Well, we're moving to Caph. Things might be a bit harder out there. So I've decided to recruit a new member to the Blazing aces. But the only mech pilot I can find on Greely (okay, just in the bar, I didn't look hard), well...
she's a happy-go-lucky rookie. I don't care how "loyal" she is if she's dead in five minutes. But I bought a Locust for someone I'll hire on Caph.
So, I'm headed to Caph. It's probably the single core-most Davion world. Albeit the fare is a little pricy, we're off.
The neighborhood's a little- oh, did I mention?
Floating in SPACE? Shit yeah.
So, off to the bar, for some sucker to pilot my my Locust. Let's, see, who's OSHI-
What the hell? Did she fucking
follow me? A month later and halfway across the galaxy, she still wants to join my crew. I'm inspired by her foolishness. Instead I hire someone slightly less useless and a lot less creepy-
T. D. Bente Spartan 117.
So, then, let's put him in the Locust...
...and off to our next fight! Hopefully not to disaster, as we have only about 523,000 credits left, which will barely suffice if our mechs are knocked out of commission. But I'm becoming a master haggler, on the upside.
Did I mention I liked the guy in the Greely office more?
Contracts (prices shown after haggling and may not be totally correct due to randomization and the order in which the contracts were queried):
A) Disabling of a field Comm Center- 540,000 credits, 14% salvage, 16% upfront. 1 Medium Mech. Marik planet (this is bound to get them plenty ticked off... albeit quite lucrative).
B) Retrieval of Captured Mechs- 470,000 credits, 18% salvage, 14% upfront. 1 Heavy Mech. Kurita planet (don't know if I want to tick off Kurita, and possibly steiner with them- but we could run straight to the building and claim our reward without fighting for this one. Risky.)
C) Retrieval of Stolen Property- 280,000 credits, 11% salvage 8% upfront. 1 Light Mech. Marik planet (this is a really easy bet.)
D) Rescue of Hostages- 550,000 Credits, 14% salvage 8% upfront. 1 Medium Mech. Marik planet again (I think we're doomed to anger Marik if we keep working with Davion).
E) Defense of a Landing Facility- 510,000 credits, 16% salvage 8% upfront. 1 Heavy Mech. Davion planet (a heavy mech is tough, but if we're lucky we can blast at its back while it ignores us and heads for the landing facility, like all defense missions. Risky.)
So, what'll it be? The light mech one is easy. The medium mech ones will be a challenge, but we have a chance. The heavy mech ones will be risky and likely devolve into shameless shenanigans. Also, who do we risk angering? (our standings haven't changed since the last screenshot)
