The Stardrive is an advanced
unit you can build that will enable your capital ships to
travel at tremendous speeds. It's basically a carrier - you
move a ship onto the top of the stardrive, then select the
stardrive unit itself and move it around. Both of the ships
will travel at great speed to wherever you click the mouse,
just like a regular unit.
Here's some things
to remember when using the Stardrive unit.
* Units docked with it
do NOT get repaired. The stardrive is not a
repair vessel!
* You can have a unit
fire from the back of a stardrive by setting it to 'hold position'.
This can make battleships move like grease lightning and still
fire as they want.
* Damaged units on patrol
will not automatically dock with the stardrive like regular
carriers.
* Anything docked with
the stardrive can detach at any time and move
around normally.
* When a unit detaches,
it will decelerate to it's regular top speed at it's normal
braking rate. For battleships, this can mean 30 seconds of
incredible speed after detaching while still in motion.
