This Makes Me Grumpy

Just venting, haha.

I've been back a couple of months now and my gang is starting to get it's 1st cappers.

What's making me grumpy was first my Assistant Gang Leader capped at 96. She is longest lived of all my gangers. She was the first one I hired that I actually payed for after my 5 beginning guys got killed.

And now, my Gang Leader himself has capped at 94! Grrrr!

Alright, I'm done venting. I hope my squad gets back soon....

My first leader (from my initial 5) capped at 86! She's no longer the leader but has gone on to be an excellent jack-of-all-trades. Spec'd across driving, ballistics, gunner, large guns, hand gun, and working on trucker.

She's also gotten up to 300 or so leadership. Don't get too grumpy about the low caps, leadership doesn't cap and there's plenty of skills to get specs from - just need to start cross training.

This, exactly. A year from now, your gang leader won't be you highest skilled player, but they may still be one of your best.

I am a month plus new player and got lucky enough to recruit a vet ganger shortly after my initial 5 freebies. She came in with guns at 50 with snipe, drv at 47 and sct at 81 with neg, but capped. She took over leadership of my gang and now is a 5 skill spec working on ballistics to get moving targets. Her cap has now been raised to 91 sct due to 10 points added after completing a story mission, 9 more points from somewhere in sct and she will be able to double spec. Not worried, it will happen, if not, she is still far and away my best ganger and will continue as such for quite some time. Chin up.

This is my longest living ganger, unofficial leader of the Circus, and still my best driver. I don't take him out much any more, I figure he's paid his dues with all the abuse he's lived through at such a tender age.

Main reason I posted him is that he initially capped at 97 in Driving.

'Cunning' Carolyn Fox; Are you the one that ditched her? If so, many thanks. Figured someone must have fired her, she came into the gang already with her nickname.

Not mine, was just wondering if she was.  I've dropped a lot of them over the years.  She may have a note in her personal history saying which gang hired her first, unless she is older than the update which added those notes, hmm, maybe a year ago or so.

Thanks for all of the replies. Hopefully all of my guys won't be low cappers, lol.

Now I am grumpy due to losing 3 of my rigs, my entire 2cd scout squad. Sure, we were being shot up a bit, but all 8 of my gangers giving it up before I gave the order, makes me grumpy.

I lost Endorama, an Apache that was just a couple of scouts from making Renowned, one of my Windy II's, and Awefensive X, my landy that had just made Renowned the scout before the disaster.

The only positive thing was that all 8 of my gangers made it back with some target practice and radiation sickness.
