Hard time adding drones to my ship
I have this Titurel freighter ship, which I captured from Sovereign Syndicate. It comes with no cargo lift drones in it. So I went to the HoA shipyard and told the Cap ships trader to -Modify > Equip drones > Titurel.

As I see, the shipyard has 47 drones in stock and it is not currently buidling/modyfing any ship. However, when I select my Titurel and click 3(change) number of drones, before accepting the deal, it does not allow me to change the number of cargo lift drones. It keeps stuck on 0.

It is strange because I can select the "Change (3)" icon, it is not grayed out. But I cannot add any drones to my ship, not even the others.

Any ideas?


Ps. BTW, I am playing the last beta version available.

Have you checked in the details of your ship to see if your drone bay still has room for additional drones? If you have room on the ship for more then I don't know what to do. Maybe you could try another shipyard. Fly it up to Gemstone Manufacturing and see what they say.

I had no drones in that ship. Maybe... it never happened to me before... but maybe that happened cuz I destroyed the drone bay, when I was capturing the ship, and the engineer didnt have time to fix it.

All I know is that I sold it and bought a Scaldis in its place fully equipped.

Problem fixed lol

No I suspect this is a bug or they've changed Capital warships to not be fitable with cargolifters. The only reason they would be needed would be refueling. I had a similar problem outfiting an Arawa... wouldn't let me put cargo drones on it, yet it was able to refuel. I was at Gemstone btw.

But Titurel is a freighter capital ship. Cargo lifts drones are a must have item.

They may have reclassed the Titurel as a capital warship and not a freighter. They filled the cargo space with ammo...lol. I've always been disappointed those don't have wares that drop when they get destroyed like a pinata. I guess now we know why, it's not a trade ship, it's a rebel destroyer.

Engineers now take a lot more time to fix ships than before, so as cited above the issue probably is a not working drone bay.

Yeah the latest beta really slowed those guys down. It's a little heartbreaking too with all of those shiny new titurel's flying around. I have three sitting in Torrid Veil working on their jump drives.

Aside from trying to transfer drones, most reliable way I've found is simply to fly up to the ship and look for the drone bay. If I can't click on it, then it isn't fixed yet.

Drone bay for a Titurel is on top of the ship, a bit forward, close to a spot between the two plasma turrets.
