Why are my passengers miserable?

superflyguy · Feb 2, 2017

I picked up 6 Explorer missions to destinations around SagA*. Dandy thinks I.

We are 8.5 kylies away from Sol in a shade under 4hrs - not bad! So why do i have one passenger 'unhappy' and one 'miserable'?

Hull = 100%
All modules = 100%
Not scanned all journey
No overheats while scooping

So what the heck is going on? is it because i didn't bring dancing elephants?

Is there anything I can do to make them feel more loved as I don't what to lose the thick end of 100Mcr for no reason!

flying happy!

I haven't tried the long range missions but I've done plenty is 1-2k ly's passenger missions. Did you miss a request to stop for something? I was half way to the North Star when one of them requested cigarettes. I couldn't get them so I believe they became unhappy.

Tell them to cheer up or you'll strap them to your SRV and use them as bumpers.

Apparently, passenger satisfaction only ever goes down, never up. So once they become sad monkeys, you can't cheer them up again. The best you can hope for is to not upset them so much that they eject.

Are they secretive? they probably are, I think all of the long range passengers are secretive, which means they hate it when your ship gets scanned. You might have got scanned when you were leaving the bubble, or have you docked anywhere along the way? Be very careful not to get scanned when you head back for the starport, if they are already unhappy then one more scan and they will abandon ship, and I'm not even joking, they WILL abandon ship!

It would suck to go all the way to Sag A and back only to have your passenger bail right outside the slot...

Passengers are like bad wives. Nothing you do will make them happier.

Are you making sure to offer them bottles of water and mint?

Yes, they certainly are secretive but I was definitely not scanned on the way out of the starport, I even sacrificed jump range at the thrusters altar to be sure of being able to multi boost out of the slot!. I haven't stopped (only for earthlikes!) so no scans on the way out.

really weird, and I have to say quite annoying as I’m only about a 1/4 of the way through the trip!
