Gunner in Frozen Heart

First of all, let me say that this is a fantastic, engrossing game. That said, here's a question: Is it possible to get rid of the gunner once you have "bought" one? I can't complete the black hole mission, because I have insufficient space for the big bomb. If I could get the gunner off the ship, I could do it. Any advice for a fellow addict?

Tricky one.

Sounds like a union issue.

If you get them to build you a new TF at DTE unit in the Riga system, the gunner won't come with it.

Hmmm. tried your suggestion, but gunner stayed with new TF ship. I don't have an earlier pre-gunner saved game, so will start a new one. Thanks...is this a bug that can be fixed, or just one of those game parameters we play with?

No, it's not a bug.

You could try ejecting and buying a new TF. That should get rid of the gunner.

I had the same problem, so I had to um, "modify" the black hole since I couldn't carry the bomb with the gunner. The gunner stays with you when you change ships.
Ejecting should work, though. Heh, seems a bit extreme, sorta like faking your own death to get rid of the gunner.

mmm. I came up with another solution to the weapons space problem....Duh, who needs the old dimensional drive on a tachyonic ship? Ditch it with the DD downgrade in an outfitters...frees up lots of space, doesn't hurt your mobility.

- Sometimes just asking the right question puts you on track.

------------------

I was under the impression that the DD downgrade increases your jump time by a day (days?) even for the TF. I remember avoiding it for that reason, since there are many time critical missions in FH. I can't remember now if there are any after the black hole mission though - I think it's one of the last missions anyways?

Well, you know how it is with these union types.

Seriously though, 'editing' the black hole seems to rather miss the point.
