CARGO HANDLING AND LAUNCHING
============================
There are three different cargo handling commands. Transfer Cargo (hotkey T) gives you complete manual control over what goes where. Load Cargo (L) and Drop Cargo (D) will automatically move all that they can of one type of cargo.

Launchable units (drones, fighters, mines, and satellites) have a parallel set of orders: Launch/Recover Units (U), Launch Units Remotely (I), and Recover Units Remotely (O).

A ship needs a specific launch component to handle each type of unit, which cannot handle the other types. Planets can launch and recover units without needing any special facilities.

Drones and mines cannot be recovered once launched.

What exactly is this thread??

I remember there already being a VERY extensive FAQ Last year?

Is this one just for gold or something? I would this a great many things could be culled from the previous FAQ.

No, it's just a duplication. This is not a 'unified' community, you know. We're just a mob of fans who clump and unclump in our own ways. When one 'clique' gets an idea they go ahead and carry it out even if someone else has already done it. Notice the over-lapping mods, 'Star Trek,' 'SciFi Crossover' with lots of Trek stuff included, TDM modpack with lots of Trek and B5 and other races, B5 specific mod, etc...

"No boundaries" could be the SE IV official motto.

Too bad. That always frustrates me.

Unity is the key...

[Suicide Junkie]

We are unified in our diversity.
