Stupid TL
Hello,
Anyone know an easy way to get the TLs to get to the nearest shipyard?
I am in Grand Exchange, and the TL there doesnt give me the option to hire him. So I go to another sector and get a paranid TL, bring him all the way to teladi space and then ask him to go to shipyard... he says ok, the aimlessly flys off into the distance.. I have been trying for over an hour to get him to dock.... What the hell....

Elephant is nice, so is the Ryu. (Ryu is my preferred board.) I also like the Orca. It's 21 m/s slower than the Elephant, but only 10,000 cargo lighter than the Mammoth. And it's far cheaper than the Mammoth. (Unless you're boarding, then they're all more or less free.)

Re: Stupid TL
The TL there doesn't let you hire? I wonder if that's one of the citizen TLs (casino, hospital ship, something like that). You need to find the supply TL - you can hire that one. If you can't find it, it could be off placing a station somewhere or the Xenon could have blown it away. You could go east then south to hire one in Queen's Retribution.sthakker wrote:Hello,

With 30 million you can buy any TL you want, too. Mammoths are great but will use up almost all your credits - an Orca is almost as good and quite a bit cheaper. Go down to Queen's Ret and buy one, then send it south one sector and buy a jump drive for it. That will let you do those station building missions *real* easy for big money.
Of course, if you have NO RESPECT AT ALL FOR NPC RIGHTS, then I suppose you could MURDER the UNARMED crew of some TL and fly it yourself. Better bring nose plugs and some bleach for wiping their guts off the cockpit window.

If they'd stop buying M-size mines, and then flying through Pirate Sectors, I might find myself more inclined to be charitable. (Or if that accursed Carrack weren't in the way.)

ok
Ok, So I followed the advice.... The TL I was trying to hire was a albatross supply.... I decided to go to another teladi sector... Saw another supply TL.. would not let me hire it....
Ok, Then bought a paranid Hercules.. and flew it to another teladi sector.. I need a teladianium foundry... I instructed it to dock... It just kept saying landing in station, then back to idling... etc...
So I decided to manually do it.. I switched to the ship and tried to fly it in manually.. when I asked for permission to land, it said "Negative, you cannot initiate docking procedures at this moment" or something of that nature... I am confused... I wasted tons of times just trying to get this dumbass TL to land so I could buy my station.. I am about to quit...

What's your rep with Teladi? Or the station might just be full.
