Hi,

I have a station in Wretched Skies V Family Phi. I have 3 Wyvern's attached to it, set to Mine for Commander. The distance is set to 1 jump, but they are 5 jumps away in Zyarth's Dominion IV, complaining about no resources in that sector (they're right), but there are resources in Family Zhin, two jumps from the station.

First question is why are they ignoring the 1 jump limit (station commander is 2 star, does that have anything to do with it?)?

Secondly, if they can ignore it, why are they not using the minerals in Family Zhin as it's closer to the station they are serving?

I left it at the default one jump away as I couldn't increase it and I'd seen other mining ships ignore the one jump rule but still be finding minerals ok.

Happy to supply screenshots as needed, just tell me what you need to see

Thanks!

Need to take out these stations. They are all on the same plane, and co-ordinated attack with my capital fleet just ends up taking losses as they inevitably move around the bottom station (and would presumably do the same with the Wharf at the top).

I've taken out many station before but not with three in such close proximity.

Open to suggestions! Maybe draw out and kill the defence drones, then send in a lot of bomber S ships?

EDIT- many thanks to everyone with suggestions, I wasn't anticipating such a response- really appreciate it! Lots to try here. For reference I don't have any Asgards, and only +13 to TER so no Syns yet. Still, I'll try the above/below tactic as it's cheaper than massed S bombers
