[TC] How do I homebase a freighter to the Hub?

Post by joefitts63 » Mon, 3. Sep 12, 19:54

I feel certain I am having a brain fart. I can't seem to figure out how to homebase a freighter to the Hub, because I can't find it on the universe map. :?

Dock it at the hub then scroll down its orders list till you reach the homewbase option.
When you hit that one the fist sector it gives as an option is the one the hub is in the rest is easy.
When traveling pause occasionally, look back and enjoy the moment again.

On the Universe Map, the Hub is left of Argon M148 :)
If it doesn't work, give it a kick. If that doesn't fix it hit it with a hammer. If it still doesn't work, USE A BIGGER HAMMER!!!

Unknown Sector..... That's what you get for using Bing instead of Google!

or hit 'i', 'right', 'right' on the universe map[1]

i is for Ianamus Zura, the unknown sector containing the Hub is two sectors to the right. I think nponobeghuk compiled a list of shortcuts for every sector. Don't know if my combination is the most efficient one.

[1] If you feel the urge to shout 'chu' 'chu' 'chu' afterwards you're in the wrong game.

You can't assign a ship to a homebase unless the homebase is in free space. Easy for a station, but awkward if your <carrier> is docked

Ships lose their homebase status if you fly them personally, so remember to reassign your scout's home after you've swapped into it to get it to dock properly :)
