Topic: Ships with 24 drogues on them?

[Lepton1]

I have seen a posting on the SFC2.net forums claiming there are some ships that can carry 24 drogues.  I think there may be a commuincation problem occurring here as I thought only one drogue was permitted per ship.  Maybe we could use a restatement  of this rule if I indeed have it right.

You can BUY the 24 drogues, if you've got the cash to spend.  But when you try to launch them they will simply vanish.  (along with your PP.)  Bascially, don't try it.

Basically, ships that use the PF engine can only buy a single drogue and this works fine.  Carrier ships use the fighter engine, and they don't like trying to launch PF's.  It's a rule that takes care of itself.

But, just in  case someone has found a hole in the game logic, I'll restate here:  No more than one drogue per ship.  Ever.

It's true...I can definitely attest to this fact.  It happened to me because I forgot about drogues and didn't know which were drogues and which were fighters.


I learned very quickly the error of my ways!
