Controlling your ships?
Is there a way to somehow control your ships? Like order then to stay put and quit following me back in the hostile areas. Or any way to issue any command other that the trade queue?
As far as my experience goes, it's a bit hit and miss. The AI is pretty bugged, and there is no hidden button you are missing.
They are supposed to idle when they are not in your squad, and follow you when they are. If they have trade orders they will report their current order as "following Albion Skunk", and are supposed to carry on trading, but sometimes they will bug out and won't trade at all (just follow you or idle).

I mean 7 years, and can't make a ship to stay/follow. Not only you can't fly them you can't command them either? We get stuff like simulated economy, but our crew captains are simpler than a dog? I wonder whose genius design decision this was... Or was commanding ships deemed too boring?

Here is a mod that lets you do some basic commands to your owned ships. It is still in alpha, so there arn't many commands yet, but the basic ones.

Thanks. It's funny how modders seemed to make this in few days, while Ego couldn't do it in years...Petroph wrote:Here is a mod that lets you do some basic commands to your owned ships. It is still in alpha, so there arn't many commands yet, but the basic ones.

On a side note, are pilots used for anything?
I wonder who did the priorities for this game...TinkerToy wrote:azile0 wrote:It's hilarious, the level of downgrading friendly AI got. In X3:TC you got so many freaking options- Patrol, trade, idle, escort, attack, etc.
In X:R it's Follow Me or Stay Here.
Yup, you have two control options, except one of them doesn't seem to work at all
Also reaaly cracked me up how excited Yisha was when I got the "terran shields" which are absolutely the same as the shields you can buy from Albion...
