Lost Ships Replacement - Phantom Crew Revealer

Image

In X4: Foundations, the Lost Ships Replacement feature was introduced in version 7.50.
This feature allows the fleet to request a replacement ship if a ship is lost during the execution of an order. The replacement ship will be requested automatically, and the fleet will continue to execute the order.
However, when you enable the Lost Ships Replacement feature for a fleet, the replacement ship will come with only a captain/pilot in place.

At least, only the captain/pilot will be visible in the ship crew information tab.

In reality, there are some other crew members on the ship. This extension fixes this issue and reveals these "phantom" crew members on the ship.

Compatibility

This extension is compatible with the following versions:
  • X4: Foundations version 7.50 and later.
Limitations

This mod "reveals" only Service crew and Marines on the ship. Tested on 'S' and 'M' ships.

This mod only "reveals" the crew members on the ship, i.e. sets the roles for the crew members. It does not create/modify any crew members.

Download

You can download the latest version via - Steam client
Or you can do it via Nexus Mods

Usage

Simply install the extension and play as usual.

The extension will automatically reveal the "phantom" crew members on the replacement ship when it arrives.

From version 1.0.2, the extension will also reveal the "phantom" crew members on the replacement ship when it is already in the fleet.

Reveal "phantom" crew members on the "existing" replacement ship

If you have a replacement ship in your fleet and you want to reveal the "phantom" crew members on it, you can do it manually.

To do this, simple select the ship and communicate with it captain.
