[X2] A m2 Can'T CARRY a TS ship ?!
HI there ..
I've recently bought a Paranid Oddy and ..of course i want it "geared up" with full lasers and shields . Bought a boron dolphin so i can dock stations and buy all the necessary things...but it seeems that i cannot dock the Oddy ! so...the m2 ships can't carry TS ships or is it just the oddy :-s ?! So now i'm supposed equip my destroyer by ejecting the shields and lasers from the boron and picking them up with my destroyer ? ..it's insane i tell you ! THx in advance

General gameplay question should be asked in the X-Universe forum, where I just moved your topic to.
**moved**
None of the M2s has docking possibilites for TS class ships. M2 ships are destroyers. They need all their space for weapon and shield generators and bays, crew's quarters and the like. For small supplies you can dock a few fighters (M5, M4, M3) though. For bigger supplies you need other ships in your fleet to jump in, when necessary. For that reason a Transporter Device is a good investment. You can also transfer goods by docking your Odysseus together with your Dolphin at the same station, for example at a shipyard and transferring the freight then.
You can dock TS ships to TL and M1 class ships only.

Dock them both at a Shipyard/Equipment Dock and forget the transporter device?
IIRC:-
IIRC:-
- M2/M6 only have external docks so can only dock fighters (M6 I think is limited to an M5).
- M1/TL have internal docks and can dock Fighter/TS/TP/GO.

The transporter device is an incredibly useful thing to have anyway, though--for instance, if you want to top up your M2 with jumpdrive energy, the easiest way to do it is to jump in a TS containing e-cells and use the transporter device to transfer them over. If you had to find a sector with a shipyard (M2s can't dock at EQ docks in X2, IIRC) to do that transfer it would be a royal pain.Roger L.S.

The OP had recently bought the Oddy so finding a Shipyard should not be that hard.pjknibbs wrote:The transporter device is an incredibly useful thing to have anyway, though--for instance, if you want to top up your M2 with jumpdrive energy, the easiest way to do it is to jump in a TS containing e-cells and use the transporter device to transfer them over.

The "forget the transporter device" part of my comment was just pointing at the lack of specific necessity for it in this instance. I agree that they are useful devices.

As others have said, in X2, all M2s are limited to carrying a small number of fighters (be grateful - that ability was removed in X3). I used to carry a single Goner ship on the Titan that served as my flagship back then for the purpose of refueling, as I seem to remember that they had the biggest cargo bay of anything that could dock with it.
If you want to do it in the field that's the best way. If you're just doing logistics and prepping for an action, what you really want to do is have the Xenon Hub, or an Equipment Dock, or your HQ -- something that you control, you can set the ware prices at, and capitals can dock at, and then stockpile energy, missiles and whatever ammo you need, and periodically dock your ship at that stockpile.pjknibbs wrote:The transporter device is an incredibly useful thing to have anyway, though--for instance, if you want to top up your M2 with jumpdrive energy, the easiest way to do it is to jump in a TS containing e-cells and use the transporter device to transfer them over.

Not player-owned ones, though. And that's what I think pjknibbs was referring to in this case.Baratheon79 wrote:Equipment docks existed, but if I remember correctly, an M6 was the biggest ship that could dock at them.pjknibbs wrote:None of which existed in X2, last time I checked...?Imgran wrote:what you really want to do is have the Xenon Hub, or an Equipment Dock, or your HQ
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
