Crew Purchasing

[Dal]

I discovered this tonight.

 

1. Have the crew on your ship set to auto assign.

2. Have your ship desire a large amount of crew. (20+)

3. Have your ship crew desire Sergeants or Lieutenants so that the purchased will auto assign those slots as well.

3. Hire 20 crew.

 

The station will charge you for 20 crew and deduct 20 crew from their inventory. Once you open the crew tab for your ship, you will have a single officer slot filled and the rest of the crew you purchased will be missing. This bug will be existent as long as you have officer spots to fill.

 

Bandaid: Don't use auto assign crew on your ship when you purchase crew in bulk and need officers. If you purchased the bulk crew with auto assign off, and then turn it on when they are all sitting in the crewman ($80) tab, it will work as it should.
