Fix ships with missing docking ports, please! [Q&A GTS-6]
I tried to board a Gangrene Chaser, finished successfully however at the end Yisha mentions a new commander will be brought on board before we can use it. I wait.... and wait... nothing.
So if the commander is not going to get on board and it just sits there green, holding all my marines. How did the developers plan for us to take these ships if at all?
Another thing I don't get is why we would destroy the jump drive, why not just hack it? once you disable the ship it can't jump or boost to stations for repairs. I would understand taking out half the engines for lost mobility.
Anyway does anyone know a way to mod the save file to bypass this issue in the mean time? Somebody needs to make a mod that changes the boarding procedure.

Fix ships with missing docking ports, please!
Theres no way to get an engineer, captain or any other crew on board a Fedhelm, because the docking port was forgotten (no, its not too small).
This significantly reduces the usability of the Fedhelm (no engi to repair, no def officer to use drones, etc).
(Also discussed here (german) http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=4218963)
This also seem to apply to other ships as reported here:

Did anybody of you find more ships that should be dockable but arent?

Re: Fix ships with missing docking ports, please!
hmm I don't really think every last ship needs docks and all sorta personnel. I use a Fedhelm to mine some ore. Of course I'd get pissed if it gets damaged and then it can't be repaired. So something has to be done.Zothen wrote:Theres no way to get an engineer, captain or any other crew on board a Fedhelm, because the docking port was forgotten (no, its not too small).

Also it needs an option to cancel follow when it contacts you that it finished mining and will come to you. Something like: "Don't come damnit I'm in middle of a battle!!!!"

Not sure why you are a moderator or something, but somebody should have told you that irony often doesnt work well in written form. But feel free to make jokes on our bill.CBJ wrote:Well spotted.

And thanks for the update. Looking forward.

Docking port is a problem since last (I think 1.14) patch guys. After this patch my construction vessel "lost" its docking port, so I'm unable to dock. I think their changes has impact the save file structure, so maybe we should start over a new campaign/free play after each patch. (or maybe if not after all patch, but when they change save file structure, or the method game handling these type of data)

You can fix it, by editing save, and adding port by youself.ioae wrote:Xenon K captured. Any idea how I can repair it? Or is this a bug wherein the capital ship is missing a landing platform? Can't assign captain or anything.If this is not a bug, please feel free to move it from here.

Just look for string in your regular ship(with dock) like this:
then copy from this string to and paste it to "connections" section.
Code: Select all
<connection connection="connection_dock_p01" macro="connection_dock_p01">
Code: Select all
</connection>

press me! i`m open in new window, or tab

Balor has a landing spot between the bridge and antenna ( black circle).
If that helps.
