Workers Welfare Race Ship gone?

Post by rand__ » Tue, 15. Mar 22, 16:56

During this mission you have to provide a ship and a Captain to participate in a (scripted) race. After the race the ship seems to be gone - including my 5 Star pilot (Haile Shinamon from CoH) - at least he is not in my personal list any more.

Is it hidden away safely somewhere and maybe just does not show up any more or did Egosoft just "murder" my best pilot for second place?

That is why they said that second ship should be as cheap as possible. You lose the race and winner takes the ship, so when you teleport to second ship, it goes to them.

Also the racing pilot only had to be 2 stars or so. They had a 'better offer' from the winner's team after the race!

Oh, wait, it is different race. My previous answer is not correct then. I thought it is about race from DLC

There are two races,

one at the beginning of the quest to get the casino, after you have to complete the race course.
Thats scripted and (i think) does not mention the fact that the ship will be going to the winner and the Pilot will be gone. I also didnt see that you only need a 2 star pilot :/

Then there is a second race when you try to get the Protectyon, there it clearly says to get a cheap/crappy ship...

Ye, pretty sure it doesn't actually hint at the (first) racing ship being transfered to the NPCs. I did expect it so nothing I couldn't or didn't want to spare was lost but it might be prudent to make it clearer that the player doesn't get to keep the ship they deliver during the Worker Welfare questline. I'm already reading that people use unique ships like their Geometric Owls for this mission and then wondering where it went.

didnt realise this and used a 4 star pilot and the ship i got for the yaki story X.X, nothing really unique, most annoying was probably losing the 3 exceptional mods i had on that fighter.
