Hiring Officers & Sailors

[_Seth_]

When i am in the Barracks screen, i have the possibility to choose whatever Officer & sailor i want no matter what they cost in renown, even if i have spent all my renown on radars and sonar coatings.. All i get is negative renown... Is this a stock bug, or is it ment to be this way...?
Edit: the game is loaded via the commander, but i cant believe this has anything to do woth it...
Using GWX, off course.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: i just got in trouble coz of that. my boss was wondering what i was laughing at and caught me on the net :damn:

[_Seth_]

You guys...:rotfl::rotfl:Firewall, get off watch duty and hit the bunk. Its still warm after Bernard slept there..:D
mooncatt: dont get fired..:rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

Never noticed this before Seth :nope: ...My understanding is that you can only enlist crew that cost zero renown if your renown balance stands at zero :hmm:

[_Seth_]

Thats the weird thing..Even if the officers costs 500 renown, and i have 0, i can still "buy" them, and all i get is -500 negative renown...

So you get them with 'future profits';) :D :D :rotfl:

I had no idea the game was so capitalistic:p :p :D

:rotfl::rotfl:Yeah, looks like that, mate! "You can get zhe officer now, but you have to pay when you come back from zhe patrol, herr Kaleun!":rotfl:

[Torplexed]

Hmmm. So if I go into heavy renown debt to get me an elite crew and I come back empty-handed from a patrol will there be two rather intimidating guys named Guido and Vinnie waiting on the pier to break my thumbs? "The boss wants what's coming to him kaluen. Tonight you really sleep with the fishes..":o

Do they charge you interest as well :rotfl: :rotfl:

Do they charge you interest as well :rotfl: :rotfl: I surely hope not.... :rotfl:

[AVGWarhawk]

Sure there is negative renown. Just slap an 'IOU' on Doenitz desk and your good to go!
It is like buying a new car and you get a payment coupon book. Same idea;) Get some pin stripping while your at it.

Hay Seth, Go sink a couple of hospital ships while you are at it

Hay Seth, Go sink a couple of hospital ships while you are at it:rotfl:I dont fire at those wounded soldiers, mate. They are in enough pain as it is! :yep:

[Jimbuna]

So if you get KIA it aint all that bad...WTF the Fatherland can pick up yer tab :arrgh!:

[mr chris]

Seth i had the same thing happen to me on my career in GW1.1a. Never thought much about it at the time. Thought it must have been me that buggered up my install.:hmm:

Better with the fishes than with Bernard. :o

[Jimbuna]

So I don't need my visa then ? :lol:

[_Seth_]

I almost used PayPal to ship some money to UBI for those officers:lol:... then i realized: Is renown the same as dollars, pounds or euro...? Maybe the old Deutsche Mark?
