See attachment. Hit the switch on the top-left of the window to 'shadow' a ship.

You get mechtoids from the biggest reticulan shipping and during reticulan bunker mission (probe).
I guess you did boned yourself with getting "Contacts: Reticulans" before you could finish all individual topics such as mechtoid and mechtoid corpse.
Somewhere is a fix for that.

To get 'secure freight' you've to research the topic: "Heavy Freighter Flight Plan"

To get this topic, you've to read Heavy Freighter Documentation first.

Hmmm, strange... the game didn't allow me to minimize it...

That Mechtoid thing sounds like a bug/oversight on the dev side (it should at least give another way to get em, maybe buying one AFTER the "Contact:Reticulans" is finished).

And lastly: Oh boy! So I have to deal with a heavy freighter!... They usually take donw my ships, tho I think now that I can engage it with multiple ships at a time I can manage it.

That Mechtoid thing really bugs me tho... It doesn't even WARN you about "If you research Contact: Reticulans you won't see anymore Reticulan missions/get chances to capture tech/people from them!"... I'm in year 4 already and I think I got that Reticulan screwup in year 2! sigh Well, then back to the grind it is!

Couple of questions:
How do I get my crafts to shadow enemy crafts (so I can follow those friggin probes to a mission), the game doesn't let me minimise the "engagement" screen
Mechtoids: How to get em/where... and did I screw myself cause I already got "Contacts: Reticulans"?
Where the hell do I get that "Secure Freight" (or such) tech/item from? Without it anything that needs the "Activities: Commercial" research is locked...

Thanks for your help in advance!

So... it seems like I screwed myself over and got Contacts: Reticulans BEFORE getting my hands on a Mechtoid, hence softlocking myself (because all endgame techs are locked BEHIND the Reticulan Powersystems, for which I NEED a Mechtoid)... is that intended?
