You need to be careful when it comes to enlisting crew with NYGM. NYGM did away with renown 'costs' for equipment, changing it from 'renown cost' to 'upgrade time'; for example, adding new sonar 'costs' nothing, but there is a week or two required for installation and training the crew on the new equipment.
However, they couldn't change the enlistment (I believe they said that was because of it being hard-coded). When you go to barracks, the better trained officers and crew have a renown cost to them. DO NOT ENLIST THEM! Doing so will deduct their 'cost' from your tonnage record!
Instead, enlist the officers and crew that have a zero renown cost to them.
