Gunnery crews!

Post by ennokT » Thu, 16. Dec 04, 08:43

Is it normal to only get 2-6 per transport? I've had a transport jumping around all he could to meet up where these guys dropped and the most i've goten is 6 from one. normal?

If you want more at one, find one of the navy transports, check it's destination and make it there before they do, that should help you get more crew in one try.

I got 10 once!

I then decided to park my transports in all the argon equipment docks and trading stations (only in sectors with equipment docks though) and just keep checking. If I see a military transport and see where it is going to dock then I just wait on the trading screen.

Persevere! they are worth it.

it is normal to get 0 to 5
it is possible to get 0 to 20
it is rare to get 0 to 100.

even when they dock, they are used up by the station at quite a rate. And they'll all disappear after 1 to 5 minutes anyway. But they ARE worth it.

  • On about 6-7 times out of 10, I got numbers of 0 to 5 :(

    but I had two big ones, where I once got 23 and another occasion 54. :D

    I put cheap Express's in to every Argon Trading and Equipment Station,

    so if I could not Jump and get there fast enough, I was able to see where it was going and hold the Trade menu open for the minute they were up for hire.

    This allowed me to get a 140 crew for my Titan much quicker :wink:

This is going to get a little easier soon. There is a change in the works to tweak the process a little.
