Re: help please ;(

Yes you must form a TF. I hope the colony ship has both types of engines. You can have a single ship TF for CS or scouts.

When you go to the TF creation screen it will open up to Flotilla size Long Range Attack mission. You'll need to change the dropdowns to be detachment & colony for a 1 or 2 colony ship force.

To get to the TF creation screens click on any system with a Mobilization Center. You can hit the B key to bring up all the systems with a MobCntr and also color coded star lanes.

big thx guys


didnt see that one

You can make a task force out of any one ship!
Or use more ships!

Yeah, and if you press 'B' on the keyboard you can use it the same turn.
Well, is this a bug or a tactic, though? A ground force is added to SitRep the same turn, the fleet appears there the next one.

Bug. This "B" key exploit will be fixed in the code patch.

I find myself still exploiting that B key bug. I guess I`ll have problems adapting to the post-patch version....

D'uh! How come I never hear about these things until they are (almost) fixed?
