Change Ship after joining Game

[EquiNoX]

Hi,

anyone has an idea how the ship is determined, in which i start if i join my game?

I saw a lot of different suggestions on the steam, so i thought i better ask here before building a new ship ;)

first suggestion was: ship is defined alphabetically, first letter in alphabet is stating ship.

Worked pretty well in the beginning, i renamed my miner to "XX_(Number) Miner" and always joined in my Main Ship.

But now it dont work anymore, since i build a new ship with a "lower" letter as the first letter. But this ship was only one block for testing purposes. when i rejoin my game i still start with my Main ship, and not with my test ship with the lower letter.

second suggestion was: ship is randomly choosen from all your ships in the sector.

This seems wrong too, since i rejoined my game about 6-7 times and i always started in my Main ship (i had 3 other ships in that sector)

 

Is it possible, that the starting ship is determined by the ship volume (ship value?)?

Moved this to Gameplay Discussions. I think it's more appropriate here, even though it's a bug/not yet correctly implemented :)

It seems to be fairly random to me. I've ended up in one of my factories.

 

Tip for when this happens: Select the ship you want to be in from your fleet window and order it to escort the factory. Then just wait for it to show up :)

 

Of course this means you need a captain on board, but I'm going to assume you put captains on all your ships, just in case.. You do put captains on all your ships just in case, right?  ;)
