Fractux Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 I'm roaming around in a L-FIGHTER, and one thing that bugs me is that I can't check what my charge level is, except when docking with a station. Now is there a way to check this in flight that I'm not aware of?Also, someimtes it seems the station [friendly] recharges my craft after 5minutes, and sometimes my craft doesn't seem to get recharged. What's up with that?Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractux Posted November 30, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 BTW, i've never flown long enough to run out of power, but after 20 minutes or so I got it down to ~63% I believe.[ 11-30-2001: Message edited by: Fractux ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with that? Not sure if stations work the same way as the CC, but a number of things can affect whether a returning FC is re-armed and recharged after docking. Assuming there is no damage to the FC (which is dealt with the the Systems Engineers first), the Flight Officer must be on-station for Flight Engineers to be automatically assigned to ready the FC. Also, the necessary charging system must be on line, etc. If the FO is not on-station (or maybe too stupid to do his job yet), then you can manually assign up to two Flight Engineers per craft through the Tactical computer.Hope this helps...

Fractux Posted November 30, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 I think you may have misunderstood the context I'm speaking about.I'm talking about a carrer as a fighter pilot, not as a BC commander flying a fighter.So I can only dock at stations, since I'm not affiliated with any BC. In station, I have to reload my missiles manually.But there is no place to say "charge my craft" or assign anyone to it since there is no other crew but myself and no way to assign anyone to anything.Cheers!

Mitchell Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 I understand, but since I haven't tried a pilot career yet I was now sure whether you had access to the Logistics computer while docked at a station. On the commander career you can access the logistics operations, and use the station's parts, etc. (at least, if you and the station are both GALCOM), while docked.Could teh delay you're experiencing have to do with re-arming or repairing the craft? What about the health/status of the station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractux Posted November 30, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 As far as my damage goes, so far I've come out of all my engagements without a scratch. The only damage I have is my TAC comp because i hit the A key by accident while on planet I smaked into the ground. I'll go an repair that and see what the readouts are.For stations, they were all at 100% operation, no damage.I think it may even be a visual bug, actually. Because if i launch at 70%power [according to the station] and dock right away, my power is back up to 100%.Now, what I can't say for sure is if I'm getting charged up right away the second time I dock, or before I left the first time.... I guess the SC would have to answer this one, but I think it's logical to assume I'm getting charged up when I leave.Anywho, it'd still be nice to be able to see pwr levels in flight.Cheers![ 11-30-2001: Message edited by: Fractux ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
