Officer caps on other crew?

According to privateer, it won't be easy...

It won't work.

The commands as to what files to use are hard coded for the most part.
If you use a hex editor,
open the SH3.exe file.
You can then search for POS.
Bump through the file and you will see all file/directory calls.

If you files don't match those calls?
Guess what happens?

The game ignores them.

Outlook not so good.

Yes, the edited files are as follows.
In the data\Cfg folder for the start of a new campaign & in SH3 Commander\Crew\Realistic\data\Cfg folder for random transfers:
crew_config_II_1.cfg
crew_config_II_2.cfg
crew_config_II_3.cfg
crew_config_IX_1.cfg
crew_config_IX_2.cfg
crew_config_IX_3.cfg
crew_config_VII_1.cfg
crew_config_VII_2.cfg
crew_config_VII_3.cfg
crew_config_XXI_1.cfg
crew_config_XXI_2.cfg
crew_config_XXI_3.cfg
Hope this helps.
