This patch makes it so that crew members now require skills in order to obtain followers for tasks, the initial starting point will be that all officer types lack the ability to have followers and can accrue skills to do so.

The concept is to create a sense of value and progression for the officers - starting as green officers and progressing into wolves.

New Skills and traits have been added:

Weapons operator - Allows Radio Officers and Engineers to man the deck gun and turrets

Auxiliary Radio/ Hydrophone training - By default Leaders and Engineers are now at 10% performance of a normal radio operator for using the hydrophone and radio. (subject to change/balancing) . this skill bring the value back up to vanilla (33% performance):

Authority - Allows for 1 follower for officers
Improved Authority: allows for 2 followers for an officer
Excellent Authority (Leaders only): allows for 3 followers.

Restrictions on some of the Action Items such as receiving missions, recruitment, using specific stations (subject to change / balance)

New Assets and Descriptions for Scenarios (incomplete - as some scenarios may switch vessel)

New Pricing and Stack Limit changes to Food

Version 0.7.3a
Adjusted Price of food

Version 0.7.3b
Save compatibility fix
Adjusted Ship rewards to be higher to help match cost of items
Imported missing Skills Assets
Rebuild Silhouettes (still missing Benson and Revenge Class)
Adjusted some action group requirements to allow sailors npc interaction rather than just officers
Added Historical Crew Names to Campaigns (unknown officers left as generic title / must be changed by player until accurate names are found)

Version 0.7.3c
Fix for missing Assets
Adjusted the price of Ship Entities to be based off historical size of the vessel, the crew size, and tonnage (if applicable)

Version 0.7.3d
Fix for invisible Authority Skill

Version 0.7.3e
Version A049 fix to bug with giving Authority Skill (using wrong code class reference) Added Locals Data for Ports
Added Special Thanks Ships

I'm not able to use any of my crew at the beginning, I am only seeing two on duty and none of them appear to want to do anything but observation.

Which campaign are you loading
Is this a new campaign?
Have you tried clearing cache and Datasheets in the AppData Folder?

Could you share an output log
and maybe an image.

It doesn't seem to matter what campaign I choose. I am doing U-32 right now, but it had the same problem on U-50. I just cleared cache and datasheets to no avail. Here are some images of the problems. https://imgur.com/a/9my5BXB

Can you also provide a copy of the output log.

I have a partial fix to some of these issues.

As far as the inability to assign sailors to officers I am still looking into the cause

Still unable to resolve all the bugs with overall sailor management UI but the functionality works for promoting and adding skills, and gaining followers. the issue is more of a UI bug with the Crew Management UI and clicking the Add Sailors Assignment to an officer.

I read your mod description again and could it be, that without the Authority skill no officer can have sailors assign to them? Is this true, I play my new campaign till the point I can get the Authority skill and see if there are the same problem as mentioned :)

That is correct the Authority Skills add additional followers for officers
You should start with 0 without the skill. this is intended.
