wingmen and jump drives

Post by lordphelan » Mon, 6. Nov 06, 15:18

can you make your wingmen follow youif you jump??

i have 2 wingmen in m4's that both have drives and plenty of cells, but the just fly after me if i jump sectors. Is there any way to make them jump too. Would be eally handy when jumping in to fent of enemies.

try using the jump command from your command console instead of using shift+j

Another question along the same lines...

Say i've got a UT with jump drive etc, and 4/5 wingmen all with jump drives assigned to protect him - will they jump along with him or not?

They will ... until they'll run out of fuel.

Is there a script available to make sure they don't?

For example, by making them use the trader's energy supply instead?

I've seen requests for this before, but I can't think of any script specifically designed for this.

Xai Corporation's Group Management system is designed to automatically buy energy when docked at a solar power plant, so that might provide some chance of them refueling. I don't know how effective that would be though. You'd need the trader to trade in Ecells a lot.

Yeah that's not really any good because it would limit the energy cells my trader could carry from 9000 to 150. :P

I'm really looking for something to keep em going without the docking as my trader does dock but only when it runs out of energy itself (which is hardly ever).

the mercenies guild allows you to hire protection, and they will keep stock of energy cells and jump with the trader to protect them
