How do these work exactly? I can buy a new ship and create a fleet with it, but how do these work?

Basically, if you buy a new ship from the equipment screen (NOT from the Ship Dealer floor), and do not deliberately sell your old ship, then your old ship is put into storage at the base where you are currently located. At any future time, you can choose to "buy" the ship back (for free if you are at the same base, or you pay a transport fee if you want it brought to you elsewhere). This allows you to equip one ship of each type and swap them out when you wish--for example you might want a Galaxy for trading and a Demon or Centurion for the heavy fighting.

When you select a saved game it shows the data for the game on the right. This includes all your ships and their location though if there are multiple bases in that area it doesn't say which one. It is true, unfortunately, that when you view your fleet it doesn't tell you at all where your ships are located. I find the best thing to do is try to keep them all at one base, usually perry or new constantinople because you can buy the most upgrades there. Plus once you really get the cash flowing, paying the transport fee isn't that big of a deal.

Good way to build a fleet (A VERY STRONG ONE) is to capture the cat ships, the onle with back turrets for example is in my opinion the best fighter in the game (high energy recover and strong guns), however if ur using a drayman, ull need to release them for fighting each time u capure one, once it ocupies 3/4 of the cargo (this problem doesnt occurs with paradigm i think)
good luck if u try
good luck if u try

Gothri - I don't know if they keep their ace pilot rating after capture but I agree that they are the strongest fighters in the game.Bengol wrote:Good way to build a fleet (A VERY STRONG ONE) is to capture the cat ships, the onle with back turrets for example is in my opinion the best fighter in the game (high energy recover and strong guns), however if ur using a drayman, ull need to release them for fighting each time u capure one, once it ocupies 3/4 of the cargo (this problem doesnt occurs with paradigm i think)

Now im confused hehe
I got my paradigm when killed the drone, but when i started using some wingmen i got confused here...
-Kinda when u buy *.blank ships and use them as wingmen (stilleto not milspec for example), do they get weapons to fire at enemies?
-How can i know the skill of my wingmen? (Some of them seem to be very, VERY dumb)
thx a lot
