Ok figured it and can answer the question above...
The Telcat scripts in the bonus pack kinda does do it but not entierly.
If say you have a carrier and then go buy 20 fighters at a station the only way you can get the all assigned and on board your carrier is as follows:
* Firstly DONT add SETA or Vision Enh. or the scripts wont work.
1. Once you have all your fighters bought and at the shipyard you can run the assign homebase script from your carrier with the shipyard targeted - parameter 0 (all ships), then just enter for name? (telcat renames anyway). This sets the homebase as the carrier for the ships.
This is where I wanted Telcat to help but it dont!
2. Launch them all via the station command console. You can broadcast to all docked. Let them all idle in space.
3. Now Telcat kicks in. Using the extra commands section mid way down the carriers command console, Telcat Dock Ships. Parameter 0 (all ships). Note you have to target a cargo class ship if you want it to dock them as it normally only works for fighers M3-5.
They will all dock.
4. You then need to find a equipt dock with dicking computers, target it with your carrier. Then Use the Telcat install fleet command. Just use enter for time being with no parameters.
They will all dock and fit them selves with a docking computer and use it when they come back. Funky !!
5. Then go to the Goner Temple, target, install fleet again and now they will all get teleporters fitted, and return to carrier.
6. NOW you can run Telcat Install fleet and Launch Fighters etc.. properly!!
Note with the Telcat Install Fleet commands I found the official instructions a little unclear. To set the settings lke auto rename on/off r1/ro you run the command and enter 'r1' as the string. This sets that parameter. Once it's set it stays set. You can change all the paramters individually this way. Type 'status' or 'help' as the string and it will send you a message showing you your current settings.
THEN when you run the Install Fleet command with no paramters, i.e. just press enter it will use your settings as they are set, NOT the defaults.
Hope that helps out a few people. It confused me for a while.
I find it a little annoying that the Telcat stuff wont assign the homebase for your ships until they have a teleporter fitted which kinda means it aint gonna save you much time docking them initially etc...
It would be nice if the Telcat script could be pointed at a shipyard with your docked ships and assign them all to the carrier regardless of transporter etc..
Also not that the Telcat dock ships command wont affect ships docked at stations, so you need to launch them manually. Another place where I think the Telcat script could be improved to be a little bit more time effective and user friendly. Maybe an additional parameter -9 that docks all ships assigned to your carrier in the current sector that are docked at stations !! That would be nice.
With those 2 modifications it would be quick and easy to initially fill your carrier with ships.
