A rather interesting discovery - Spoilered

I don't know if anyone else has found this so :

YOU CAN PIRATE MILITARY PERSONNEL :twisted:

When I was in Argon Prime looking for gun crew I spotted a Transport destined for Light of Heart. Now that's a long way and it was getting close to my bed time so I followed it and after it entered Elenas Fortune I thought I would see if you could capture the Express. Well it took some persuasion, the captain offered some of his cargo (turned out to be his lone mossie missile) but I persisted. Eventually the captain bails and I take possession of the Express with 21 military personnel on board. Furthermore they seem quite content to man the guns on my Titan (the Valiant) without any hesitation at all :D , although that might have something to do with the payrate. Also I didn't lose a single percent in race rating with the Argon :? .

I think I have just found an easier way.

I got most of my personnel for my oddy by capturing. I found a split iguana to be perfect as then I could beam them straight aboard. The AI is a bit different to capturing pirates, they do actually try and run to safety and dock at the nearest station. I did capture well over 50 percent though, and the numbers of personnel seemed a lot higher than you can get by waiting in the docks. Some had 0-5 personnel but 20 -30 wasn't unusual, one even had 78!
