Need help with Aldring Expansion: Tow Mobile Mining Base-Ship

Post by Uzza » Sat, 8. May 10, 16:57

Ok so apparently I'm supposed to tow this Tokyo in disguise to Aldrin 2, but how do I do that?

I've got a tractor beam and have pulled it to the gate, but when I jump through obviously it doesn't follow.
I even tried pulling it through the gate manually without luck.

So how am I supposed to move it to another system?

Ther best method would be to let the autopilot do the work, your ship passes rhough the gate and a few seconds later the other ship comes trhough and TB reattaches itself automatically.
That is if it works and the traffic isn't crazy.
In my game I did the TUS3 > TUS1 without much problems, auto pilot or not, but it took me 1hour+ to take the TUS1 > Aldrin 2 gate with a crazy amount of blossoms camping the Aldrin 2 side I had to ram and destroy a huge amount to free the way and even so I only finished the mission by pure chance.
Good Lck, you'll need it.

Thanks for the advise!
I just ordered the autopilot to jump through the gate, and it waited on the other side for the TL.
Did the same to Aldrin 2 without any trouble at all.

So what am I going to do with another TL now...

Well...Mobile mine ? :)
I used 2 Ryus and 2 MMBS to build my complexes, but having more would have been better, as it takes a while to keep going back and forth.

Well considering that, thanks to the ATF shipyards mod, I have a Valhalla to equip I'd definitely need to make a Terran weapons complex sometime in the future.
I still don't have all the weapons I need for my Osaka!
