You will make out well when you encounter an advanced ship / large freighter with little damage.Oh ok so its pretty much a dice roll on what you'll get. Guess its my luck thats garbage then lol. I've been dropping my credits back into the mission fund when I'm low on $ cause I feel like crap for not paying them more than at least 500. I didn't even pay them for like the first 4 weeks anyway![]()
As far as paying your crew, it easiest to just let the game take care of it. Essentially everything over 20,000 credits is skimmed off the ship's working capital to pay the crew, including yourself. You can use your personnel funds to purchase other items come v0.50 and the total payouts to the crew will also affect other matters from v0.50 onwards.
