Favorite thing to do with pilots...

Post by elli222 »

Pilots, whats your favorite thing to do with them?

for those unfamiliar to waht a pilot is, its a escape pod...
whenever you destroy somthing a lil pod comes out called a pilot

if you beam pilots in with your tractor beam then they are counted as contraband cargo
and you have to sell/dump/eject them OR you can kill them with your lazors! POLL discuss! debate i say!
(and maybe a sticky... i can dream cant i? :twisted: )

mm.. I generally sell them... except when I miss with the tractor beam and some how they get launched at extreme velocities in the opposite direction I'm flying :P so I can never catch them.. (i figure they enter spec or something)

If i'm playing the Privateer Remake i will tractor them in and then sell them, but to avoid trouble with the Militia I set them free (their turned into Hitchhikers) until just before i dock where i enslave them and sell them.

In VS if I'm playing as a pirate i will either shoot them or enslave and sell, or if i'm playing with my other saved game i will just ignore them.

I usually haven't got enough free cargo space to do anything but ignore them or blast 'em.

Depends on my game, if I'm playing as a normal merchant I'll normally just blast them, if I'm playing as a pirate, I tractor them in and sell them

well it's not letting me vote for some reason, but i tend to just tractor the entire damb ship, pilot and all. then i sell it pilot and all. if i haven't stolen his ship it's because i got blown up.
