Wanted: Armada Pilot
« on: May 02, 2015, 01:50:56 AM »

I'm not sure if its working as intended, but I'm able to fly my armada of 17 ships (8 cereberus, 2 mules, 4 stables, 2 basileus, 1 leviathan) with just ONE crew member....and 3 supplies.

There is no reduction in burn speed or cargo capacity.

The only reduction is the combat rating, which is fine since I don't plan on fighting anyway.

So.....is that normal?  o.o;

ships have "auto pilot" on them, just like modern day naval vessels, you dont need a crew for the ship to exist, but there wont be anybody to maintain them, or make them combat capable or even repair battle damage and what not.

Oh yeah that makes sense.

I forget that I'm the captain of the ships.  >_>

But it's funny that when I lost my supplies, suddenly there's malfunctions happening across my ships.  As if one single supply, lasting for months, would keep 17 or more ships in working order.  I'm not sure if that would make sense in a lore standpoint.

Anyway....off to make more money! :D

No more spare parts to repair a transfer skiff? Well just appropriate some other parts from other machines, I am sure it will be 100% safe when we transfer munitions and fuel to other ships!

Look, that this thrusters minimum rated power is three times greater than the other three's maximum power doesn't anything. A thrusters a thruster, am I right?

Thinking like a true man that was sold for less credits than a cannon.
