Re: whats the point of untrained mercs?

when you don't have bank space left, untrained mercs make good investments. you buy for 1,500 and sell for 900 which is better than buying weapons where you you only get to sell at less than 50% value.

Also, when ascending they used to provide a good amount of APP vs what you would get for the naq you spend on them. Not sure if people still do that or if it still works that way. :D

That's a negative, you get more APP for the raw naq being burned up then you get for the UTM.

UTM are useless as far as ascentions go.
