Sorry for posting so much, but I keep thinking of ideas :)

Would it be possible to call your wingmen through a jump point?

This would let people clear an area of enemies then call the cargo through when the area is safe.

Ive found a 100k + trade route but cant defend 4 freighters on my own - I always lose one or two :(

I dont really want to hire an escort ship and lose a freighter and Im capable of fighting 5 enemies but not without losing a ship :(

Damn JonnyBoy,

That sounds like an exciting game you are playing! A good idea as well.

Its your fault lol damn Epitaph war machines :p

Dont suppose you could tell me how to increase my faction with the Golligers Privateers?

Ive given up trying to get through epitaph on my own so I decided to bite the bullet and hire a warship but I cant because my standing with Golligers is not high enough - I cant see them on the faction list though :(:(:(

You should be able to dock to the Golliger station. Is it just traffic that is blocking the docking ports? I will check that out.

Calling your wingmen through? No, if anything it will get harder to get your wingmen past patrols. Your going to have to fight it out. Epitaph is supposed to be deadly! However, we do have smuggler jump routes planned for the future. Those will have a better chance of being unguarded.

Ive been at the Golliger station in Alcuin for 3 (real time) hours now trying to dock every 10 mins or so while I work on my laptop but its always full. Ive also tried jumping between systems and coming back but its always full.

Thanks for the replies

Jon

This happens because the ships on the dockports i think are stuck, and have no AI telling them to leave. Rather than waiting 3 hours, fly 1000k away from the station, save the game, then reload. This resets everything. Fly back, and the dockports will be open. Works every time. :D
