Shields Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hello again, I purchased a reactor upgrade (Lattex/NB) to replace the basic Lattis/NB which I believe is jumping the inter-level Megatron. The CC's system engineers didn't install the upgrade automatically so I attempted (unsuccessfully)to find a way to order them to do it through the Tacom and Logistix computers. My questions are: 1) Can you jump levels of upgrade? 2) Is the upgrading done by the CC's engineers automatically in their own sweet time? 3) If they have to be ordered, how does one do it?

Cmdr Nova Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 You've gotta manually tell them to upgrade it through Logistix. Not all ships accept all upgrades. And yes, you can jump upgrades. Go to Logistix->Craft->CC, and I think it's in Deck 3. Click on the Nuclear Reactor (N/Reactor). On the left repair panel there's a subheading that reads "Upgrade". Click on the new part. The new part will be put into the ship, but will only be operational at 50%. You'll have to "repair" it (more like finish the installation) by assigning engineers to it. (The dialog section for that comes up automatically after the upgrade dialog.) The more engineers you assign to work on it, the quicker the thing goes.

Tyrn Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 See sections 5.3 (pages 50-52) and section 11.1 (pg 90) of the manual for detailed directions (page numbers are for the BCMG manual, the BCM manual should use the same section numbers).

Most Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I had the same question last night. I bought the upgrade to the Reactor and when i logged into logistix to install, the upgrade button did not light up(white text). Is there more that i need to buy other than the replacement Reactor, ie reactor coolant, repair kit...any help would be appreciated. And trust me i've read the manual and used Search as u can see.

Cmdr Nova Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 No. You only need the reactor upgrade itself. If your ship can't accept that kind of reactor, you can't upgrade it. Try another type of reactor. Out of curiosity: what ship, and what reactor are you upgrading to? You cannot upgrade the solar reactor. (S/REACTOR) You upgrade the nuclear reactor, marked N/REACTOR in Logistix. The data files for the ships show what upgrades are allowed, by item number. Perhaps someday, there'll be a mini guide to what upgrades you can get on what ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 It is...and thats why i dont understand why it wouldn't let me upgrade it. I'm not at home now but when i go to lunch i'll bring back the info. But my ship is a BattleCruisermk2 and i think i was trying to update the reactor to Numega...not sure...just going off memory now.

Eclipse Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 were you still docked at the station when you tried to upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 I was still at the Station, does that make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Try starting the upgrade after leaving the station. (this is assuming you have checked to see if your craft can support this upgrade). Sometimes stations don't seem to like upgrading systems for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
