What do you mean, mate is like the best crew member of them all. Having extra events between enemy encounters makes it a lot easier to keep up with the difficulty curve...
I think he means that mate is useless in late game since he can't trigger additional events during endless
Can't he? I don't remember intentionally making it that way...
What I meant is that he seems to only trigger extra events like 1 time out of 6, I remember it being more useful, but I might be wrong.
