Stowaway

Post by MarvinTheMartian » Sun, 31. Oct 10, 00:22

Just bought a 2nd hand Boa from the shipyard in Light of Heart, it was a bit pricey at 485k Cr for 93% of a ship that (apparently*) costs 295K Cr new but it did have a Jumpdrive and a couple of IREs along with the whopping 1mj shield.

Being in a shipyard, I wasn't able to scan for other cargo so I decided to risk the purchase, there might even have been another ship docked!? Anyway, I got all the equipment promised plus a stowaway, a 4* Marine! (5* fight & engineer, 3* mech & hack)

Now I'm a long way from even thinking about boarding so don't know what to do with this marine. Can you sell them to barracks? If so, how much is it worth?
Will it stay on my ship indefinitely or decide to depart next time I dock somewhere more interesting than the cargo-hold of a TM? Do I need to feed it cahoona burgers?

Don't know how much "Sir, Yes Sir" I can take so what should I do with this Jarhead?

Cheers

*apparently - because I haven't found a Split yard that sells them yet and using data from Roguey's most excellent X3TC site.
Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

Keep the Marine, 5 star fighters are worth keeping. Plus if or when you do train him he will cost less money/time and because he has 5 stars in fight he has a very good chance at survival when you start boarding.

Yep, just slap him to do some extra training with the territorials around Desert Road and you'll have a nice leader marine waiting for when you start boarding. :)
