I have seen at least three variations of this question in the form of new players asking basic fitting questions that ultimately circle back to the fact that they were trying to use the Venture for combat in Rookie Chat in the last week. I don’t know why. I’m honestly only making a forum post because an ISD suggested I should instead of talking about it in Rookie Chat.
And they don’t ask about drones until the players helping them tell them they should be using drones, and then begins the process of explaining how to train for, equip, and use the drones.
You can even find forum posts about it. Agent missions , for example.
It could honestly just be during the first mission of either path, and there should be a tutorial box explaining why you don’t use the Venture for combat. It doesn’t harm any existing player to institute this and only serves to help new players understand that ships have roles.
Alright, you’re completely right about this one.
