MOO2: Relocation
Floyd Walker
I've looked in the manual, and around the web, and I have not been able to
determine how one sets up relocation. Could someone please help?

I'm not sure what you mean by relocation - but I think you're talking
about automatically moving newly produced ships from one planet to
another.
MOO1 allowed you to do this, but MOO2 does not. No wonder you
couldn't find it :) You can move fleets one at a time in the fleet
screen, which is called "relocate", but it's the same thing as moving
them via the galaxy map.

Odd. I can relocate ships from the fleet screen and they do the movement
automatically. I've never had a problem.

Sure you can. Go into the fleet screen I believe its called. There is a
relocate button in there. If you hit it the cursor turns into an arrow with an
F this is to select the from planet then the arrow turns into a T this is the
To planet.
Happy hunting,
Andrew

I guess it does work as described (duh). Oh well.

1. Boot up MOO and pretend that you're playing MOO2.
2. Boot up MOO2 and pretend that you want to relocate ships to the system
they were built on.
3. Boot up MOO2 and don't relocate ships, since there is no such thing
in MOO2.

(This is from memory since I play hotseat at a friend's place).
From the Fleets screen, there is a reduced size galaxy map. Click on
the star system that produces the ship, and then click on its
destination. It was working great for me in my last game when I
discovered this feature.

you relocate from and to, you just simply click on the map in the screen. I
do hope that they will simplified that so I don't need to go into fleet
screen to do it. BTW it won't take the best route as usual eg worm hole.

Yer the second person to say something this STUPID. Did you pirate the
game and don't know how to read directions?? Ship relocation most
definetly exists in Moo2. I bet you don't even play the damn game.
Go to the fleet screen. Click the 'relocate' button. The cursor
changes
to a 'from' with an arrow. Click on the system from which you want to
relocate ships. Next, the cursor changes to a 'to' with an arrow. Now
select the destination system. A little (red?) line appears between
the systems. Wallah! To stop rellocation, just select relocate again,
then select the from system TWICE, and it cancels the current
relocation.
Sigh, this information is also in the manual on page 41. Seriously
Bill,
are you and the other idiot who said it wasn't possible just completely
stupid, or perhaps you both are pirates who don't know what instruction
manuals are good for?
Morons all around, and they are always the first to post stuff acting
like they are some kinda genius...
vger
I think Bill and Craig are a little out of it, or perhaps have had
one to many bong hits or something.
Look in your Moo2 manual, page 41.
From the fleets screen, click the relocate button. Then the cursor
will change to a 'From?' with an arrow. Select the system FROM which
you are building the ships. Next it will change the cursor to a 'To?'
with an arrow. Select the DESTINATION system. Wallah, ship relocation
in progress. The game also will show a light/faded line between the
systems in the star map so you can remember the relocation is active.
To stop relocating, go back to fleets and repeat the procedure, but
select the home system as BOTH From/To and it will say 'relocation
canceled'
Serious Bill/Craig, are you guys just idiots or pirates who don't
understand manuals or what? I can't stand idiots that post stuff
like they are some kinda genius know it all and it turns out they
couldn't be more wrong...
Always happy to set the record straight...

Actually I suspect Bill isn't the only male human to ever have a
mental block about reading instruction manuals. I read manuals as little
as possible myself. I was just lucky to stumble across the Relocate
button while I was scrapping a Silicoid garbage scow one day. BTW, just
in case you're wondering, yes I do have a manual, but fortunately for me
I also feel like I have better things to do with my time than spend it
with my nose shoved down into some damn book.

I guess you're right - clearly there *are* morons all around. But
they just aren't always the first to post. Sometimes they follow-up...
Criminy. It's a *game*, not a freakin' doctoral thesis.

You could also try the fleet button off the main screen and then use the
relocation button....

Your post speaks for itself about who the idiot is.
I looked at the feature once - and then posted the wrong information.
Then, I posted a followup saying "Oops I was wrong". Again, my
apologies.
The interesting thing is I don't think I've seen any other post about
MOO2 from you vger (afraid to use your real name ?)
Seriously vger, are you just some kinda genius know-it-all except that
you're afraid to post unless you're making fun of someone else ?

Actually, being a male human myself with better things to do, I found
the manual quite sufficient, and it only took me a half hour to get
enough from it to begin playing sucessfully, relocate and all.

maybe I should.
I'm sorry I posted some false info vger. I immediately followed up
with a correction. Also, I'm sorry that I tried to add a little
humor to my post without adding a :-). I thought it was obvious
that I was kidding. Obviously, I was wrong about that also.
Also, I'm sorry vger that you finally did decide to post, it was
very unpleasant and unenjoyable.
I read this news group for enjoyment. It is usually fun and light
hearted. My posts are meant to be enjoyable to read and hopefully
will sometimes provide an interesting bit of information
or point of view. Vger, please place my name in your kill file
to avoid future unpleasant responses.
Thank you

The original moo had a shortcut that allowed you to relocate all ships
to a single location with a single mouse click. (I dont remember what
it was). This feature wasn't in the manuals, but in the readme docs.
Does moo2 have a similar feature?

Really? Moo1 had that feature? Moo2 has it...in the Fleets screen
there is a Relocate button and (I believe) a Relocate All button.

It was one of the function key commands that were added in a patch.
Unfortunately, MOO2 doesn't seem to have this feature, but it's not so
much of a problem because there are far fewer ships involved.

In MOO (1) you click on the new system to relocate to and hit <ALT>R to
change all existing relocations

No relocate all on mine. (ver 1.2)

Or they love books, like myself, and find the quality of the manuals they
did pay for (like myself) and the strategy guide they paid for (again,
like myself... those are a real scam) to be fecal. They didn't even
include indexes in either, and it's very difficult to find what you're
looking for. Therefore, even if one reads the manual, one isn't going to
find the information in many cases. If Microprose hired me to run their
tech writing department one of my first actions would be to send the
current bunch over to EA, which does infinitely worse and would actually
benefit from MOO2-style manuals--now *there's* a gutter insult.

An index would have been nice in the manual. You are right. If you mean the
strat guide for MOO2 is a ripoff I agree. I looked it over in the store and as
far as I could see it had nothing in it a good manual would not have had. This
however was a step up from Outpost's strategy guide which when combined with
the manual that came with the game still didn't add up to a good manual,
If you mean all strat guides are a ripoff I disagree. The moo1 strat guide was
great, especially the advice about specific ship designs.

There's no button, however the faq says the F4 key works to relocate all.
(Haven't tried it myself.) Also supposed to work on the main screen.
