Question from A Noob....
« on: July 06, 2013, 05:00:04 am »
Guys,

How do I setup a patrol with the redirector?
I have created it on one planet but there is no option to right click on a different planet.
As soon as I move to the other planet I loose the ability to set a rally point.

Am I doing something completely wrong here?

When you're on the planet with the redirector and have it selected, bring up the galaxy map and shift+right click on another planet. That should do it.

Thanks Tridus.

So let me get this right.
I place a rally point off the redirector and
then go to the Galaxy map and right click on the plant
I want to send the patrol?
So the ships entering the system will then first go to
the placed rally point and then exit to the system I
right clicked on in the Galaxy map?

No, they won't go to the redirector and immediatly move toward the next wormhole ( the one you selected ) and if there's any redirector on the next planet they'll follow it.

So would they just move from wormhole to wormhole?

Reason why I am asking is that I want to setup a patrol between two systems.
Will the fleet just jump in and out on either side of the same wormhole?

I would have though there would be some way of using them to reach the local Rally Point and then
redirect it to the exiting worm hole.

Are we able to request this feature?
