Direction needed for a mod

[wrai7h_blade]

I recently got the idea to create a mod that makes managing aircraft/missiles less of a hassle:

-Aircraft/missiles automatically set to intercept/sleep when rebased.
-Fighters/missiles don't wake up carrier ships when rebased to them.

I know this is possible since it's part of the functionality in Redox's LightTouch Mod, but even looking at the Lua files I can't figure out where to start in creating the mod.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

The right direction would be to examine Redox's code and see what he did. Specifically find the parts that handle your changes and see what he did.

Hopefully he made a lot of notes while coding to help you out.

Or you could just PM Redox and see if he will help you. Most modders here are really good about sharing their secrets.
