What to do with passengers?

[yelgrun]

I have captured several space suits, but they couldn't be sold at pirate bases? What do we do with them? Can we turn them into marines? How and where? My captured passengers been sitting in brig for long time since I have no idea what to do with them. If I eject them, will they fly to stations?[/b]

When you're docked at the pirate base, go to the passengers in your freight menu and there should be the option to "enslave". then they can be sold as slaves.

Dock at that pirate base again the goto your ships freight menu and goto your passengers click on one of them and you'll be given an option "Enslave".
Well I think that speaks for itself
Just imagine you've put that Disintigrator riffle of yours to his head and said right you good for nothing piece of **** get your arse off my ship.
Well you'll now have a nice batch of slaves for market if you do that to each of your passengers

I grabbed a Hermes with a bunch of Paranid passengers. I thought about enslaving them, but decided to just eject them instead, figure they'd go to a nearby station.

Turns out, since they were seen as hostile, my nearby Shrike took out about half of them...

Whoops....

Ok, in instruction manual that came with game said I can train them into marines at rehabilitation centers. Is that any stations that sell marines? Like Marine Outpost? So first I go to pirate base to enslave my passengers then go to marine bases to turn them into marines? I ought to try that.

Rehibilitation centre`s are NOT in game !!

You can`t train slaves to be marines or otherwise, slaves or enslaved pilots/passengers can only be sold as such to a Mercenary Outpost. DO NOT sell slaves to a Marine Training Facility as the local authorities see slave trade as ILLEGAL !!

Curse those rat dog Argon freudulants !!....

I can't believe no one has given the correct answer yet:

You throw passengers out the airlock.

You throw passengers out the airlock.

preferably when the warning "entering planet atmosphere" comes up

edit: incidentally, when I aquired an argon arena some time ago, some 3300+ passengers were chillin up in the cargo hold. I was in the process of transfering them to transports to take them to a pirate station... but neglected the life support...

Hey! We've gotten you a different flight to get you to your destination. Sorry for the misunderstanding with the marines and the gunfire and everything. Just go right through this door, yep, there you go, i'll just seal it up and... whoops...

I thin k you'll find that those passengers weren't actual people. I've captured ships with 1,100 'invalids', and others that had passengers. I think they're just there for effect, rather than saleable commodities.

Having read this thread I've concluded that humanity is doomed...

X game should offer additional options options.
First is selling captured pilots to the pirates. Rep goes down, highly profitable.
Second option is releasing rescued pilots at the trading station. Rep goes up, not much profits though.

Now you can either sell them or release them. Letting them into space isn't an option, they die instantly.

The onething i did like doing with passengers/bailed pilots (before i knew about enslaving them and selling them to Pirates) was to collect as many as possible, then eject them into space.... fly back just to give them the sense of feeling that it was all a mistake and they were going to be re-rescued then shoot them.

I used to call it "Mercy Killing" - they begged for mercy and i killed them !!
