Do you bother with the small ships?

[CapnKill]

You know after a while it gets annoying to deal with the small ships. A lot of wasted time for not much reward. Is it ok if I just shoot their arse down? Will I get punished for not cleaning up the crash site?

[Bomb Bloke]

You get points for simply downing craft. There's no need to clean them up if you don't want to.

 

Of course, you miss out on the extra score and resources.

Better still, arm oscillators and blast them out of existence.

 

You can use them as easy training grounds for new replacement recruits if there are any on hand.

I suppose. I mean w/ the Ion Mag armor, even rookies can clean out big ships.

[Zombie]

I normally ignore the shot down ships if they contain Lobstermen and I don't have blade/lance technology researched yet. I mean, why even bother with the heartache? Otherwise, why not. You might as well train some rookies on a reduced crew load. That should help make them better for when you come up against the bigger ships/missions.

Heh. It's TFTD, an unexpectedly wily bastard can wipe the floor with you anyway.

 

"*yawn* Another routine cleanup."
