You can always transfer Service crew from other ships to the "newly acquired" one right?grapedog wrote: ↑Wed, 18. Nov 20, 10:42
I can't turn my marinea into temporary service crew anymore??? I been deployed overseas since july and won't get back till march.... so if this changed before i might have missed it. ****** internet on a navy ship sadly.
I'd hate to not be able to co-op my marines as service crew until i can get the capped ship back to a friendly shipyard.

No, Solomon Short asked about weapon mode, not weapon mods. 
These are the settings for turret behaviour.

These are the settings for turret behaviour.
Re: 4.00 Public Beta now available
I think that was already the case... i just liked not having to do an extra crew xfer. I would cap the ship, then swap marinea to service crew, xfer repair drones over, and then escort it back to a shipyard. Just before it docked, i would transfer my marines back to their launch ship, and have the cap'd ship pull in, get repairs, and hire a new crew. Now ill have to ferry around a service crew too?dtpsprt wrote: ↑Wed, 18. Nov 20, 12:33You can always transfer Service crew from other ships to the "newly acquired" one right?grapedog wrote: ↑Wed, 18.

I'd be much happier if they just capped marines(of say 1 boarding star or better) at 1 or 2 stars for engineering. That way you can still use em for basic maintenance crews, without having to ferry around multiple groups of people. That's gonna make the capping process much more annoying i feel.
Maybe we've got 'em demoralised!

Re: 4.00 Public Beta now available
Any way you look at it, it's about the same number of clicks... the only "difference" is that it would be a nice idea (for those that love and embrace caping) to have a "special" crew ship to transfer from so they won't be searching...grapedog wrote: ↑Wed, 18.

Tried the beta, the vol fog, i cant tell if its working as i look at stuff then turn it on then off but looks the same. Am i missing something? Looked when in multiple sectors.

It makes sense that when turning it off and on you have to exit and reload for these changes (the way the graphic adapter behaves)...

Re: 4.00 Public Beta now available
We can fix these things if we know where they happen, but we can't wave a magic wand and have them all suddenly vanish. If you have specific examples where it's still a problem with the 4.00 beta, then we need to know which texts there are and on which menu, as well as your language, screen resolution and UI scale.The release notes wrote: • Fixed cut-off encyclopedia descriptions.

... but please post those in reports supported with information for the devs in the public beta forum and not in this thread.

Seems one of my questions has been answered elsewhere ..alt3rn1ty wrote: ↑Wed, 18. Nov 20, 06:03Acedtpsprt wrote: ↑Wed, 18. Nov 20, 05:47Well... I can assure you that in 3 instances so far (5 hours play time in the Beta) Both the Xenon and the Khaak did coordinated attacks on me... I don't think it's just RNG...alt3rn1ty wrote: ↑Wed, 18.

The new Fleet Management and sub-ordinate ship orders from the Fleet Admiral, as opposed to the player having to micro-manage a coordinated attack sounds superb.
Will the AI also have similar coordinated attack behaviour against the player?
And does this happen OOS aswell as IS?
I will be amazed if those questions are both answered with an affirmative .. but kind of hoping they are![]()
. First thing I had after downloading the update a couple of hours ago was a swarm of Xenon P and M came through a gate trying to bust up my rattlesnake fleet plugging up the gate .. I was in a Nemesis with two Nemesis escorts next to the gate when they came through, best battle I have been hands on with, ever!. But I treated it like a pre-4.0 game and personally protected the Fleet of Rattlesnakes IS against the swarm of small fast ships, so I still need to rebuild my Fleets to have smaller supporting role ships
But first it would be good to know if OOS is going to be the same, or would smaller ships in a fleet OOS be practically useless because Coordinated attacks OOS dont quite work the same (ie the usual biggest guns win OOS)

So Egosoft have made improvements over the disparity between IS and OOS, I guess we just need to find out by trial and error again as to how.

Re: 4.00 Public Beta now available
Well... if they could (or even had time to) write big "explanatory" posts, without giving out too much so that it will come as a great surprise, they would be devs in a Publishing House, not a Sofrware one. Personally I'm glad (most of the time) for a simple "yes" or "no" or "we'll see about that".
As far as their "notes" on "improvements" in Betas, new versions and DLC's are correct (what said to be fixed/altered is fixed/altered and what is fixed/altered is mentioned) that's all we need to know. It is one of the reasons I always start a new, fresh, vanilla game in any Beta and some smaller ones in every Hotfix to test and find out by myself...
Once the new version is out one can decide to bring in his old paythrough or not right? Afterall a Beta is (supposed to be) a final test before the official release as far as I remember...
Re: 4.00 Public Beta now available
I really hope that all the new fleet behavior is not tied to the pilot skill of the captain, otherwise we alle know how bad this feature will end...
