In the SD Gundam sequel Crossfire, Players gained the "Dispatch" feature, which allowed them to send warships and mecha out to carry out missions independently.
As long as the warship, mecha performance, pilot strength, and other factors met a mission's requirements, once the mission was completed, the warship would return with extra money, parts, and mecha that had gained experience.
Cheng Tian's Beyond the World template was still stuck in the PSP era, so it naturally lacked this later Dispatch feature. However, the number of pilots and mecha currently under his command had already successfully met the basic requirements for forming a first, or even second, warship squad.
For special talents like Rocher, Heart Domon, and Ryoma Nagare, the strength and number of enemies faced during recruitment increased in tiers.
Correspondingly, when recruitment costs decreased, the enemies encountered would also weaken and diminish in number, and Dimensional Tremors might not even appear at all.
In SD Gundam's recruitment list, the cost of crew members such as captains and logistics personnel generally did not exceed 20,000.
And given the composition of Cheng Tian's legion, he only needed to ensure that the key core positions aboard the ship were filled by recruited personnel. Ordinary work could be directly handled by Martians.
That meant he only needed to outfit one warship and nine mecha, then assign a captain, vice-captain, communications officer, helmsman, mechanic, the heads of six major departments including the VIP seat, and nine pilots to form a standard warship squad.
However, considering the endurance required for long-range warship operations, as well as Earth's current Energy Crisis, warships that needed to frequently return to the Scorching Sun for replenishment, or might need to rely on other countries for energy supplies, were temporarily ruled out.
Although Cheng Tian personally really liked those two
