Hey
Is there some way for cargo drones to work together between stations.
like X rebirth

Gameplay questions belong in the main forum, not Technical Support. Thread moved.

This used to be the case in V1.00 from what I read at that time in the posts. It was abandoned because it caused too much traffic around the stations (including the generated general trafic) deeping down FPS and abstructing ships from docking-undocking. Keep in mind that this "trafic" can derail a ship (even an XL one) from it's course by it's generated gravity(!!!), not to mention the collisions.

It's kind of sad it was removed from the game.

It was a neat way to build large production complexes made up of individual clustered stations and looked great when it worked as intended.

As far as I am aware it was removed between stations because it was inconsistent, took impractically long for shipments to complete, seemingly buggy at times and there were no clear indications when stations would even be allowed to engage in such mechanic. Most of the time regular traders ended up being used anyway, even if the two stations could use cargo drones.

The mechanic has not been entirely removed though. Stations can still use cargo drones to trade with their own build storages.

as I remember the biggest issue was that it only worked between stations in same zone and you cant see zones ingame
