This week's FAQ

Dear all, We've come up with a FAQ based on the new build and hope that it'll help resolve some issues here and there...

Q: How is it that I'm able to recruit officers like Candace Umara or Thomas Lock in a single battle playing as NSAU?

Ans: Some characters are allowed to crossover to other factions to be commanders. As such they will come with their originally designated ships of a faction.

Q: I recruited Candace Umara and put some NSAU ships under her. Why can't I request for fighters anymore?

Ans: The short answer to this is - UNC ships and NSAU ships share the same button racks for requests. As a UI rule, button racks occupied by more than 1 type of buttons will not be shown. We'd recommend against doing it this way. Instead, move Candace to a NSAU ship and create a fleet with them without her original UNC Carrier.

Q: How come I can request for UNC fighters and bombers from a NSAU/SS shipyard?

Ans: This is allowed as a matter of in-game convenience. Canonically, this is not allowed since each of the factions do not have the plans or materials required to build the fighters from other factions. Of course, we could have excluded faction-based shipyards completely but that'll probably piss you off to no end because there's no way to CAPTURE shipyards.

Q: Why did my NSAU commander appear on a UNC ship?

Ans

This is not possible. All officers come with designated ships of their faction.

The only possibility is as follow

1) You recruit a NSAU commander 2) You recruit Candace Umara / Thomas Lock ,etc and they came with a UNC Carrier / Frigate. 3) You select all ships and create a fleet with the NSAU commander. Officers when given an appointment in the game, will be aided by its personal AI that calculates requests such as ship request, order request, as well as taking care of the officer's well-being by upgrading automatically to a better ship OR evacuating from a dying ship to another ship just to survive. So don't be surprised to see an officer onboard another ship - this works as long as the ship has better hit points.

Conclusion

Thus we conclude this week's FAQ. More FAQs to come every week! Regards, Jeremy
