MrVorgra Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 After obtaining control of a fighter you can dock with the station and safely purchase: Weapons System Upgrades I am unsure about: Fighters I assume not due to fighters having no hangers Cargo I assume not due to fighters having no cargo Crew The crew are assigned to the fighter, I don't know if they are transferred to the parent ship when the fighter docks This is great for those with big lumbering ships and all you want is that gun or system. If you are unaware you can pilot fighters, you can also manually dock fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeKraken Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Can you explain how to do this exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVorgra Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 When a fighter has been deployed, target the/a fighter and press 'T' to enter it, from there CINEMATIC DOG FIGHTS with other fighters. It can sometimes be a pain to get close enough if your still controlling the parent ship, so try exiting to your drone, they won't run away from that.

JanDemonic Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Just one thing. I have looked and looked and not found how to assign fighters to stations/mines. I have a Hangar with open slots and pilots, but I can't figure out how to get my fighters in to a stationary station or mine? Thanks K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either need to buy them before you turn it into a station, or use a mod that does transfer fighters (which i use, which is great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 What he's saying is that you can take control of a fighter and use that to dock with a station. It's a bit confusing because as landing fighters in a hanger can also be called docking. must admit I too thought you meant stations could use fighters now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19MT70 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Still, being able to use a nimble tiny little fighter to do your turret and upgrade shopping is an amazing plus if you've got a monster size capital ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxumous Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 With do respect this is a bug, fighters you buy, should only be assigned to one thing and that's your ship to fighter other enemy's in space. How ever they may introduce cargo ships for your hangers, this would then collect and retrieve items from space or space stations. This would be something to look forward to, IF Dev introduce this within the game mechanics, again i can only imagine this within the future of development.

Pob Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hardly as anyone can do it via your mining drone, it's a function of the game mechanics, unless they change it so that material and loot take up cargo space we'll always have it. Fighters cannot move cargo or crew about, just like the drone, but materials and loot they can as it's a central pool not bound to a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
