X2-Gunnery Crews

Post by Enda »

I am preparing for trips into Xenon space with my titan (1 osprey and 2 dragons back-up). But I would like to get military personal to increase my punch.
I followed a MT ship through ALOT of sectors, saw it was heading for a particular Equipment dock, so I docked on autopilot. Somehow I saw the express dock before me (I was in a Iguana, and closer to the dock!), but after landing I saw no MP in the station! I then saw another MT heading for the trading station in the same sector, and it deposited 70 MP. I raced to the station (it was really close) but by the time I landed there were none to be seen!
I was soooo annoyed. How can MPs sell so quickly? There cannot have been time for any other ships to dock. And how can these ships outrun my faster craft? Is there any way of getting MP that does not end up with me tearing my hair out? :lol: If I could not get them 10 seconds after they were deposited, what are my chances of hiring ay, unless I spend my whole life sitting in an equipment dock?
I know if I buy an equipment dock myself I can see where transports are going, but I don't have 50million to spend just to track these guys down!

were gunnery crews a later addition to X2? I don't recall ever seeing them.

I gave away my copy of X2 ages ago. I wish I hadn't now, it sounds like 1.4 brought in a lot of interesting stuff.

Isn't there some facility for ordering a list of the transports and their destinations? I seem to recall there was, although it cost money to use.

Also dock before the transport and save the game. The number of personel made available is generated randomly on docking, so if only one or two are made available reload until you get lots :)

you can capture the military transports (its a doddle in an iguana) if you dont mind taking a slight loss in race reputation
you should get a couple of dozen each time, more if you're prepared to reload and keep trying..
