"Don't matter to Nef one whit you're an engineer or a lowly thrower. You owe, you go. That's where Ticker comes in, ray of sunshine that she is." Ticker is a Solaris who serves as a medium for players to help pay off the debts of other Solaris, located on a platform above The Business' shop and can be accessed by a small elevator that can be found to the left upon entering Fortuna. By buying off debts, she rewards the player with two or three types of Debt-Bonds, which can be turned in for Solaris Standing or can be used to buy secondhand ornaments and decorations for the player's Orbiter. Purchase Debt-Bonds Ticker will have 5-8 possible debts available for the player to purchase with each including a number of Debt-Bonds. Lower tier  Training Debt-Bonds and  Shelter Debt-Bonds are always on offer, while higher tier Medical, Advances, and Familial are on offer at times. Each debt is tied to a unique case identifier and requires 5,000-350,000 credits and 0-2 additional resources, with the rewarded debt-bonds scaling up with the cost. Additionally, each case is set to an expiry timer, before being replaced by a new one. Timers are limited to 8 hours, so visiting her 8 hours later will guarantee that the selection of all debts on offer will be completely refreshed. These cases also provide information about the Solaris with each one noting the Solaris' profession, details about their lives, their criminal records, and their respective punishments.[1] View Possible Case Details List▾▾ Occupation One of these appear in the file.

Hire Railjack Crew Members Main article: Railjack/Crew Being at least Rank 1 in the Command Intrinsic unlocks the ability to hire NPC crew members from Ticker. Every 24 hours following the daily reset, there will be up to seven crew members available to be purchased, each with a randomized name, stats, flavor text, and cost. Each of these crew members is associated with a particular faction Syndicate and the player's standing with each syndicate is used to determine potential discounts and taxes on their cost. Being at positive standing with a syndicate will grant up to to 50% discount on the respective crew member. Conversely, being at negative standing will add an additional tax to crew member costs, up to double their initial value. Note that: Crew members bought with credits will have 8 competency points distributed across their stats Crew members bought with Railjack resources will have 10 competency points distributed across their stats Elite Crew members, unlocked at Command Intrinsic Rank 10, will have 12 competency points distributed across their stats, and a passive based on their highest stat. Base Costs Crew members have a base credit cost of 100,000-120,000 Credits. For crew members that require Railjack resources to purchase: Types Elite Crew Elite Crewmates have a random trait based on which of their Competencies have the most points. Competency Bonus Piloting +25% speed for Vidar/Lavan/Zetki engines Gunnery +50% damage for Vidar/Lavan/Zetki turrets Repair Gain 50% Movement Speed for 10 seconds after repairing Repair Heal all teammates for 1000 Health when this crew member drops below 30% Health (Cooldown: 5 min) Combat Increase Critical Damage by 300% while Health is below 50% Combat +150% Critical Chance bonus with Rifles/Pistols (stacks additively with mods like  Point Strike) Endurance Activates a protective shield when taking near lethal damage (60 second cooldown) Endurance Killing an enemy heals all nearby allies by 500 over 10 seconds Lore Trivia Ticker is voiced by Guy Cunningham. Head writer Cam Rogers has confirmed that Ticker is a transgender woman.[2][3] Patch History Hotfix 35.5.1 (2024-03-27) Fixed a script error caused by viewing Crew Members at Ticker. Update 35.5 (2024-03-27) Fixed Familiar and Advances Debt-Bonds rarely showing up in Ticker’s Cases offerings. Now, the Cases she offers will always include at least 3x Common, 1x Uncommon, 1x Rare Cases to ensure that rare Debt-Bonds can be acquired at any given time. Hotfix 31.5.6 (2022-05-04) Fixed crash when opening up the ‘Hire Railjack Crew Members’ window at Ticker in Fortuna. Update 30.5 (2021-07-06) RAILJACK COMMAND RANK 10: Introducing Elite Crewmates! Stronger crew members become available for recruitment from Ticker. Update 29.10 (2021-03-19) Once you’ve unlocked your Command Intrinsic and have Crew Member Slots for Crewmates, it’s time to visit Ticker in Fortuna. She can put you in touch with a wide variety of people from all across the Star Chart for the right Hire price! Their price may be determined by your alignment with certain Syndicates - some Crew will join you at a discount, and others double the price! Your Syndicate alignments determine all. Update 28.0 (2020-06-11) Fixed several of Ticker’s Second Hand Decorations appearing off center from their dioramas. Update 27.0 (2019-12-13) Improvements towards the algorithm of dynamic vendor (Hok, Ticker, etc) items to guarantee even appearances. Hotfix 25.1.2 (2019-06-12) Hovering over Debt Bonds in Ticker’s purchase screen now displays the amount you’re getting, as opposed to just how many you already own. Update 24.6 (2019-04-04) Ticker has added a Venus Bounty Trap to their Secondhand Wares! A true hunter keeps their tools close at hand. Hotfix 24.0.7 (2018-11-15) Since the initial release of Fortuna, the acquisition of Debt-Bonds has proven to require further changes in order to bring balance between the procurement methods. As it is known, you can obtain Debt-Bonds by purchasing Ticker’s Case# or from Bounty rewards. Ticker’s inventory not only took quite some time to refresh, but the inventory itself did not offer a diverse source at any given time. Considering the cost at which Debt-Bonds are required to Rank up in Solaris United, we have made the following changes to bring a more balanced rotation for Ticker: There will now always be 3 Common, 1 Uncommon, and 1 Rare Case# available at any given time. Increased the rate at which Ticker’s Case# inventory refreshes by reducing the duration they persist for. Hotfix 24.0.2 (2018-11-09) We have removed an unintentional multiplier within ticker’s Case# purchases, which resulted in some players receiving 5x/10x/20x the indicated Debt-Bonds. There was a bug causing this multiplier under the hood. A script is running to remove the accidentally multiplied goods. You will be left with the intended amount (i.e if you bought 10 but received 70, you'll have 10). Update 24.0 (2018-11-08) References
