Default Re: Freighter Network

"Destroyed After Use" only works with components with abilities that can be activated (eg Stellar Manipulation, Emergency Movement and such). It won't work on remote resource generators.

Satellites are a hull type; small immobile pods that you can deploy in space. You can fit weapons onto them and use them as defense, or sensors or remote resource generators and use them for civilian purposes.

There is no way in hell you'll ever going to get a freighter network to work without having to use more workarounds than is really warranted.

(Oh, and btw, you can edit your posts so you don't have to post again if you want to say something after you've posted)

Default Re: Freighter Network

You could make the freigter hull generate resources as was posted earlier, and then just make it a rule for your players that they must make the friegthers actually move around. There is no way to force them to move them in the game mechanics, But it would be fairly easy to verify. If you warp into an opponents system and he's got hundreds of freighters sitting around he's basically busted.

Get a group of players to buy into the idea and it could be quite cool actually.
