Mod Update Request - "5 Star Crew"
This particular mod is supposed to update your "employees" to 5 stars. But apparently it is no longer compatible with v3.52, even so, in prior versions it only updated one "Skill" per npc. (i.e. engineers would get 5 stars in engineering, but their other skills may have no stars, or managers would get leadership 5, but the other important skills would be lacking, like engineering and management, etc.)

The old mod was supposed to update every time you docked in a station or on a capital ship, but it didn't always work.

Can someone please update or remake this mod to update all 8 "Skills" to 5 stars please for all player owned npcs? (owner="player" page............)

<skills visible="1">
<skill type="boarding" value="5"/>
<skill type="combat" value="5"/>
<skill type="engineering" value="5"/>
<skill type="leadership" value="5"/>
<skill type="management" value="5"/>
<skill type="morale" value="5"/>
<skill type="navigation" value="5"/>
<skill type="science" value="5"/>
</skills>

I'm really tired of having to edit the .xml manually every time I hire someone, or get a new ship, or once I have a large fleet. Even with copy/paste function it can take several hours if you have a lot of ships and or stations.

Also since the new version release, are we no longer able to employ engineers on stations to keep them repaired?

Also could it be combined or added to the yisha hire/fire mod, so she can take care of acquiring new "employees"?

Thank you in advance.

Hey deltaagent26,

There are a couple of mods that increase skills automatically over time or add more ways to get Virtual Seminars, but I don't know of one that does exactly what you're asking for. However, pref just posted a way to do just what you're asking in the egosoft forum:

http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=380072

........
You can get the mods that I mentioned, if you're interested, here:

Earn Virtual Seminars by Completing Missions (Rubini)[forum.egosoft.com]

NPCs gain XP (oliverjanda)[forum.egosoft.com]

Craft Virtual Seminars (oliverjanda)[forum.egosoft.com]

........
There's also a community-maintained list of up-to-date mods here:

edit: forgot to add Rubini's name after the name of his mod. Sorry, Rubini!

@Walker Evans

This is some really great info.
THANK YOU!

Not really sure about installing the "basex-ware" though.
I'm not familiar with it, and I'm very reluctant to install
anything I am unfamiliar with.

However, the information you listed after that looks quite promising.

Glad to help! Basex looks pretty straightforward, but yeah, I was unfamiliar with it before pref posted about it too.
