LOL!!! Talk about run-by posting; they're just as bad as drive-by shootings hey, rather than start a new post, I'll just jump in here. I lost one of my drones for 2 days! and I had a lot of trouble getting the SC to drop the drone, one thing on waypoints, it seems to help he you setposition a few of them on the suface , spaced a part: wp1 proceed to next wp2 deploy drone wp3 RTB , it must take time for the SC to clear its previous wp or something , so having it fly a small loop seems to help. I thought I would leave the WPs as a location marker for the Drone , but they go away , dissappear, gone...
Second I found I could relocate my drone if I made it a priority target , that also only worked once. apparently the drones get removed from the priority list after docking?
Does "extract" mean the SC will pick up the drone or does that mean the CC telaports the drone? I am confused on that... For somereason even with my other SCs picking up and dropping off on the earth the overhead view and the "Zoom to" thingie would not show the drone on the surface, I only found it when I physical "landed" my AE on the surface in an SC.
It seems to me the "zoom to" should have been able to see any of my "support craft" on the surface. hey 3 days of straight play , I am really having a fun time. great SIM... John in Indianapolis
