targets should have a Speed=0, a waypoint set at least 1000m away, a "Head to waypoint" set, and a GameEntryDate and Time set to a time near mission time. You could also experiment between "EvolveFromEntryDate=" of "true" (the asset is placed where the game calculates it would be when it "spawns" from you getting close enough) and "falses" (it spawns where set when you get close enough). Triggering the asset into existence is also an option, though does complicate things needlessly sometimes...
so, that parm means let the ship travel from where it is to where it would be, using the speed, direction, and starting dates as directors?

i always thought that EvolveFromEntryDate had to do with evolving the equipment, upgrades, etc.

nice naming convention. (don't get me started on that topic )
