[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

The two ships could always split up and reconvene later at a pre-agreed location. Having two ships would likely be a good idea simply because we might have crew members we wish to recruit that could give us a huge advantage, like Big BOssB did.

I do believe the game is rather strict about splitting up. Remember when we lost Hermes? And even if it is possible, splitting up makes little sense from a tactical viewpoint.(Latta, why can't the Mercury come with the Cupid? Is that planet that dangerous? Are you sending us there to die?)
