Small minor issue with FOTRS but being the crew manager I am this issue will cause problems for any future players attempting to replace an officer.

In the NSS_Tambors UPC file the boat has a max of 6 Officers and 50 enlisted.

MaxPettyOfficers=50 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 4
MaxOfficers=6 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 7

The default crew loadout in FOTRS for Tambor class shows 6 officers...and 6 chiefs.

The problem is that the game counts chiefs and up as officers. So try replacing an officer and you can't...and never will until you get rid of 7 of the 12 crew the game engine recognizes as officers - CPO and up.

I haven't yet looked at any of the other subs as I just finished a clean install of SH4 and applied FOTRS to it to run a career from Pearl.

And now I think I have to go find a posting in the SH4 forums about someone unable to replace an officer!
