Finally got my Gunnery Crew together
Man, it only took me 3 hours with all kinds of cheating: multiple reloads, equip-all-ships-at-once trick to get 90 drunkards to man the turrets on my Ody.
And I had to buy an EQ dock, to get those reports.
I've used 3 stations for reloads - around 15-20 reloads each.
On the very first time I got 27 ppl, after that no matter where and how many times I was reloading, once got 11, the rest of the time 1-4 ppl.
Then I got lucky, one of the transports was going to Argon Prime's EQ dock, so I bought 10 Express and only had to reload twice, to get number of Military Personnel available at EQ dock at 5, so I bought 50 of them at once
Now onto Khaak and Xenon, to see what difference AEGIS will make in combat, hopefully it's worth 54 Mil

Ah, I'm just beginning the lengthy and annoying task - so far I've managed to find and follow 3 transports (can't afford an EQDock at the mo so I can't get the reports) and have accumulated a total of 6 personnel. Now I'm seriously planning to see if I can possibly capture one of the transports to get all 100, because otherwise it's going to take forever.
The irony is that the reason I can't afford an EQD is because I bought AEGIS in preparation for getting the personnel, I hadn't realised they were going to be so insanely hard to find!

Would you allow whipping? as keel-hauling wouldn't really fix the problem of the one - too messy. Mind you, you could always tie 'em to the radar or cannon barrel with a low pressure in his suit!

Well, they are military personnel, so probably will resist capture. I just want to get the pilot to stop the ship so I can get first dibs on hiring them. Of course it won't be that easy, but that won't stop me trying.

Well, tried them out in battles - they are well worth it, I'm pretty happy.
It's kinda nice to watch them work - parked my Oddy in front of Xenon Shipyard (after obliterating a couple of sectors NW of it) and was watching , how they switch weapons. Kinda neat: most of the time they got GPPC going (for range), but when due to some fancy flying a couple of Xenons get closer and/or launch a bunch of missiles - a couple of shots of GPSGs and it's all clear again
Finally was able to take Oddy against 2 Xenon M2 at the same time - just flew right in between - both dead My shields were like 20% after that, but both big boys R.I.P.

So what do you think of the 'Maximise Captures'? have you tried that yet? or are you after max combat increase.

I am gonna try to take my Oddy to cap some Ks - see, what happens with that. I am not really interested in capping smaller crafts anymore - just finished XI with 47 kills (3 Js, 2-3 Ks, bunch of L,M,N) and got paid over 180 Mil..., I might take it to Khaak space, cap some of those, for prestige only - I already have 9 fully equipped KM3 and have recently sold around 30 B-and 20 A-Kyons to raise my trade rank.
