Lifepods

[sandman662 (OP)]

Ok, 30 minutes of plowing through the forums and no luck, so I post...

How do you rescue lifepods?  I moved a TG to the lifepod, but didn't get an option to interact with it.  Do you have to have certain components on a "rescue ship"?

Thanks in advance.

Uh, there should be a 'rescue survivors' option when you select the lifepods in the task group window. Not sure why there wouldn't be.

Do you have to have a specific tech?  Like tractor beams or transporters (assuming that there are transporters - I am very new and don't know all the techs)?

No, your problem is that you probably haven't checked the "Lifepods" box on the 1st tab of the F12 screen (in the display options section).  At that point they'll show up on the list of potential destinations, you can highlight them, and then the "rescue" command will be available.

If this turns out to be the problem, I must admit to some curiosity as to how else you can move a TG to the lifepods.

Perhaps through very precise waypointing.
