Recovering satellites

Post by Cowski » Tue, 31. Jan 12, 03:18

Any way to recover a navrelay satellite? I tried flying within about 30m of it and nothing. I have the space for it.

Thanks.

to pick up something you have to run into it, like crates. try running into it. if it explodes then no, you cant recover it. I seem to recall recovering a regular navsat by doing that. but i tried it with an advanced stat and it just damaged it. that sat still has hull dmg above my missile plex in mines of fortune.

I did accidentally run into one time, my freighter took a lot of shield damage and ironically the navsat didn't sustain any! LOL. But I did pull away from it pretty quickly.

I'll save the game, head to it, slowly run into it and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. Stay tune!! :wink:

TC and AP you just run into them (possibly Reunion as well cant remember)
But the earlier games you need to open cargo hold "o" key if i remember correctly.

Would help if we knew what game your playing.

Then provided you have the space in your hold you just need to run ito it.
