so i finished the mission and the ship we took in still under my command, taranis ship, no matter what i tell it it never moves, i brought a cpt on it and replaced the one that was there and that cpt that got replaced never showed up on my ship after. anyways, still no matter what i tell it to do it wont move from that spot and its 100% fixed. also i dont have any scripts running game is as it is when i installed it.

Hi there,

The Captain should appear in the list of employees but until you undock and redock, it won't appear in the ship hanger. If you can issue order to the ship that it doesn't follow, it sounds like there is a captain that hasn't appeared visibly yet but that should sort itself.

Regarding the ship not moving, it was slow for me too when I completed that mission at the weekend. What may be the issue could be that it has no fuel (or is trying to refuel). But since the Cell Recharge Fac in the Sector is PMC-owned, it has to wait while it's jumpdrive charges for a fuel-free jump, which can take some time.

If that is the case, I suggest setting the Defense Officer to Defensive (if you have hired one), then telling the ship to refuel and then going off to do something else while the ship charges the jump engine.

Regards,
Sparks

ty i know about that dock and redock the one i replaced just never showed up on my ship. i will try and wait for a free jump as nothing else is working.

i had a ship try to transfer fuel to it but they both just sit there. says waiting for drones, other says executing trade. they both have cargo drones. it did say it didnt have enough fuel to get where i wanted it when i went through the gate which is why i am trying to transfer the fuel. does this take a really long time to do depending on how many drones there are?

Hmm, I'm not familiar with transferring fuel but if both ships are close together, transferring is generally a relatively quick process.

Are the two ships they far apart? Maybe the drones have a long way to fly (they should be visible on the zone map once they are in space).

Finally, if they are close, maybe there is some kind of bug whereby the transfer cannot proceed what the ship is busy trying to charge the engines but I don't know - that is just a guess.

If you could upload a save somewhere, people could take a look in case there are some clues somewhere.

how do i post my save file? i never did anything like that b4.

also the ships are close not touching close but a appropriate distance u would expect safe transfer between the 2. when i click on them none of them say their drones are in use. but i only have a cpt on it atm, do i need a eng and def on it as well? another is maybe its stuck cuz the amount it had at the time was i think 1.3k maybe it used to much and the amount i wanted to trade isnt on there any more so its stuck trying to trade 700 when it only has 600?

I started out using googledrive, which is free, so I keep using that.

Later, I noticed that there are tips in the FAQ about sharing files so they might be helpful to read:

I'm not sure about the questions unfortunately, sorry.
