How do I make it so that people can use the comsat station scan, without having the CC attached to it?

Thanks in advance.

Just preplace it in SCM Draft or another advanced editor and make sure the owner is set to the player you want to use it. Regular staredit sets the owner to Player 12 (neutral) whenever the Command Center is removed.

I'm not sure, but maybe starting it off with a CC, then removing the CC when the game begins. I think that might do it....

EDIT: Or not...
I tried

The game also automatically gives the comsat station (or any other add-on, for that matter) to player 12 whenever the command center is destroyed/removed.

Here's a link to SCM Draft in case you don't already have it: http://www.staredit.net/files/7/.

You must preplace it, any other method will not work.
