Didnt' work. I changed it to 7, the Stern rest area, loaded the game, he didn't show up in the barracks, so I loaded the next patrol and still not there. Exited the game (saving while still sitting at the dock), checked the crew_config_(saved name).cfg file, and he's listed there as being in NRComp 7. *grumble* Thank you for the idea though, it's appreciated
I even tried moving another officer around using this method. Didn't work. He stayed right where he was.
