    • Has anyone got Marines to work?


      Has anyone got Marines in EVO 1.0.2 to actually work?

      I've got a sweet little outfit that should just give a shuttle craft the chance to take a buccanneer (FH heavy fighter type ship) — although it takes up all the cargo and mass space and can't be sold back.

      EVO is calculating a 75% chance on boarding. But I've been trying all night and I can't get it it to work.

      Has anyone had any success with this feature?

      'rines are best used in combination with stimpacks and medics. Oh, wait, wrong game.

      Anyway, yes, it works for me. I made an outfit called 'rines, made it give me 10 000 crew members, and attacked an UE destroyer, and a freighter. Both ships gave me a 75% success rate when boarding, and I took both.

      I have yet to try it with a more normal ammount of crew, say 100.

    • Martin, 75% is the best chance you can get. I've tried to get my plug to get a shuttle with a marines outfit (actually, it's a Repair Crew) to cpature/repair a Hyperion (Heavy Cruiser), and the max I can get is 75%. That's the maximum the game will allow.
