Can we have wingmen in the game?
Hi All,
I notice that we can actually purchase fighters in the commercial/trading screen.
Are there just part of our cargo or they are actually can be used as wingmen?
Please help.
Thanks.
Regards

P.S. You have to have a drayman or some other cap ship.
Currently, i have 2 ships in my cargo hold. I have modified my Centurion to have 5000 cargo hold space.
how to hire wingmen to pilot my extra ships in cargo hold?

how to launch them? i bought two centurions in my cargo hold, and also i have kill a retro and use tractor beam to take in his damaged talon ship.
beside selling the talon ship can i repair it and use it as my wingman?

Ctrl+a to attack your target, ctrl+h to help you. For more read the manual. Note that your wingmen are a lot dumber than the ki foes.
there is a game manual specially made for remake 1.2? where to get it?

by the way i read the manual. it say when picking up prisoner you press M and then press alt+s??? but i thot using tracking beam can haul in the prison??? i done that thru tractor beam. alt+s does not seem to work.

You can tractor in everything if you hack. But it won't be useful - I once tractored in an empty navpoint (without hacking btw), I sold it for 10 creds. Nothing you can do with that, except of dropping it elsewhere when it's still in your hold, e.g. in Pender's Star, so you'll have a navpoint avoiding the asteroids. But I'm not sure if it's still there after save/load.

i really got hook again by this game!!!! with all these "modifications" available i can actually spend months doing testing and playing to have fun.
oh yeah cause i didnt know i can actually tractor in "live ship". i found this out by accident. i was fighting a group of talon. all my guns were on including the tractor beam which i didnt notice it is on. suddently i hear this tractor beam sound. when i landed on the mining station i saw there is a talon in my cargo hold and thats got me thinking can i tractor in ships?? next round i when to take on a hunting mission. so instead of killing all the ships i haul them in with my tractor beam. but i got problem with the kamesh. so i change the units.csv in gemini gold to make centurion.begin to have 100000 cargo space and save the game and load that in remake. I went to cap ship hunt again and i manage to haul in a paradigm haha. what a discovery.
