Howdy,
tractor beam on llama?
cargo delivery to shp in gravity well... d key lands me on the planet instead. I kind of liked the "needle in a haystack" feeling, trying to track this guy down to deliver the cargo?
will try turning off shaders to kkep my game from crashing...
will try shift-m to bring up the navcomp...
any way to hot key targets/nav points?
thanks in advance,
Kev!

Re: Can't have a tractor beam on a llama? and other question
A Llama can have a light tractor beam, you probably need to buy the tractor ability for the specific weapon slot first though (in the weapon enhancements category).
For hot-keying, Alt-1, Alt-2, alt-3 etc stores it, Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 etc recalls it. It only works until you quit the game though, then you lose your location bookmarks.

Which version? SVN head?
I seem to recall disabling ships as cargo delivery targets...

Re: Can't have a tractor beam on a llama? and other question
This one got fixed in SVN - you'll end up on the ship if you're in its docking area ("READY"), otherwise will be docked to planet. Since docking request can be done via separate button, it's really useful.Kev! wrote: cargo delivery to shp in gravity well... d key lands me on the planet instead.
Aside of targetting slots, nav targets can be simply clicked on the system map: "shift-M", select whatever you want, and it's targetted. Shift and zoom with mouse, "2D/ortho/3D" button to choose projections... Of course, there are always piles of clustered locations, but between zooming on selected and PickTarget on the way there it's usually possible to navigate even without cycling the whole Significant Target list ("n").Kev! wrote: any way to hot key targets/nav points?
