Linking you Headquarters to other stations

Post by Red_ufo » Sun, 19. May 13, 21:41

How do you link you headquarters to other stations, to centralize things.
What software upgrades do you need to add to your headquarters.

I think I put this In the wrong section, could a mod move this please...thanks.

You cannot directly link a PHQ to other stations or a complex in vanilla games.
A dog has a master; a cat has domestic staff.

I would have thought you could, pity about that.
Is there any other type of stations that you could do It with?

A station has to have a 'link' object so you can add it to a complex. Not all stations have it, like the PHQ, equipment docks or trade-stations.

N indirect link would be to have it in your Hub and link the hub to sectors with your support complexes.

Then it's just a matter of managing the logistics.

Advanced Complex Hub gives you a better hub. It allows you to dock more ships, including a pair of capital ships (theoretically vanilla-safe). It is not quite as free-form as a PHQ, but it is a big improvement over the vanilla hub.

Yeah, I love Saetan's complex hub (confirmed vanilla-safe BTW), though I think I've opted not install it this time around as I'm already cheating by making the gates larger, ringless, & bright red.

You can always link stations with a "transporter bridge" using CLS. Even if it takes a minute or two to set up its frame rate friendly. :-)
