Will Ship Transfer work at Engineer Bases?
- Thread starter TheSisko
- Start date
Unlikely, as they don't have shipyards.
It will be interesting to see if the transfer cost less for the return trip with an upgraded FSD.

No shipyard, no transfer.
Correct, Devs confirmed shipyard will be required to transfer
This means the nearest station to any Eng base will get very full of ships post 2.2It also depends on if your currency is time or not. I still believe no matter the cost of transfers it will be faster to do a few Sothis/Ceos/Robigo runs and keep a transport ship around (Anaconda with 60Ly range) than it will to travel with any ship that isn't exploration fitted. And that saddens me. Will see if things change between Gamescon and beta and live but it saddens me greatly.
On that sidenote I don't do the long distance hauling/smuggling as I personally have a view that if I do anything purely for the profits I'll stop enjoying the game, my personal view, not saying I disagree with it existing but its not for me personally.
Back on topic I expect I'll pull at least half my fleet if not more across to the nearest shipyard to Farseer and/or other engineers using the transport mechanics before moving them back again once upgraded. I plan to only mod 2 ships fully anyway (racing courier and PvP FDL). The others will be an as/when to avoid me getting bogged down with material gathering...
