Just curious......How long would any of y'all wait in the 2nd or 3th system for an escort-able ship to arrive at the shipping station? 50% of the time when I arrive at the first spawned Korolov the only docked ships for escort are not available to rookies.

I wait until ships arrive. I need cash, and its worth even a couple seconds waiting.

Same here, just wait, to make things easier on yourself speed up the game time by using the (a)utopilot and save your game frequently incase you die for some reason while you are not watching the screen.

I wait as long as it takes, because I need the cash the Korolov offers - I'll even do the short, one-way trips, because 400 creds makes a huge difference in the 2nd, 3rd systems. I just stick it on [a]utopilot and wait it out... >.>

OK, good, then I am not the only one waiting around. It has been a rare occasion when I stayed in a system for 5 or more minutes without an escort-able freighter arriving at the station.

If your not having fun waiting with Korolov, your going to have one heck of a time waiting for the CSC missions. Usually I just set auto-pilot and wait.

Put the ship on a planet, and press autopilot. Then go feed the dog/clean the house/get dinner and return.
Don't make the mistake of just waiting NEAR the Korlov, as you can easily get destroyed by any nearby enemy while on Autopilot. >.<

Quite true indeed. With the CSC missions the waiting usually happens when stargate x and y are rather close together or if there are minimal ares in the system is'nt it? Oh and also is there any other rank beyond fleet captian?

One more thing how do you put a box around what the previous person said?

use the quote function, positioned in the lower right side of their post.

E5DCM-I921G-7R1E3 - A beta code for some game. Might want to ask me back at it's original site for the correct one though. Better be fast, not that patient here.

I'll be observing from afar.

Upper right corner, it is. At least, that's where it is on Hermes. But that should be the default style set anyway. ;)
