TS ships doing alot of flying will be rewarded well


Fighters, same as

An m6 thats lasts for 20 + hours and kills over 100 ships will get somewhere around 2.5 million.

New Hire Commands For 1.3

Code: Select all

Hire TL :- 

Once hired your tl will choose a shipyard to work for and fly there, It will avoid xenon sectors if you have installed a jumpdrive and plenty of energy cells

Once it has finished it's mission you will be hailed and if the ship has enough energy it will jump to your sector.

Code: Select all

Hire M1 :- 

Very risky but plently of rewards for this.

Hiring your M1 will undertake the same conditions as the TL but on a touch more risky basis, Again keep the ship stocked with energy and a jumpdrive and you will be hailed before it undertakes anything too dangerous

Both these new commands are Military ones and there will be a risk to any M1 ship you use if you fail to support it when required.
