Ah, thank you it works just dandy now.  Of course I have hit a nother
snag.  If I want to allocate memory for a nother Ship, scouts[1], how do i
do it.
it doesn't work to do:

scouts[1]=new Ship ;

but I now realise that is because it's not a pointer but how come this wont
work:

&scouts[1]=new Ship;
or this
scouts+1=new Ship;

Do I have to allocate as much memory as I want at the same time like:
scouts=new Ship[50];
?
I would like to not have a limit of how many Ship members scouts can have
but I don't know how to do it.
