Code: Select all

; Create ares delta ares fleet
(setq pos (sysVectorPolarOffset gSource (random 10) 120))

(setq aresdeltaLeader (sysCreateShip &scChasm; pos &svaresf; "aresfleetcommand"))
	(shpOrderWait aresdeltaLeader 0)
	(objSetObjRefData gSource "deltaaresfleet" aresdeltaLeader)
	(objRegisterForEvents gSource aresdeltaLeader)

	(for i 0 35
		(block (ship)
	(setq ship (sysCreateShip &scTundra; pos &svaresf; "aresfleet"))
	(shpOrderEscort ship aresdeltaLeader i)
							)
						)

because shpOrderEscort works on ships, and not on stations.
As a solution use a hybrid station-ship like the CSC, then it should work.

i made a hybrid station-ship and it still did what it did on the station

When creating the ships with sysCreateShip, the controller argument (you used "aresfleetcommand" and "aresfleet") is not an arbitrary label. I think it is a hardcoded AI setting. "fleetcommand" and "fleet" are valid controller settings and are used for both Commonwealth and Ares ships in Point Juno.
