Squads?

[Ethentianknight]

I have a squad now of miners. How do I deploy/use them to mine?

[gn_leugim]

there should be there a "fighter" like icon on your left side of the screen, that represents your squad. Select the asteroid you want them to mine and click on that said icon (probably you need to press Shift to use the cursor) and it will open a menu. press the swords crossed and they should go.

I noticed that, but when I click on the swords, they do not deploy.

Mostly figured it out.

You need pilots for ships (hired specifically as pilots).

My ship design didn't leave a large enough opening for drones. I built a new ship that left the hangars open to space on one side.

Now i can deploy.

Only qualm is that when i say "xanion miners, attack xanion rock", they just do backflips and sick loops. No mining.

That's a glitch I think, that I have been to report.

 

Laser type weapons are not displaying in the "fighters". I have some laser fighters who do do damage to the enemies, but no laser is seen. Also, a Salvaging fighter does destroy wrecks and collects items from them, but no salvaging laser seen.

Noting that i gain no resources from the miners, this is not just a graphical issue.

I'll try myself and see.

 

EDIT: Nop, with me is working fine, although the mining eff. is not the best, but he can mine

 

Have you checked the material of the miner and the material you are trying to mine?

Xanion to Xanion.

Then I don't know what else to say. I haven't tried with one Xanion one, but the titanium one I used worked well. (apart from the missing laser)
