WIth 13 hours to go:
Mission 1: 1 Captain,(Lazlo ‘Scuttle’ Deepwalker)
Mission 2: 3 Captains (Milton “Mackey” MacMichael, Watford Gap, Hieronymus Farnsworth)
MIssion 3: 11 Captains
Mission 4: 5 captains.
At this point, 20 captains have not selected missions, which is unusually high. Perhaps S’rah Kline of The Colour Bomb has seeded an idea with her thesis [organised non-participation becomes viable as tool for corralling unizone behaviour][1].
To help the half of captains who have not yet chosen a mission:
assuming b2.0 to repair 1 HP of damage, an crude estimate of the likely average profit of each mission is:
Mission 1: 5 * (number of crates) - 60
Mission 2: b20
Mission 3: -b70
Mission 4: b50
If you take mission 3, you are basically paying b35 bp for each point of Grit.
For Mission 1 to pay as well as mission 4, one needs to carry 22 crates. Which just happens to be what Captain Lazlo is carrying. However, because Mission 1 has no chance of complete failure, it’s the better deal.
Enjoy Life. Make Money. Stay Alive.
