Transfering Marines

Post by Zalthum » Wed, 5. Jun 13, 06:21

How do I transfer marines from one of my ships to another?

just like freight.

if you have transporters, just get the two ships within 5km of each other, and then select 'advanced -> freight exchange with' from either ship, then move the marines (they'll be at the bottom of your freight list)

if you don't have transporters on the ships (or 1 of them), dock both ships at a dock, and then do the above.

Don't forget to have Cargo Life Support on the receiving ship or your marines won't be happy campers.

Also, only some ship types can carry marines. TS's, M8's, M3's, M4's and M5's can't carry them.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

And always remember to transfer your marines before selling any boarded ships, otherwise it's a very expensive mistake. :shock:

Another expensive mistake is transferring the Cargo Lifesupport System before transferring the marines. If you don't ask me if I've done this before, I won't have to lie. :lol:

Also, NEVER use CLS2 to transfer marines, as all marines from both ships will disappear.
