Fighter Question?
« on: January 20, 2005, 08:30:30 pm »
Hye all- don't know if this a known bug or if I'm simply doing something wrong but

Occasionally when I lauch fighters, they kill things and I recover them they seem to get broken?
They go trhough the repair + rearm cycle, then reappear in my launch bay. I go to lauch them
they laucng but immediately land again. Then they go through the rearm cycle again, reappera in shuttle bay
I go to lauch them , they launch and Immediately land again.

I can't seem to get this to repest with any specific ship and/or fighter combo, so I assume Im doing somethign wrong.
Anyone evr had this situation?

weird...  I usually get the "deserter" type of fighter pilots, but you seem to have the "go home to mommy" type.
I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

Are you using quick keys to launch?

If so, you need to change the setting (ie from 'return' to something else) or the fighters will instantly return when launched.

An old one, but still good after all these years... ;)

So just for Hexx's clarification, change the order status of the ftrs b4 u use the hotkey from return to harass or defend or whatnot. ;)
