I thought there was a way to switch to(fly) your wingman's ship in SO, 
but I can't find it. Am I bonkers or can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,

Ed

Bonkers!

Why would you want to fly your wingman's ship, anyway?

Because when there are those two transports that you need to get for 
bonus points before they get away after you dispatch the fighters, it 
would help to get a bomber after them right away. I find it impossible 
to get them before they warp out. So I want to get in a bomber and trash 
them while everyone else is fighting around me.

That's why. Now, Mr. Bonkers, can you help?

There is no way to change positions with your wingmen, as far as I have ever heard.  You could, however, download WCEdit from wcnews.com's files section, which would allow you to edit your ship to have, say, torpedoes or more torpedoes.  There is a mission in SO that you can't win if you run out of torpedoes - I think the 5 transports one (?), but that is part of the challenge of the game!
