Curious M6 problem..

Post by Turnus » Wed, 23. May 12, 03:34

Ummm, yeah... Are you not able to mix racial technology or something cause I bought a centaur and was planning on placing a Boron scout ship (small M5) but the dock option does not appear so i'm wondering if you can only use discoverers with it and not other racial equivalents...?

The Centaur cannot dock any fighters at all

The M5 is a scout ship centaur can dock scouts, or at least it could in X2... I'm playing X3 Reunion.

Edit: Damn if that' the case there goes my quick trade shabam... I used to use the Centaur as a free jumpdrive and then use my scout to get supplies and or scout, made for quick weapon gathering.

I didn't know it could dock an M5 in X2. Regardless, the Centaur cannot dock any ships as of X3R and later games

The Hyperion can . . .
Maverick: Requesting permission for flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
Goose: No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
Maverick: Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz a Split.
Split: Split now give you .... Aaaarrriiiigh.

In X2 docking was more extensive, M6s could dock M5s, TLs could dock TSs.

X3R is the other extreme, M6s (except Hyperion) can't dock anything, no ships can dock TSs.

Hyperion was an M7 in Reunion.

Pretty sure that ship doesn't exist in X3R.

If I remember correctly in X2, M6 could only dock in shipyards and eq docks. In X3 you can dock your Centaur everywhere

Yeah, X3 was the one that introduced external docking to other stations.
