📋 About This Mod
This mod alters the Ship Command perk to allow you to have 5 more crew with each level, up to 28 crew max. This is so you can recruit most of the named elite crew members and get to know them, without having to cheat with a console command. This mod also edits habs that increase crew capacity to more effectively add crew stations on your homeship.
Note if installing to a game save where you already have the ship command perk.
The change probably only fires at the moment when you increase your perk rank. If you already have the perk leveled up you can console
player.removeperk 002C53B3
That will remove the perk entirely
then you can console
player.addperk 002C53B3
however many times needed to put yourself back to the rank you were on.
This would also be necessary even at ranks 1-3 because you wouldn't be able to have enough crew to complete the challenges to rank up further without doing this.
