Hyperspace and Retreating Question

[Delta]

I have buildable TIE squadrons and was wondering if it would be possible to use the same logic of them not being able to travel on the GC without a carrier ship, and have that work for when they retreat from battles too?

So in essence if there is a unit capable of hyperspace in battle then the non hyperspace unit would be able to retreat, and if the hyperspace unit dies it cannot retreat without dying.

Don't know if this is possible, but I recall Nomada pulling off something like this. However, his mod is very large and often very hard to dissect.

Sounds possible? But very complicated - I personally don't think it is because of how units function but, these guys are masters here. Personally I just like increasing the amount of squadrons per ship (especially with Escort Carriers & Muunificents).


On a side note, where can I get the kickass signatures of the various Star Destroyer denominations (and that one poor Dauntless)?

You can get them here http://thrawnsrevenge.com/forums/index.php?topic=5584.0

Also thanks for the quick response!

In fact you have two options. 1 as it stands, and the other is you can get their hyperspace capability, but they will die in the battle, no matter that you have carriers.
You have to edit the XMLs they are in. In the unit's card look for this:
<Hyperspace>Yes</Hyperspace>
if you change the yes to No it won't be able to travel alone, and will die if you retreat

I'm guessing there is no way to have <Hyperspace>No</Hyperspace> and still be able to retreat in battle if they have a hyperspace capable ship with them?

Thought it was cool on how the galactic map it required a transport for them to travel, sadly that transport can't help them retreat in battle.

Yeah, its something like <is hyperspace capable> in the squadron, then it has to travel with something else. Problem being that you could have like 150 squadrons with just one lancer.

As ever, LUA  can be used to make a more intricate system.

Does that allow the fighters to retreat with the ship in combat too?

I'm 99.9% sure.
