how to make ships supplying a base use jumpdrive

Post by alexdefelice » Sun, 25. Sep 11, 17:04

Hello again to my favorite online community.

I'm laid up for a few days with a broken elbow (mountain biking). What better way to spend my recovery time then to once again get lost in the X-Universe?

My question is one that I feel I should know after playing the game for so long, but can't figure out. Let's say I have a factory that requires a large number of resources.

The Xenon Hub, for example.
I want to have the ships that supply the base to use their jumpdrive, rather than simply flying around getting killed. I know there must be a way to do this.

Many thanks!

Ships in TC have an auto-supply feature, where they stock up on the set wares everytime they dock.
Of course, the station / carrier must have the wares in stock.

They also have an autojump feature, which makes them jump if the distance is greater than specified.

If you connect the dots...

Oh... I thought auto-jump was just when they got attacked...

That is called Emergency Jump.
