Hangar bays and strike crafts
Hi
I'm a relative new player. I must have missed how to build hangar bays and strike crafts.
I found a station where I have a hangar bay, but not the option to build strike crafts. I figure it has to be because I'm missing a shipyard so I'm building one now.

So I went to other starbases I have and there is no option to build the hangar bays at all.

So my question is:
What is the requirements to build the hangar bays and strike crafts after you have done the research for it?

Hanger bays come with free strike craft you don't need to build any, they will be automatically deployed once a battle with the stations begins, and I'm pretty sure that you just need an open slot to build hangar bays on any stations.

Strike craft don't need to be built. For hangar bays you need the appropriate tech.

I don't think you read my entire question. I'm not able to build new hangar bays at all. But for some reason I have one at one of my starbases.

Presumably you acquired a station from another entity that was able to build the hangar bay.

Did you capture this station? If it isn't showing then you probably haven't researched the tech for it. if you have, then it is a bug with you current game. Though if you captured a station that had it...it doesn't go away if you didn't have the tech.

ah...you're right. I just checked my research tree. I haven't researched it. Is it to late to get it? I'm at year 2432/2500 and I can't recall seeing that research available. Is it available only to certain races maybe? I'm playing necroids at the moment.

If you don't have the strike craft tech then the station in question you acquired from another empire that does have it.

Otherwise you'll eventually get the tech provided no mods have fubarred up your tech tree.

yeah, it will turn up eventually. Hanger bays are really good for trade routes if your race uses them.

That’s crazy you haven’t had the tech come up yet at basically end game

Which is why mentioned mods possibly screwing up his tech tree.

I don't use any mods and have got all the DLC's activated.
Is it possible Ihave simply skipped that research at some point and not gotten it listed later on?

It is possible but the more you progress the more unlikely it is

you see, every tech has a 'weight' applied and the lighter (low level tech) tend to 'rise to top' in the vast see of technologies to research
If you skip something it is put a little in the back but even if you skip it repeatedly at some point it is a technology that is rather likely to pop up again
