some engines out, can't repair matching set

jokker · 05-14-14, 06:26 PM

I underwent a massive DC attack which I survived. Hull is ok, but 2 diesel and 2 electrical engines are out. After 3 days of resting crew and trying everything i could think of, I cant seem to find a way to gain propulsion.

I'm dead in water, occasionally diving to get away from enemy forces.

While I have one good diesel/electrical pair on each side, I get no workable setup.

Am I dead in the water and just waiting to abandon ship.

ideas???

You should have installed Travellers mod for SOS.

You would lose 400 renown points but at least you would have saved the boat and career.

I'm assuming you're running stock. It's a bug in the stock game. Apparently, when the developers made the engine model, instead of doing it from scratch, they used the one from SH3. So the management screen shows 4 engines, the game only recognizes two engines. So if you have one engine destroyed, you in reality have both on that side destroyed. Someone like Ducimus will be able to explain this much better.
Basically, because of a game flaw, you're dead in the water.

I can go back to the beginning of mission 11 and do it again. Damn, I played so carefully that this is my first death (of sorts) in the career.

Damn.

Thanks

after spending 3 tension filled hours evading and surviving (all in real time), i would like to go forward attempting to get back to base.

If I add the traveler mod at this point, will I be able to carry on or is it all over.

I likely know the answer, but it doesnt hurt to ask I suppose
