Port Prosper Settler Transports. Too limited time.

[Nate Mc Bow]

I seem to more often than not, run out of time when transporting these guys. I have had a few die from illness along the way despite me literally BEELINING it to the destination. As for the ones who want a quick chorister kill, by the time i get to the site they spawn, they are fed up.

I think the time constraints here are a bit too harsh. I mean you can not really speed your ships up. I take the shortest path with no firefights and it still does not cut it.

Something of a necro. However, I'll second this.

Just now, I had a quest to deliver Settler to Lustrum. I Full Steamed nearly the entire journey directly there, using the second best engine.

"We are late !"

Please ease up the limits a bit.

Having them die along the way is actually the best thing that can happen.

I don't bother with settlers much now, waste of time unless you happen to get lucky and get a settler for an area you're going to already go to.
It's an okay payoff early game but I don't see the point later on.
They're just fluff to help set the scene for the game.

Would be kinda nice having a dedicated passenger style train to use ferrying people around seems like it could make for some neat unique events.
