I hated that quest. I waited until I had a couple level 50 skells with good Phoenixes and G-Busters and then brute-forced it.
Please note that spoiler tags are only out of respect for anyone who may want to enjoy the surprise of finding new members on their own. If the tags are deemed unnecessary, I'll remove them promptly. If you added the member to your available roster and want to know the exact way to get to them, Ctrl+F (or the equivalent elsewhere) and type in their name to find them listed.
I'll improve this later on but for now I hope it's useful for when you need to work out finding them the first time. The images are just the segment map from the guide. I'll also post a normal image of the area in the bold headers. Elma and Lin are just in the BLADE Barracks so there you go, two right off the bat. The first time you ask a character to join your party, their name will appear blue. After that it will not. Also keep in mind that you'll update the segment map when you speak to them so become familiar with their hangout spots quickly or else you'll fiddle with the Gamepad a lot to find the right hex. Assuming you've got a lot of completed segments lol
Finally, if they aren't there waiting for you it means they're at a Heart-to-Heart location that you can determine by overhearing NLA citizens with yellow speech bubbles. That will update FrontierNav with the segment data on where they are and when they'll show up.

Irina - Administrative District Upper Level, left side of BLADE Barracks. Segment 60. Walk past staircase while looking left at Interceptor area.

On the left hand side is a lift that will take you down to the Hangar area. Go down and turn left. As you head to the end, look towards the right to see a ramp up to where the tents are. Doug is at the benches.

Frye's recruitment mission was so insane, it was like those Salbats were being protected by a guardian angel. I couldn't fight them without something getting in the way. I ended up just killing one of them as fast as possible, then lose and kill to others the same way.
Just get some Drones and G-Busters. Watch its HP drain down by the drones while being bounded after staggering it with a G-buster.

this spot works the crystals in this spot respawn on you while idle here
in skells to avoid weather damage
I wonder if collecting the crystals will work against the AWFK anti-idle stuff that stops the cash flow
not that I need credits anymore

nah, if you save up tickets for the Ares 90 materials it doesn't take much time at all. I spent around 4000 tickets on the hardest-to-get materials, then after I finished the game it took me only 20 minutes or so to get the rest.
yes that's pretty much what I'm doing now. running around exploring what I thought was already explored and using my A90 to take care of all the monsters that trashed my lower level Skells.
still having fun after all these hours
Lol, good job.

that looks expensive
here is my claim to fame
this is restricted by armor storage space at 999 so you will need to sell all you carry and buy just Bikini parts to get the max 999 for this list
anyone willing to challenge me by deleting all the cool armor and rare one time fashion stuff? :3

Actually my insurance hasn't changed since forever lol.
And apparently wrecking teammate skells count since they've been getting destroyed non-stop today lol. Going after high lvl tyrants while trying to lvl up lvl 30 chars in lvl 30 skells lead to many wrecks

you sure it's number owned currently and not number obtained, as in you can sell them off?
Have you ever done any heart to hearts with them? If not, get the first 4 done and if you aren't at 5 hearts, you may be close. Clearing some basic missions should make for quick affinity iirc.

So it seems they wanted Gwin to be your "fourth" part member after
Also, the inventory/enemy index has alot of interesting bits as someone already mentioned the Murderess, it seems Prone/Ganglion children love to play with miniature versions of the rolling ball droid
pushing Lao aside, considering how obligatory affinity misdions have something to do with the main plot.

Yeah I did the first 4 today lol but I had to google where they were located. I think I only ever got hinted with his first one and that didn't even register on the map on the gamepad like Elma's or Lin's.
Alright, I'll keep doing regular missions then. Though I only ever see high level ones now ;~;

Cheers guys. Can I sell a Skell even when it's out of commission though?
Also, Is it worth selling my Level 20 Skell that I have Elma using? (we're all level 37, and it's not really pulling it's weight in tougher fights).

still an amazing achievement

good point that would make more sense
it would mean I could delete all bikini pieces and re-purchase them to double the number
lol still takes work and wasted credits

No you cant
There is a cave in Noctilum where you can farm credits too, it has one Guardian Tyrant and a probe, was kinda useful and had lots of treasure too
Lv 20 Skell is easily worst in the game despite sleek look, im not sure how much value it has but better to be on foot or replace it.
yeah I really don't know how you're expected to kill all the Saltats at around the required level without getting one shotted by that thing after it wakes up
weird mission

I noticed each Skell has a different standing land animation the amount of sand dirt or water they kick up while standing
A90 has the most the water looks like it is boiling under it

I don't know for sure have not tested that since it takes a full day to see results I got lazy or busy with side quest to test that out
it really should not but I took everything off all party members and went to farm stuff like fleecy fur
Update: this spot also works great for idle crystals
going to overnight test this spot

This Schnieder, the cliffpercher tyrant in Noctilum. When I was doing his Normal mission it says Harriers were having a difficult time with him.
HE'S STUCK ON A CLIFF AT LVL 10! HOW CAN HE BE SO HARD TO KILL?!

I remember that. You have to use ranged weapons on him unfortunately since there doesn't seem to be a way to get over that cliff without a Skell.
I was disappointed they didn't take the opportunity to kill Gwin off. With all of his affinity missions made mandatory, it'd affect nothing.
I'm surprised by how much I liked him - I was lukewarm at best on Shulk, but Phog is one of my favourite party members in X, despite being the product of a very similar archetype. Though speaking of which, I just did his second affinity mission with Frye - the overuse of the 'comical' theme in cutscenes was annoying before, but putting it in every single scene there regardless if it even remotely fit bordered on self-parody.

This is probably the most talkative online squad I've been on so far. Funny group too.
"Are the Orpheon's more advanaced than the Ma-non?"
"Guys no spoilers!"
"Snape kills Dumbledore!"
"Aeris Dies"
"The guy in 6th sense is a ghost"
Good times

Talkative squads are the best! You meet some really cool people in this game. Unfortunately chat can get really laggy with lots of people chatting and it can be several minutes before you see what someone types

Aww, what? I saw that the quest to kill Barnabas the Despot gives a "disguise" as a reward, and I was all, "this sounds awesome." I finally manage to kill him, all skells destroyed, the rest of my party dead...and the "disguise" is
just another Party Suit. Now, the party suit is cool* and I'm happy to have another, but that name just makes it disappointing.
*On men. The female version isn't a bad design, it just doesn't really suggest "party suit" much at all, which is weird.

Is it that crab thing on/near the waterfall? Because that was surprising and I actually almost overshot jumping to its ledge on my mech.

Guys, I lied.
I was gonna give up on Mia but then I got side tracked and started doing some quests. Also started to finish some I started a while back.
Some of them increased Cauldros survey % to my surprise. And suddenly I found myself at 63.9%.
Then I found an easy Tyrant to destroy. 65.2%. I made it. #WEMADEIT

I skip all dialogue, voice or text, lol
Best is when i accidentally kill npcs on kissions due to not having any context
I'm so frustrated. I spend hours leveling up because I'm not usually good at RPGs, then they have a scaling system where anyone below you level wise gives you squat minus exp. So I leveled up from 30-50 yesterday and since doing tons of missions and three story chapters, I'm only level 51 now.
Then my skells are weak as shit, I have like, no money, and it took hours to get 1,000,000 space bucks, just to find out you need almost 5,000,000 to get the big skell.
I have I think a chapter and a half left, should I just cash in my money to max out gear on my level 30 skells and characters to knock out the rest of the main story?

Are there any other level 60 Skell weapons other than the ones you can craft? Stuff for slots other than back and shoulders?
Drops I presume, but I couldn't tell you where. I'd try looking for mech enemies over level 55.

Yeah, I initially assumed it was about Elma. They made a point about how much Lao cares about his unit and he even tried to tell Lin to sit this one out. So I was really surprised it was him.
Do you mean the scene where Lao gives Lin the terminal? I thought that entire scene was fine actually. I mean the only criticism I can give it is that it got too anime preachy at points but otherwise I loved it.

This is one of my favorite tracks from the OST so I loved hearing the first half in the cutscene. I was waiting for it to show up in the game. I thought it fit the scene perfectly.
I do think the scene with Tatsu at the end was really sweet. Greedy, hungry fucker actually
shared his lunch with someone.

There's a mountain of dead level 55+ mechs behind me so high that I'm starting to question who the real villain in this game is, but no sign of any level 60 Skell drops. Same for Armour, come to think of it.
