How to land on a M6 ?

Post by kzwix » Sat, 9. Jul 11, 01:11

I'm doing the Bala Gi missions, and I found the Yatch. I also got the Paranid M6 which was nearby. Like all (or most, at least) M6, its description states that it can hold a M5, which can act as a shuttle, or whatever...

Well, I don't know how to dock a M5 on that damn M6. I tried ordering from the M6, I tried piloting the M5 myself, even tried "calling" for landing authorization, but I couldn't find how to do it.

I found a way to "base" the M5 on the M6, in the orders, but then, when I ask it to come back to base, it doesn't move...



So, please, how does it work ?

M5s docking to M6s is a throw back from X2 unless you are playing with a mod as back then M6s could only dock at shipyards and eqyipment docks
those UFOs you hear about are just what you tried to explaine to me going over my head
Advanced Complex-Hub you know you need it Catta Fett's D.O.G.S Vanilla safe mod collectionyou don't need them but you want them

Errr... So, you mean I *cannot* dock a M5 on a M6, unless I mod my game, right ?

Yep. I assume you're talking about X3 : Reunion. So the M5 docking on M6 doesn't exist. The only M6 on which you can dock fighters (M5, M4, M3, M3+) is the Hyperion. (the Yacht of the pontifex maximus paranidia) No other can do it.

Exactly. The only M6 that can dock any fighters is the Hyperion.

Thanks for those replies.

Damn, why did they botch this game that much ?! The least they could have did would be to modify such texts, so as not to feed false information... Grrrr, I hate the crappy finishing of this game.

Which in X3R (as it appears that's the game being discussed here) was an M7 :p

iirc , that M6 was a Nemesis.
I used to enjoy crushing smaller enemies in it's Pincer-like front :twisted:

also the Yacht (Hyperion M7) was far more powerful in Reunion , than it's M6+ counterpart in TC.
