Recalling drones to my M7D
I bought a Guppy to use as a repair ship. I moved it to a sector with some stolen gently used TLs and set it to repair damaged ships, but I want to recall the drones back into the carrier to jump it to another sector, but it seems like 2/4 of the drones are ignoring the request and are continuing to repair the ship they're working on until it's done. I can't use the command console on them to order them back.
Any ideas on how to cancel their order?

Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
It doesn't seem to be possible to control drones at all after docking them in an M7D. You can't even set their homebase or rename them anymore and they're completely locked to that M7D. Even for other ships, once assigned to the M7D from Carrier Management, it seems impossible to regain control.

Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
in 1.2 you can unassign them from carrier manager what will allow you to regain control over them.
But you can't recall them all at once sadly from the carrier, you really need to remove them from the manager and then give them the order manually. But since you have only 2 it shouldn't be a big issue.

Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
Doesn't work for me. Any order given to that ship gets immediately overwritten with its previous carrier order (in my case it's "Carrrier Resupply: Null"). It seems to work fine only if the ship is not currently running a carrier-assigned command.Midnightknight wrote: ↑Sat, 19.

In one of the previous comments it was said that you need version 1.2. Are you still on 1.1?andreihaiducul wrote: ↑Sat, 19. Jun 21, 13:05Doesn't work for me.

No, I'm playing with 1.2. I think the patch only fixed an issue in the UI.Utsuho Reiuji wrote: ↑Sat, 19. Jun 21, 13:14In one of the previous comments it was said that you need version 1.2. Are you still on 1.1?
Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
Yeah it was a bit awkward but I was able to figure out last earlier that I was able to do this. I then had problems with a drone being unassigned, but docked, so I had to un-dock and re-dock it to get it assigned to the carrier.Midnightknight wrote: ↑Sat, 19.

You see, that's the thing; I now have 12. It seems to make repairs go faster so this should be less of an issue in the future, but we'll see.Midnightknight wrote: ↑Sat, 19. Jun 21, 12:53But since you have only 2 it shouldn't be a big issue.

Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
For those players (above) who are having trouble with drones, do you have Drone Command Software (as opposed/in addition to Carrier Command Software) installed on your drone carriers?

Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
I installed both Drone Command and Carrier Command software on mine.

Re: Recalling drones to my M7D
After looking into the scripts a bit, it looks like my problem (can't unassign ship) is specific to the supplier/buyer role and is unrelated to the OP. Sorry for polluting this thread.
