EV Nova Carriers
« on: December 22, 2016, 12:08:52 PM »

Dumb Question:

It seems that I have maxed out on regulars escorts so I bought a new carrier. Problem is: I don't know how to deply them and I think I have all the required outfits for fighters. Is there a hotkey to deply them?

It's been a while but I remember them being secondary weapons? You buy the bay (and the fighters) and then deploy in the same way you would fire a missile. There is a hot key for recalling them I believe.

Still have a running copy after all these years, went and checked.

EV fighters are indeed secondary weapons. You deploy them by 'firing' them like any other secondary weapon (use W to cycle to them in your secondary weapons, then secondary fire), and then give them commands.
