Hi,

After the Dauntless part and in the part where you gatther a team together, I was only able to recruit two team members. Including myself, we are a team of three.

I don´t mind but with a team of three, I wont have anyone in the targeting post on my ship, or I´ll have to switch someone from electronics to targeting.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Hi red2112 - There are 4 recruitable mercs on the trade station in Achmedius - Two are in the bunk area and two in the cantina area (one on the top level and the second down the stairs). Once you get your FTL drive, there are mercs all over the universe on various stations.

Look for the yellow dots on the radar/map. That should show you where the mercs are.

If the two team members you're talking about are people you met on the Dauntless, then you'll have to get through the next portion of the story line with just those two for a little longer. You will reach a point (fairly quickly) where those two leave you and you can recruit a total of 9 additional people to fill the four ground and four ship positions.

If you've already reached the point where you PAY to recruit members, then there are enough NPCs there to fill out all your positions if you have enough money to hire them. If you can only afford two, then you'll have to go short handed for a bit until you earn enough credits to hire more. If you can't find more than two, then you need to explore that area more carefully and talk to everyone, and if there is some OTHER reason you can't get more than two, then post again with more info. You MAY have encountered a bug.
Hi,

Thank you for your prompt reply. The two members that did follow me after the Dauntless already left (Dr. etc). So I was to recruit my team at the Achmedius Trade Station. I did manage to recruit two, but that´s it. The big guy (blue skin) up on the cantina said NO after a conversation. Then there´s NPC´s sitting around the bottom floors, and two other guys, one is a seller, and the other one is a pirate I would say, because he ask you some question regarding what you would do if you found some illigal goods.

I already have the FTL drive, and about 65k I made mining and some missions.

There are 2 that you can hire at the Trade Station that are in the cantina Area, where the Blue guy is (I assume thats the 2 that you got)

On your way to the Cantina area there is a side entrance to the spaceship merchants, go past them and you should walk down stairs to a bunk area, there should be 2 more that you can hire there.
Thanks again Halldojo,

I overlooked that bunk area. Yes there´s two guys there that you can recruit. If you save your game there before you recruit any of them, you can reload your save game until you find a recruit that´s of your interest...

In my case, I was looking for a recruit with some ability with targeting, so I reloaded a couple of times till a recruit with that ability showed up.

Thank you all for your help, and Don, I love your game! keep up the excelent work!

Your welcome, that area is easy to miss :)

Nice tip on the reloading, I somehow never thought about that, since I usually got what i needed from the mercs. I just love games that offer randomness like that.

We can recruit the 4th after or before the spiders?
Before we fight spiders, I didn't see where are those told recruits.
At the spiders the game crashed, so I have to continue.

You recruit your permanent crew once you get to the Trade Station - after leaving the ruins.
