hi guys,
ive got a mechanic onboard and it does popup msgs saying repair made etc - but my sails still get a hammering which impacts fuel use
question:do i need to be carrying certain cargo to help with the repairs? or is the amount of sail damage just reduced with mechanic on board?
thanks
dan

I believe crystals were used.
Sorry, seldom carry mechanics or first mates to notice (they're jettisoned out in space to make room for more useful officers).

When you're deeper into the game, you'll find many excuses to fire ol' Sausage-Lips. He's somehow related to Marvel's Apocalypse, I'm sure of that. No love lost there.

hi Cory
slight side topic - what was that thing on the wiki about a special ship that you can put on a planet to create some sort of base? sounds crazy cool imo - is it a coming feature?
cheers

I believe crystals were used. Sorry, seldom carry mechanics or first mates to notice (they're jettisoned out in space to make room for more useful officers). I admit the First Officer goes the instant the other 2 slots are full and I want something else. But I LIKE the mechanic for 'run of the mill' roaming around destroying ships. In impossible I can see how some might find the mechanic redundant. You aren't roaming in impossible. You're going from A to B because fuel is so freaking expensive and the enemy captains are tough buggers. The cost of repairing your sails becomes redundant in the face of dying without say a Pilot, an alien hunter for those big alien ship price bags, and whatever other officer of your choice. |
