Mobile space dock

I'd have 2 points for those:

1. They don't repair engines - is that by design?
2. Would be possible to add them ability (in controls maybe?) to put built units into different group then they are.
3. Swallow immunity please?

MSDs aren't swallow immune?  Haha, oh wow.  That's gotta suck...

I've definitely used them to repair engines, though, dunno what's up with that.

And on the other point: there really needs to be a control option to make ALL constructors not add ships to their own control group, it's a really frustrating "feature".

[orzelek]

I'm actually using the constructors in groups feature for docks a lot. Problems are with MSD's since they shouldn't be moved with whole group but units they produce would need to be added to it. It's a bit annoying atm when using them since you need to periodically add what they produced to group.

I've had no problems with the MSD grouping functions. Isn't there a Brave option for these?

It's about ships they produce ending up in their group which is not optimal not about selecting them.
Brave for those is actually counter productive with their 5 second repair timer - you don't want to move them a lot.

Actually I find that I rather want them to be part of a group of military ships. I usually bring them along with Enclaves, SBSs, and most recently, Railpods and NCCs. The group itself moves only when I am getting them into postion, and the MSDs constantly produce Railpods while keeping the rest of the force in full shape.


Though most recently I've noticed that they are decloaking while making ships, though I recall they were specifically buffed so that they could produce ships while cloaked. Did I miss a change? I can't find it in the wiki, and I went back as far as 6.00.

I am not sure if that buff existed, but it would be OP. Very OP. Two words: Neinzul Swarm.
