Freighter travel time

Moneytide · Post by **Moneytide** » Wed, 18. Mar 15, 04:46

I just bought my first freighter and I'm seeing that it needs to refuel at a Cell Recharge Fac. The problem is that it takes forever to get there. I understand that it takes 100 fuel to use the jump beacon, but what about inner-sector travel? Aren't cap ships supposed to have a way to travel faster without using the highways? My ship is going 74 m/s alongside the highway. At this rate it would probably take it 30 minutes to get to its destination...

It should indeed be using boosters to get to the cell recharge fab.

Not quite sure why it isn't, perhaps try stopping it and re-issuing the "fly to" order?

Yeah, it sounds like it should be boosting since it sounds like that is the speed of freighter with undamaged engines.

If you can post a link to a save file where this is occurring, Devs might be able to fix things.

Is it the zone with the Cell Recharge Fac yet?

Are you using/have used any mods or made any save game edits?

Just seen Xenon_Slayer's reply on this thread:

Does your capital ship by any chance have zero shields too? This apparently could be causing it to not be able to boost until the next patch update.

Solution for now: Don't build ships with no shield generators!

I didn't max out the ships generators when I built it. I went back and did that and haven't seen the problem since. Thanks for replies!

Please don't create multiple threads on the same topic. Since the other one seems to be getting the attention, this one can drop.
