ok, manfred, browse to your save folders. something close to this:

\Documents\TMO\data\cfg\SaveGames

the TMO might be SH4 or, whatever you may have changed it to if you are using MultiSH.

under the SaveGames folder you will see one or more subfolders, named with eight alphanumeric characters. find the most recent of those as that will be your most recent save. it should be the save between missions, while you are in port.

look for this file ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC.

make a copy of it before going further. select the file name and then Ctrl+c, then Ctrl+v.

open it using a plain text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.

15 or so lines from the top of the file you will see these two lines:

MaxOfficers=12
MaxPettyOfficers=70

Maxofficers limits the number of crew at Rank 7 and above (CPO through LT).
the other parm limits the number of crew above Rank 3 (seaman 1/c).

close and save the file.

for the remainder of this career, you will have whatever limits you enter into those two lines.

if you want to change them again, start at the top of this post and re-do it.

good luck!
