So i want some Wingmen along my side.. how do i do it?

[Mistyevening]

Although my M7 looks and feels like immortal.. this ain't the case..

I want 5x Eclipses on my wing.. any newbie info out there to do this?

..i've spent most of my time in this game trading so i have no idea of this kind of things..

I need this info for some backup.. and future sector patrolling

Any info alot appreciated.

You first need to assign ships as wingmen, this can be done in the ships properties "command window". Scroll down and you will see an option for Winman, and you want to set this to yes.

Once you've done that with a few, you can then get them to protect you (Shift+6) or attack your target (Shift+7). If they are protecting or following you they will also jump with you as well (but only if you select jump from your navigation menu).

As for getting thinga extremely hard... .. how on earth do i assign ships for patrols and wingmens for those?

You can't set ships to be wingmen for any ship other than the one you're currently flying. What you CAN do is give them an order like "Protect...my M7", in which case they'll attack anything that lands a hit on your shiny Hyperion.

Be prepared for some losses........wingmen make great cannon fodder.

Hmm, I accidently sucseeded on making wingmen out of my 3 captured L's to my OOS Elephant.

I think it has something to do with me setting the ellie as theyr homebase =).. atleast they have the "W" logo =)
