Having trouble taking a naval asset for a joyride

[Guest kenny87]

I tried taking over some friendly naval assest today (carriers, cruisors, destroyers, gunboats) but each time I tried to dock it would say: "Invalid docking target".

I'm a terran/commander with about 1200ep, it says 500 in the version control file so what am I missing/doing wrong?

Edit: I've tried docking in both a shuttle and fp mode.

You can't dock with them using crafts. You have to be in fp mode in order to asset switch to them.

And even then you can't move them. Only use their guns etc.

I tried FP mode aswell (mentioned that in the edit), so i'm putting it down to either it requiring more than 500ep to take control or I'm not doing something right.

What I was doing was either beaming down using the transporter or exiting my shuttle on the deck of a Naval Carrier

Targeting the Carrier using the Die

Attempting to board using alt-d or /

Just tried it. Works fine. alt+d is different from the command used for asset switching. In fact, I tried it on a carrier and was able to switch to all of its turrets etc.
