M2 as a Wingman

Post by NOO3TASTIC » Sat, 2. Jun 07, 13:57

Hi all...

I have a question? Is there anyway to assign M2 ships as wingmen. So that when I jumpt to Khaak Sector other M2 ships owned by me should also jump there. I just want to check if 4 or 5 M2 Ships will even the odds in Khaak/Xenon Sectors.

Only fighters can be wingmen.
It's a TURRET, not a "turrent". Learn to spell.

I recommend ordering them to jump before you start charging jump drive.

Followers do jump with you except if you use the keyboard shortcut for jumping your personal ship.

Absolutely correct, if a ship is following you or protecting you regardless of class it will also jump with you as long as you use the ships navigation commands on your ship to jump. The shortcut (shift+j) wont allow any ships protecting,following, or as wingmen to jump with you.

Thanks for replies guys...
I will try Command Console for jumping in Khaak/Xenon Sector.

BTW how does that formation order work? I cant notice any difference in formations b/w Pyramid/Dragon Claw/Shield and other formation previews. Am I doing something wrong?

You set that in the leader of the formation. The escorts use it. But do not expect Capital ship escorts to be good at staying in formation. Too much collision avoidance.
