Renown - Boat or Crew?

GreyBeard · 12-07-06, 11:17 PM

Which do you spend most of your renown on, the best boat or the best crew? Do you spend any renown on crew members? Has anyone found that using crew members that cost the most renown leads to a better crew, especially in the long run? Do you upgrade your IIA to a IID and then improve that with the latest and greatest or just wait until you've accumulated enough renown to get a VIIC or IX?

I limit my renown to my boat upgrades personally.
I like to hold on to my starting crew and advance them as far as I can without hiring other hands. I do recruit one other officer before my first patrol but thats it, and he is free (0 renown).

I spend mine on the boat. It's my job as captain to ensure that the crew is trained hard and effectively to become a well oiled machine. The experence will come with each patrol......I hope

I've heard that ur crew members can gain Qualifications, I have yet to see this happen, Is this true?

They can't earn them automatically, but after every patrol you can give 1 qualification out to any crew member via the awards panel.

Or use SH3Cmdr and dish them all out in one go

On the boat, definitely!

Yes, I know that they earn them after every patrol, but how do I award them the qualifications? I know how to dish out medals, but qualifications?
