NPC ships queuing up outside my factory

[frankster]

So I have a kind of "everything" complex, where i just built stuff i needed at the time like weapons/shields etc.

There are about 25 NPC ships landed in it, and about 20 that show up on the sector map outside in a swarm around it. They seem to be trying to land.

Do I need to build a trade dock / equipment station or something to increase the docking capacity?

[Catra]

you cant increase docking capacity.

what you can do is split the factories into smaller complexes so they each have a docking hub.

or buy a EQdock / Trade station and move goods into that.

so i would build myself an unconnected eq dock in the same sector then set up a ship for each ware with a manual trade mission to the eq dock then sell it in there? (im not using bonus pack etc though possibly i should start to )

Alternatively, you could just kick all the NPC's out by setting trade with NPC's to no and perhaps even changing the friend/foe settings on the complex to make all races foe. Then you could just sell all the wares using your own freighters, either via Sell for Best using Trade Cmd Mk II, or CAG's (Commercial Agents) from the Bonus Pack.

For a temporary solution... drive a Phoenix at full speed(which isn't much) and run the buggers down.
