Captured small ship shields

Post by Lord Foul » Thu, 12. Oct 17, 09:28

Hi all
Short history. Played x2 x3. Tehran conflict. Bought x4 on release but never played it. Started now (3years in) 😂😂. I have captured a couple of fighters and repaired the hulls at shipyard, can I install better shields on them? All have rubbish shields and die quickly in battle.

Hi,

unfortunately in X:Rebirth (I assume that you don't have a time machine) you can't do anything with small fighters. Their usefulness is strictly limited. Sell it or don't even bother with taking it.

I usually assign captured small ships to my traders. It helped some of my trading ships survive attacks but most of the time it seems the ship, including the pilot, doesn't survive.

Hi,

compared to what a typical yellow-ring lockbox contains it's not worth the effort. Constantly blocking one of the five precious passenger slots with a pilot in the hope of finding a ship to man is annoying.

And once you start using the Pulse Maser Mk3 you anyway blow up all S size ships still after they turned blue.
