Question about squad size and experience earning.

[Baxter]

Sorry, I keep coming back with more questions.

 

What is the maximum amount of people you can take on a single mission? I remember it being 6 in ss2, but the name bar looks like it has more room now.

 

Also, does taking less people to missions/random encounters give more experience? I didn't notice it in ss2 due to being able to take 6 from the start, but having to used 1 or 2 guys to start in SS2 seems to have given my main guy and the first person I hired a bit of a leg up experience-wise. Is this the case? Or is there no reason not to take as many people as possible.

Experience is gained by person for killing the enemy, so the more guys your 2-man squad dispatched - the more it gets xp.

 

You can use console to see how much exp your guys get and for what.

 

Limit is still 6 men for squad. But there are a couple of rescue/escort missions in the game where you will get extra men.

 

P.S.: a little advice - hire a good engineer ASAP...

 

P.P.S.: you can 'buy' skill points when you are at base (red '+' near the skill).
