Loading up a TL with energy cells

Post by redisdead » Fri, 15. Nov 13, 11:51

Okay, I haven't played X3 in a long time, and I figured with Rebirths release (haven't gotten it yet, waiting for paycheck), I might as well get back in the groove a bit.

In my lastest playthrough I just bought my very first TL! Yay! Go me!

Transferred a jump drive to it and stuff so I can quickly expand my growing empire and overrun the entire economy with my stations.

Anyway, I forgot how to load it up with energy cells. Plz Halp.

There's the Transfer Freight via Drones thing, but it's all greyed out. I suppose I need drones in the cargo bay, but I can only find Fighter Drones, would these work?

EDIT: Found Freight drones, but I can't figure out how to use them, can't select any station.

EDIT2: Did some more searchin' and it turns out that you just can't. It's either have a TS tag along with jump drive as they can't dock in a TS or get a M3 to transfer cargo 200 units at a time, boo.

Use a TS and a transporter device or dock at an EQ dock with the freighter to transfer freight.

Due to the fact you can put so much jump fuel aboard (I tend to go with 3.2k-5k), then you do not have to refuel very often at all. So using a TS manually isn't very difficult or annoying.

You could also use a TS using CLS2. Either to automatically refuel it anywhere, or when the TL jumps to the same sector as it.

Freight drones should work too. But I'm not 100% on the method.

You are also able to dock a TL at Military Outposts, which sell energy, albeit in limited amounts.
