Squadrons

In the Combine, if you have several ships of the same type, you can set them to follow you.

What can I Squad?

There are a few types of ships that you can squad together. These include all the Fighter class ships as well as several freighters (Lambda Shuttle, DX-9 Dropship, Delta-Class JV-7 Escort Shuttle, Sentinel-class Landing Craft).

You can also squad any vehicles of the same type, this is particularly important for prospecting as using a squad of FK-7 Airspeeders or SX-65 Groundhogs will increase your chances.

How-To

In order to create a squadron, you MUST have "Pilot" privileges for the ships you wish to use.

• Click [Ships], under the [Inventory] tab on the sidebar.
• Click on the [Manage Piloted Ships] tab.
• To the left of all of the pictures of the ships, there is a checkbox. Check the box next to the ships you wish to create a squadron with.
• There is a drop-down box below the ships. It is titled [Select Action]. Click on it to drop it down and bring up more options.
• Select [Set Controller] and click [Process].
• You will then be able to move the squadron of ships with you.
• Note: You can hurry up this process by clicking "Check all."

The process is similar for vehicles, however you use the vehicle inventory rather than the ships inventory.

Examples of Use

• Your Commanding Officer has asked you to transport a large group of fighters. There are three types of fighters: 7 Y-Wings, 4 X-Wings, and 6 A-Wings. However, you cannot make all of these fighters become a squadron. So, you must group and transport the fighters by type
