Hello all , new and slightly confused player here . I have finished training Drones V and bought myself a Vexor . But when i fill my drone bay with hobgoblins i am only able to launch 4 drones into space . Doesnt Drones V skill allow me to fly 5 drones at once ? On the ship fitting window it shows drone bandwidth at 20/75 . Am i missing another skill to able to fly 5 drones at once ?

Here are some things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

- shut down the game and log back in

- shut down the game, clear the game cache, and log back in

- recheck your skills. Make sure that the skill is completed, not in the training queue.

- if all else fails, file a support ticket / petition under "bugs"


Hopefully your issue will be resolved after doing the first two things.

Remember ShahFluffer's advice for the future: it is relatively common for skill completion to not be recognised by the game until you at least log out and back in again.

This is in part due to the two main problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.

tldr; computer voodoo is an actual thing and you should be nice to your IT people. Even if they ask you to do seemingly dumb things.

So are you saying that topless Tuesdays is an actual thing then? My IT guy isn't trying to pull a fast one?

Addendum: Any advice from IT personnel involving social etiquette, interpersonal relations, or anatomy should be considered suspect by default. Blink
