OrphEum Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Just wondering if there is a ship-specific list of possible upgrades. Also, the non-hostile professions of trader, diplomat, commercial and explorer... those mainly for future online play? Also wondering if there is a way, once probed, to see the surface of a planet in a sector you do not currently occupy. Not to be picky but it seems that after constantly having a few marines pilot my shuttles on mining runs they wreak havok on the SCs. I can't seem to repair them up to 100% unless i myself get in one, dock(starbase) and hit that nifty auto-repair button one gets when in a small ship. The repairs on the SCs in my CC always turn pinkish and the engineers leave the project at around 98%. Any tips on repairing SC's while en route between objectives? How about tips on who to have piloting my SCs? Giving marines toys dosn't seem to be a good idea. =-- Orpheum --= [ 03-18-2002, 22:19: Message edited by: OrphEum ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can only view surface of the planets and moons in the region you're currently in.

The repairs on the SCs in my CC always turn pinkish and the engineers leave the project at around 98%. Did you start repairing in the station? If so, maybe you don't have needed repair parts or minerals to finish the job. Any tips on repairing SC's while en route between objectives? No other than order you engineers to do repairs and make sure you have enough spare parts and repair minerals. How about tips on who to have piloting my SCs? Giving marines toys dosn't seem to be a good idea. You can use your flight engineers to pilot shuttles, I remember someone had tried it and said that it worked better than using marines. =-- Orpheum --= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Wolf33 Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 also if your system engineers are really fatigued they wont do anything...they'll sit around at the work site fiddling around with their wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrphEum Posted March 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hey thanks a lot for the info! One great thing about BC is this forum. I just took out a couple ships and while I sit waiting on repairs another question has come to the surface. Is it, or will it ever be possible to reassign my ship's standard System Engineers to do work while docked at a starbase? Just wondering what my 20 guys are doing at the starbase while others, like the medical officer, are hard at work. =-- OrphEum --= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the moment, but you never know what SC comes up with XP1 Maybe they're at the station crew lobby having a beer and chasing chicks. =-- OrphEum --= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 I don't think ship bound engineers are members of the Engineers Under Station Union Charter, EUSUC. )pronouned, u suck). So, they're not allowed on board the station to do any work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
