CEO Transportation

[Julius_Squeezer]

Hey there, just grabbed this recently, trying to see if theres a way for me as the CEO in FPS to board a ship and say go to a space station ive got or onto one of the captial ships or something. Or is the CEO playable character pretty much isolated to the initial asteroid base?

Thanks in advance

The spy ceo has a computer next to his desk that lets him teleport to any base he owns.

The other factions are typically expected to stay at their desk but the CEO can of course just go to the hangar and fly off in an executive shuttle IIRC (but if you crash you've lost the game with no action taken by the enemy).

The CEO can go to a trade platform or executron hanger, spawn a starfighter or shuttle, and fly out on it manually. From there you can go to a big starship, and when you get close (IIRC either directly beneath or above it) you can board it and fly it yourself.

So yes, its possible, but you're giving up strategic control of the game, so you're pretty much throwing the game by doing so. In essence, you're confined to your HQ unless are willing to throw, or you have some elaborate masterplan that has you leaving your HQ permanently.

(it would be an incredible flex to personally fly an endgame system destroying ship to your opponent's HQ to blow it up)

Yeah I was meaning in the sense of can I control units from another base, which I learned I can. Leave in one of the mentioned ships and dock at say a command station and use the desk there

Just becareful. Asteroid base HQ cannot be destroyed. Space command stations can be destroyed. If you're at the desk when the station goes boom... well...

I had no idea there were command desks on the stations. The more you know, eh? So many little details in the game. I just today noticed you can get drinks at the trade station.

Those are more for the executrons. It heals them IIRC

When you are CEO you can direct control the ships/troops at any time to play the FPS mode of the game.

Yes correct, but not what I was looking for. Found the solution.

Thanks!
