Hiring Officers & Sailors

_Seth_ · 01-18-07, 04:41 AM

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.

Never noticed this before Seth

...My understanding is that you can only enlist crew that cost zero renown if your renown balance stands at zero :hmm:

_Seth_ · 01-18-07, 07:05 AM

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'

:rotfl:

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

: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:

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.."

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.
