Ok, probably a dumb question, but I just have to ask.

A ship set to GS to me, at a planet, will arrive with no fuel onboard.

Will GS still take place, perhaps the next turn? Or will it need to take on fuel and use yet another turn.

Like I said, dumb question.

Thanks,

Phaser.

But @Phaser, remember, you need one of your own ships in orbit and it needs to have one clan on board, otherwise it will not work. Your planet cannot take over any ship except if you have a base and it is set to force a surrender.

Yes sir, knew that one. It's just I never ran up against this sort of move before. Wasn't sure it would work. Hoping the ship my partner is towing in has a higher ship number than the one that's GS'ing, so it's mine before the rob mission.. :)

Thanks for the heads up though! Always appreciate anything I can learn, or not screw up, before the deed becomes reality!

The ship has to have fuel, one clan on board, and the friendly code.
Fuel transfer happens before ship transfer. So transfer fuel and clans to it next turn and ask your partner to set friendly code.

The other catch...

"perhaps the next turn?"

Yes, that's right. GSX happens before movement, so you won't receive the ship immediately upon arrival.

I am not sure the info in the link is correct? Once my ships are out of fuel, they can't move or transfer anything.

A ship without fuel with a appropriate gsx code is transferred if the other ship has at least one clan on if it is in a game that allows non matching friendly code ships to be transferred.

This is the method used in older games to transfer ships to hostage ship players.

They give you a useless ship so they can move it away then give you 1 fuel to blow it up to generate PP's.

That is why the additional host option of friendly codes must match was created.

So a fuel less ship will be given if the other ship has a clan on it and the game does not have the match friendly codes activated. If it does have the game options activated simply match friendly codes
