Assigning a FAC to a PDC (or something with 1000 hangar)
« on: November 08, 2009, 01:18:30 AM »
I don't normally build FACs but I decided to add a 1000 capacity hangar to my PDCs so I could assign a single FSC (Fast Scout Craft - no weapons, just enough range to intercept a contact and scan it before it gets near the colony).

Thing is, I can not find anyway of 'docking' the FAC inside the PDC - am I missing something? I can work with fighters fine!

As Waresky stated,  F6 Ships screen is the only way.  FAC/Gunships functionally are just parasite ships within Aurora and currently don't have a flotilla/squadron assignment capability.

Thanks folks, got it to work - and then realized that I was using v4.5 instead of the latest v4.6 and was forced to Face-Palm myself  :oops:
