Slaver Boarding

[Tuuvan]

I would love to see a quest appear after killing the crew of a slave ship (via boarding, not O2 depletion) with the option to return the slaves to their homes. One of the rewards could be a slave asking to join your crew upon successful return.

good idea.

This is a good idea - that could give the player a way to get more crew at once as well.

If you can board and defeat the crew, you should have more to choose from for crew rewards.

This dovetails really well with someone who is playing a boarding game, because you stand to have more attrition that way.

I would suggest that if you capture the ship, you have the option of recruiting the freed slaves immediately (2 of them? That way, it's a bigger reward than simply beating the slavers into submission), and if you return them, it creates a quest marker and they provide a random reward (scrap/supplies/weapon) with a chance to join your crew then.

I'd also suggest that suffocating the slaver crew automatically kills all the slaves as well (I think I freed a slave after suffocating the slaver crew in one instance. o.O)
