Repairing Escort Ships

[Ditti]

Is it possible to repair your own escort ship?
If it is, how?

I thought I lost one of my ships to pirates, but when I checked the info, it still had 35% of it's hull. I went back to the system and found the ship, still green on the minimap, and went close to it.
I tried asking other ships for assistance, but they replied "Nothing is wrong with your ship"
I tried talking to my escort ship, it replied "You want help? Theres nothing wrong with your ship"
My escort ship is just sitting there, so I'm pretty sure it's not asking any other ship for help either.

I believe it has some of the cargo I need to complete a mission, because I landed on the mission planet but the quest would not complete.

The ship has 0 fuel too, so it won't follow me if I jump to another system, and it doesn't seem to be able to move at all, so I can't make it land on the planet.

Is there any way I can repair it?

press b when you are nearby to board and fix the ship

Thanks a bunch, that worked.



Now the only problem is... I'm in a system where the pirates just keep coming in waves, one group after another. Theres navy around, but the gap between one group being taken care of and another group arriving is seriously small.

Everytime I save one ship, a pirate shoots at it and it gets stuck again.


Stay away from Alioth.

Comeback with larger ships ☺

I'm too broke, I just finished paying off the loan I got to get one of those stranded ships.

I got them all in the end, with one tiny freighter and persistance

Port out, do a crap tone of Rush diliveries, tourist runs, and beat up the smaller pirates and steal the ships to sell/add to the fleet till you can get better ships. Sometimes that extra sparrow can save your life even if it's just a starter ship.

I'm trying to board my escorts, but it won't board. They were never even attacked, the just stopped moving. If I land on the planet, they come out and then stop. I can even switch ships, but that just causes my old ship to freeze as well. Help?

You've made your ships hold position, assuming you're on default controls you should press H to make them stop holding.
