The Formations editor won't add a ship 99 or 100.

Think is caused by having the 'Filter Abilities List" under the file menu checked on. This was designed to make it easier for rookies to tell what abilities worked with components, facilities. etc. However if you open a mod that has a non standard ability like you mentioned it will show it wrong. To fix unclick the option and then select your mod from the file menu (this will force the abilites list to be refilled)

As far as the scroll bar for abilites there is one! Can you tell me what mod you were view or what you did that caused it to not appear?

As far as I know it has always been possible at least in gold. (except in gold all the postions are like "Position 1 Type:= Any) I know the TDM mod formations use them although I haven't tested it extensively enough to know how well it works in game.

I know someone that would!

I can add the 99 and 100 ships to the formations file manually, and the editor will then be able to read and use them. But, it just won't add anything after 98 in the editor.
