Odd, the only time I've seen a Pirate Base even be close to full on Slaves is just after a respawn.biggie1447 wrote:The reason I asked about the slaves because I tried once and couldn't sell them.
IIRC it's the Comm portrait.terrigat wrote:That is something I've been wondering about recently. What is the indicator that a mission is gonna give you pirate rep. Is it because you get a mission from a pirate station or do you have to just pay attention to the Comm portrait?

That means you were on a wrong type of a pirate base. Bases that sell mercenaries do not allow converting astronauts to slaves.biggie1447 wrote:I did try that but when I clicked on them there was no option to enslave them. I am going to try it personally when I get back home. Hopefully it will make a difference.

Are you sure? Cause at Pirate Bases that I bought Mercenaries, I was enslaving the ones that were worthless so I could recoup at least a little bit of my credits back.kurush wrote:That means you were on a wrong type of a pirate base.

Ive only tried enslaving once, and it was at one where i could buy merc's however it wasnt the mercenary training place it was just one of those random pirate bases which sold some (like military outposts)Deadbeat_Spinn wrote:Are you sure?

All pirate bases will convert and buy slaves; at least, I've never found one that didn't (except that special plot-related one). Rehab centers, anarchy ports and all other pirate-owned stations will not convert passengers to slaves.

They shouldn't, unless you're an enemy to them, and your complex just happens to be within firing distance of their turrets as they pass through the sector. Otherwise, you're safe from the good guys, but I wouldn't bet on the bad guys.

Things change in X universe but I definitely remember that I had to look for a non-merc pirate base to convert and then sell the astronauts I accumulated. Could be a bug that got eventually fixed. It actually looks like a bugDeadbeat_Spinn wrote: Are you sure?
