Tyrn Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 I had just given all shuttles waypoint orders to collect drones from the surface when a warmonger decided to show me how quickly ramming another ship can cause a reactor breach. After cleaning up the warmonger, shuttle 1 launched and headed for the surface. I countered the orders and issued tow BC orderts to the shuttle. As soon as the shuttle engaged its tractor beam, it issued a RTB to the nearest Ter/Mil starstation. I jumped over to the shuttle and sure enough, my BC no longer showed anywhere on the scope. Jumping back to the BC, I could see the shuttle with no problem.The same thing happened when I issued cargosweep orders to a shuttle and then issued a tow BC order. If you're going to tow your BC, make sure your shuttle does not have any collect orders or it will desert you.I would rate this right up with forgetting to shut down launch control when a bunch of freeloading hitch-hikers beam aboard to joy ride in one of the shuttles except that I can still switch to an AWOL shuttle's computer console and issue "Evac" orders remotely. That's the last time I hire cut rate Flight Engineers, I can guarantee that!------------------ Randolf Carter Commander - UCV Kadath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
