Weapons: | EMP Projector; Hvy. Mining Laser | |
Letzer: | ?? | |
Ship: | Dart | |
Subjective Ranking: | OK pilot, but you get what you pay for. Either defending you or capships, she keeps enemies on the defensive, but she doesn't know how to attack. |

Cost: | 1350 cr.; 7% | |
Weapons: | Deimos Hvy. Laser, Hvy. Mining Laser, Tiger Missiles | |
Letzer: | 79 | |
Ship: | Piranha | |
Subjective Ranking: | In order to get her as a wingman, you have to save her life in the "GalSpan Escort" mission. It's more than worth the trouble. She's got the second-best attack (Next to Bernardo). The only thing that stops me from keeping her until the end of the game is that she flies a lower class ship, and her defense skills suck. (This is the only exception to the comparison rule I gave above.) |

Ship: | Cutlass | |
Subjective Ranking: | Pretty good pilot overall. She has excellent weaponry, and she's available at a good price. |

Cost: | 2650 cr.; 12% | |
Weapons: | Boron Med. Laser, Hvy. Mining Laser | |
Letzer: | 73 | |
Ship: | Dart | |
Subjective Ranking: | He's not great for defense, because he's bad at maneuvering, but he's good at destroying enemies. He's also funny.... of course, I might just think that because his science and sci-fi trivia and puns remind me of me. |

Weapons: | Flare Med. Laser, Pulsar Laser, Spire Rockets | |

Ship: | Piranha | |
Subjective Ranking: | A machine. The great thing about it is if its destroyed, its available for hire again. Aside from that, I don't really like it. |

Weapons: | Deimos Hvy. Laser, Tiger Missiles | |

Ship: | Pegasus | |
Subjective Ranking: | She's a decent pilot, but she's horribly expensive. She also carries bad weaponry. |

Weapons: | Deimos Hvy Laser x2, Swarm Missiles, Tiger Missiles | |
Letzer: | 78 | |
Ship: | Poseidon | |
Subjective Ranking: | What's grosser than gross? A hickey on a hemmorhoid. And this guy would do it. Personally, I think the only use for him is the Demeter mission where he butters up Captain Martez, saving you from fighting a wing of Orions. To be honest, I haven't used him much aside from that mission, so take that into account. |

Cost: | 2200 cr.; 10% | |
Weapons: | Pulsar Laser, EMP Projector, Spire Rockets | |
Letzer: | 92 | |
Ship: | Piranha | |
Subjective Ranking: | Much better than the original in every way. Good value for the price, and like the original, replaceable. |

Weapons: | Deimos Hvy. Laser, Swarm Missiles x2, Tesla EMP Missiles | |

Subjective Ranking: | Pretty good at what she does, although a bit pricey. Lots of missiles. |

Weapons: | Pulsar Laser, Spire Rockets, Inertia Sappers, Phase Sappers | |
Letzer: | ?? | |
Ship: | Mace | |
Subjective Ranking: | You'd think all he's good for is the one mission, "Sour Colony", but he's an excellent wingman. Fairly good weaponry, excellent attack and defense. |
Name: | Captain Jond Rand | |

Cost: | 3550 cr.; 12% | |
Weapons: | Pulsar Laser, Hunter Torpedo, Disruptor Torpedo, Spire Rockets | |
Letzer: | ?? | |
Ship: | Gar | |
Subjective Ranking: | His description has a lot of caveats, but I've never had a problem with him. In fact, he's one of my favorite wingmen, and I'd say he's as good as - if not better than - Bradford Brixx. Rand occasionally forgets orders if you don't talk to him for 5 minutes, and goes and attacks whatever he wants. |

Subjective Ranking: | Good attack, good defense, average weapons, and good overall value. |

Weapons: | Pulsar Laser, Spire Rockets x2, Plasma Rockets, Helios Rockets | |
Letzer: | 90 | |
Ship: | Claymore | |
Subjective Ranking: | I really don't like this guy. Weapons out the wazoo, excellent fighter, OK defense.... but he's always hitting me with weapons because he doesn't care if I die. I don't ever bother with him because The Demon is available a couple missions later. |

Weapons: | Pulsar Laser, Hunter Torpedo, Swarm Missiles, Spire Rockets | |
Letzer: | ?? | |
Ship: | Gar | |
Subjective Ranking: | The last in the Jasper series. Good thing, in my opinion. They're starting to get annoying. Decent weapons, (as compared to other wingmen now available) average fighting and defensive skills, and yet again, replaceable. Good for the pilot who cant keep wingmen alive, useless otherwise.
I must say I like part of the description: "Impervious to combat |

Cost: | 6125 cr.; 20% | |
Weapons: | Deimos Hvy. Laser x2, Hunter Torpedo, Solaris Torpedo, Blast Torpedo | |
Letzer: | 99 | |
Ship: | Phoenix | |
Subjective Ranking: | In my opinion, simply The Best Wingman Available. His odd messages don't interfere with his ability to be the best. Excellent attack and defense, and value to the credit is amazing. The ONLY wingman I've NEVER seen die. (I once killed him myself, just to be sure that he didn't have God mode, but my ENEMIES have never killed him.) |

Letzer: | ?? | |
Ship: | Warhammer | |
Subjective Ranking: | She's very good, but she is single-minded, and sometimes gets shot because she's focusing on one target exclusively. |
