annoying spaceflies

Post by dlong41123 » Wed, 25. Aug 10, 15:28

So how does the spacefly collector work? i think mine is defective, i hang out in my tl with seta on in senator's badlands and there seems to be a spacefly population growing there. They are constantly crashing into the ship, not doing any damage and my ships is at full stop. However this does knock me out of SETA. I much rather stay in Sen badlands, but if the collector works shouldnt it just cap the flies when the crash into me?

You need a ship armed with Ion Disruptors to 'stun' the Spacefly's. Then you can collect them using the Spacefly Collector.

And by 'collecting', he means you have to run over it same as collecting other objects, such as crates and ore. Think of it as a device that allows you to collect the spaceflies, not as something that actively does it for you.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
