How to lead a fleet in StarMade!

[aceface]

You can actually control a fleet now!

I retain that this is the best glitch that has ever existed and that it should never be patched.

I will be using this on larger ships. Epic cinematics inbound.

I like the green ship in the background. It got a nice design, although very cubish.

You can actually control a fleet now!

Steps to control a Fleet (must be admin)
1. Press F on the first ship
2. Press TAB+F8
3. DO NOT EXIT THE SHIP
4. repeat step 1 on the next ship
5. press Tab+F8

Repeat this process to control multiple ships. Ensure you have large sectors as the camera breaks when you leave the sector you start doing this inside.

Known problems:
1. When you exit the ship, one or more ships cores are inaccessible / do not show up on Nav
2. Sometimes on the Docking Beam will fire from slot 1, however you might get lucky

To fix, relog your client :D


remember there will be ways to do this properly in game SOON(TM)[DOUBLEPOST=1410636223,1410636169][/DOUBLEPOST]

This Glitch has actually been in the game since before the yogswarm :D

Also it is a planned feature :D expect more info soon :D

Yea, skoomer hinted at AI mechanics in the previous news. I can't wait to hear more!

It'll make using my drone swarms easier :D

THAT IS AMAZING :D Now we need a keep place to x and a stay within range of ship x command

 

[Gamel]

Can't wait to see this in game in a proper way

No, now we need fleet control implemented. Remember, this is just a glitch with the Force Enter command.

sooo
try to command a big fleet of small ships
like this "fleet" :P

 

[Gerion]

Do they fire where you aim or are they just firing? Or even target locking mechanism? Couldnt really discern that from the video, since the target was rather large.

I would call that a swarm :p

they do not shoot where you aim, however locking on missiles will aim at the same thing

IT BEGINS

Ace, has your voice changed? It sounds like you're from a totally different place.

Still, glitch or not this is awesome. Now all we need is to be able to issue orders to evil subordinates (both NPC and player controlled) like you can in BF. Just point at a target and rub hands and LAUGH MANICALLY as your minions CRUSH your enem....Ahem...As your team flies over for diplomatic solutions...

So i guess this is great for multiple gunboats with lock on missiles and for ships with turrets that just follow you around and the turrets do the shooting... Sounds good enough, expand on that please, Schema.

They don't condense into an Ultraloard?

I think the enemies need more pylons now

Top post, Ace! Thanks for giving me the power to lead a fleet! Now, I shall destroy my enemies!
