Question : Claim Xenon Ships + Where is the ship replacement feature ?

[Starman01]

Hi all,

please answer me these two questions i haven't figured out a solution after 7.0

1) The new xenon ships (F, B, SE etc.) can be claimed by me if I fly over in my spacesuit. But I cannot claim them with marines. Am I doing something wrong (using a troop transport and use right click menu "claim"), or is this a missing feature / oversight ?
2) I have read that after 7.5 there is a function to automatically replace lost subordinate ships ? Not sure if Vanilla or Mod, but I can't seem to find the function. Is it automatic, or is there a setup menu somewhere ?

Thanks for any insights into these matters

I claimed a ton (literally over 100) of F's, B's and SE's with marines but I was in a Moreya every time.

In hindsight though doing it that way meant I had to replace pretty much all the weapons that got destroyed in the process so doing it yourself, while taking longer in the short term, is probably the better option especially if you don't have Xenon tech yet and resources to spare.

Xenon ships should be claimable by marines. You need to be in range and you need to have marines onboard. They're not special in that regard. Not that low skill marine will result in some equipment breaking, and to replace lost weapons you'll need xenon equipment research which requires data shard. The research I'd say has a moderate cost.
