Greetings Pilots!
By now you have surely heard about the new legendary “Captain Cranium” and his coinciding criminal faction. Please read more about Captain Cranium here.
In eXode, you have plenty of options available when starting a new game and in this post we want to expand a little more about the relationship between the Syndicate and the Criminal factions of @exodegame.
If you are one of those lucky enough to get a Captain Cranium card and select him for evacuation, this will automatically set your crew to the criminal faction.
The Criminal faction is also an origin like the Navy Lieutenant, Ark Scientist, or Elected Leader only it has yet to be released.
Did you see our last post on the Syndicate faction and decide to dedicate yourself and sign the Syndicate contract? Well, it turns out that Criminal and Syndicate are a match made in hyperspace because the Syndicate faction has Criminal cards as well! You don’t have to worry about benching all your Syndicate cards if you use the legendary “Captain Cranium”.
With Syndicate/Criminal Hybrid crew when led by Cranium, you can't recruit the Syndicate keyword, but you can still recruit them thanks to the Criminal one.
For example;
Like we pointed out in our previous post, being a criminal has its advantages in space. Need to get that hyperspeed upgraded in a pinch and conventional methods holding you up? Then you can select the Syndicate Hacker to get that evacuation to hyperspeed in no time!
While your hacker is busy upgrading the hyperspeed, you will need a strong arm outside of your ship defending against pesky raiders and thieves. With his shooting and stealth abilities, the Syndicate Trooper will make sure your cargo stays onboard and will pacify any threatening individuals who start poking around your ship.
One thing about Syndicate is that all the officers are female, and that’s no different with the criminal element. This strong Syndicate officer will help you keep your hybrid criminal crew in check. The Syndicate does not tolerate failure and neither will the Syndicate Squad Leader. Using every available asset, she will help lead your crew to victory!
Don’t forget about Syndicate/Criminal weapons and equipment as well. As you saw in the last post the use of drugs (and their production) have a major influence in the eXode universe are a closely related to Syndicate and Criminal activities.
The above mentioned scenarios are mostly associated with Evacuation gameplay, but we cannot forget about what comes after evacuation and that is colonization!
You will need a really diverse crew, but what about equipment?
Here is a sneak peak of such equipment from eXode artist @nachofigx:
