The upgrades, missiles and drones you must land to buy but this is not frequent. Missions are done completely in ship (except in the campaign you have to land sometimes)Haysand wrote:I assume it is all equipment, not just the ones you listed?BlackRain wrote: The only time you actually need to leave the ship is to recruit employees and you can minimize time on stations by flying to a dock, selecting the docking icon and looking at the list of employees there. It only lists 4 unfortunately but you can quickly see if someone you need is part of that 4 and choose to move on or not.
edit-- sorry that isn't entirely true, need to exit to buy missiles, drones and such but that isn't often.
How about missions?
The ship might be stuck in the trade action. Try leaving the area through a highway and go to another area. Open up the map and look at your ship in the map and see if it starts to move.OverclockedKitty wrote:I got to the part where Yisha tells you to buy 100 Units of Energy Cells and such forth to get the plasma weapons. I went to the station and bought them, but the freight ship isn't doing anything. It's just sitting at the station. I've tried several times, loaded a game, tried it, nothing. Please help? =(

I went from Hideout to Gemstone and it's still sitting there like a derp, and it's still telling me to buy the cells from the station.BlackRain wrote:The ship might be stuck in the trade action.

Hi
I can't even enter the repair dock in the campaign.Tried and tried I hit things,get stuck even fly through the dome like structure.I double click the dock get the icon to dock click that and nothing happens.Gone fast slowed down everything I can think of and just don't dock.
Possibly I am most likely missing something very obvious to others,me old brain does play tricks sometimes:)

Hi, fly up to it. Select it once with the mouse, make sure you have it selected, it will appear in your little screen on the bottom right. Then double click it quickly and the option to dock will pop up. Select it, and bam there you go. You have to be close enough, try getting closer if you can't do it.kiwiitis wrote:Hi

If you have an engineer on board the capital ship, you also need the correct drone type on board for repairs. I think construction URV's. The engineer will repair it to about 70% but not completely. To get complete repairs, you go to a SHIP DEALER, located on a shipyard (Shipyard in Albion is in Shady vault). Speak to the Ship dealer and there are options for repair. You should be able to do this even if the ship isn't there, I think. You can also buy the construction URV drones and get them on the ship but that wont be full repairs.rashi nerha wrote:How do I repair a boarded capital ship?
It just sitting there being a brick. I transfered a Captain, Engineer and defence guy to it but it wont even fire its weapons at enemies, let alone repair the engine/jumpdrive.
That is only to talk to the crew on the Albion skunk. To talk to a captain on another ship, you can go to the property list in the menu, enter, info, property list and select the CO command next to the ship you want to talk to and the menu will open up. Alternately, if the ship is in front of you, double click the ship.sovietax wrote:How do I talk to the pilot/crew of my other ships? I go to the menu and select crew. My character gets up and walks to the back of the ship.
Wont damage you or anything. Just effects I believe. To go faster, get behind another ship in it's slipstream. If you are able to get behind a ship you will speed up behind it.beach07 wrote:Anyone know what the orange plasma/electric-looking things are in the blue highways? Am I supposed to try going through those for a speed boost or do they slow you down or possibly damage your ship?

There are 15 construction drones already on the ship. They are not doing anything. How do I activate them? Construction drones cannot be carried on the player ship so I cant do them manually.BlackRain wrote:If you have an engineer on board the capital ship, you also need the correct drone type on board for repairs.

The ship got down to 3% hull at some point
I just got to the part you mentioned and I was able to sell both my shields by sliding the slider to the LEFT, it starts out on the right. I was able to buy one behemoth mk2, wouldn't let me buy 2, not sure why. I didn't have enough money for the other shield so I just rebought my steady shield.beach07 wrote:Ah, turns out I WAS moving the slider the wrong way when selling. Oops.
BUT I still can't buy the other shields, only the shields I just sold. Is there some incompatability with certain shields I'm not aware of?
I'm trying to buy either the Behemoth Mk2 or Dashing Shield MK2, while selling my previously installed Steady Shield MK1. Do I need to have the MK1 versions first or something?
Something tells me I'm missing something basic, like the slider thing lol.

You cant carry construction drones on your player ship but you can transfer them to other ships somehow.rashi nerha wrote:There are 15 construction drones already on the ship.

As for the hull, it may be that the engineer ONLY repairs modules. Look at the modules and see if they are full health. I thought it should also repair the hull but it might be that the only way to repair the hull is to go to a ship dealer.

I am aware I cannot carry them on the player ship, hence why I said so in your quote. How do I get the damaged capital ship to launch its construction drones?BlackRain wrote:You cant carry construction drones on your player ship but you can transfer them to other ships somehow.rashi nerha wrote:There are 15 construction drones already on the ship.
