Hey guys, I left a Spathi on Pluto in a huff, couldn't convince him to join me.  Should I have tried harder?  I have heard from people saying that they use a Spathi ship for things such as pwning Kohr-Ah...  Just wondering if they picked 'em up from that first encounter.  :P

Yes, he can join you.

damn it, should I start over?  I ain't that far on this attempt lol :P

You can just return to Pluto when you're in Sol and then get him to join you.

I don't think you can do that. When you encounter Fwiffo, you have a choice to convince him to join you or kill him.

EDIT: Although, you could leave I suppose by fleeing the battle.

Yes you want to recruit him.  He's useful, particularily early in the game.  In trying to recruit him, remember that Spathi are abject cowards, and use it to your advantage in your dialog choices.  Don't act like you're scared of him, but don't pick a fight with him either.

Edit:  It may also be to your benefit to practice using the Spathi Eluder in combat, in SuperMelee.

hey thanks guys :)  Practiced in super-melee and I also have the guy. (I flee'd the battle but he wasn't there afterwards so I restarted).  Thinking of taking out some Kohr-Ah. XD
