Spiny Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 You've probably all seen this before, but here goes anyway... Ever find that your CC is too slow for serious trading but an SC can't hold enough cargo? The solution? Take all of your shuttles! [*]Assign a marine to each shuttle and the AE to SC1. [*]Launch all shuttles. [*]Order the other shuttles to escort SC1. [*]Go to your "buying" starstation and pick up some goodies. [*]Order all SCs to halt. [*]Fly over to the nearest shuttle. [*]Jump ship. That's right, take a spacewalk. [*]Dock and get some more goodies. [*]Repeat until all shuttles are full. [*]Order the other shuttles to escort you. [*]Fly to your "selling" starstation. I think you can work the rest out for yourself. Don't you just love the way this game rewards lateral thinking?

Eclipse Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Jastacar, basically it sounds line he is using a caravan. instead of trading with only one shuttle he uses all of them and has them follow him to the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruis.In Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 1. Placez un fusilier marin ├á l'int├®rieur de toutes vos navettes et mettez VOTRE caract├¿re dans une navette. 2. Lancez toutes les navettes 3. Faites toutes les navettes escorter l'un l'autre 4. Allez ├á un poste et achetez des articles. faire du commerce 5. Donnez un ordre pour tous vos navettes pour arr├¬ter. 6. Sortez le navette dans que vous ├¬tes, et promenade d'espace ├á un autre 7. D├®barquez au poste et achetez plus d'articles. 8. R├®p├®tez, jusqu'├á ce que chaque navette soit plein 9. Faites toutes les navettes escorter l'un l'autre 10. Volez ├á un poste o├╣ vous vendez aux articles. est-ce que cela aide?

dreadx Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Faster still. Dock your CC at one of the stations. Load up all your shuttles, undock your CC, launch SH's and then use the trade-caravan trick. Park your CC at the supply station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jascatar Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 You can already use a shuttle to tow your CC I think you gain more time maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
