I hope this is a bug. I assume it is the aegis system, but god DAMN thats expencive.

Same problem and missing Crew when Upgraded from 2.11 following the readme. On first starting got a warning log that the command was disabled and no crew avaliable and the missing text file from the Old 2.11 version Hired Gunner crews upgrade.

Thank you - these "Bonus AAA #1 Super Happy Bonus Fun Packs" - nah prefer Plug-Ins - are the business.
Been looking forward to this one almost as much as the Patrol Script.

You mean imaginary invasions. Ive never found one

Oh no, the invasions are quite real, I've done around 5 of them so far, but even with all the money from these (I only do one at a time) I still have lots of stuff I need to buy before I can afford this luxury

Need to build up my UT fleet too - I only have 7 of them

I have not tried the Aegis system and gunners yet, but when looking at the costs:
-Finding personnel is a real big pain
-Aegis is a very expensive upgrade
-Personnel is quite expensive in salaries
-Personnel takes up 3 cargo space per unit. A fully manned M2 will cost you 3* ((6*15) + 50) = 420 cargo units

This stuff better be real good.

The AEGIS system isn't needed to take advantage of the gunnery crews. It just provides extra features.

So we can hire gun crews without having to pay the 54 Million?

No you pay 54 million initially. Then you can choose either normal gunners(1500 each) or Aegis gunners(3000 each)

Do I have to start a new game for this to show up?? I've installed it and no aegis to buy and no crew to find. I've never used this before but I even tried the upgrade file reven had. No luck! I shouldn't have to run the script editor and start it that way do I? I realy don't want to do that

Correct, Not for signed scripts.

Heh .. nm .. found out what I was doing wrong .. it defaults to install in the egosoft directory .. I bought mine in canada and the install directory is enlight. Ignore me dumbness

Meh. No doubt this was a *hell* of a lot of work. Unfortunately the last thing I want is to make my ships 8 billion times better than anyone else's. The game is already too easy as it is IMO.

Now if the AI also had a system like this, that would be a tough nut to crack and no mistake.

Then all we need is for carriers to be able to multi-launch and then they may actually start being effective!

Anyone used this on an M6?

you do not have to buy aegis and pay 54 million initially. there is only one kind of gunner

ennokT · Post by **ennokT** » Sun, 12. Dec 04, 22:47

well it's installed properly now .. and I bought the aegis system .. but where do I get crew from? I heard it's from argon prime trading station or omicron lyrae trading station. I've been to both but there's no crew there. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to give them some time to stock from when I install it?

Now I'm confused...

Umm .. wow!! I still haven't found any crew but I decided i'd go play in x472. Jump in and start jumping and weaving around the 4 k's that were close by trying to get one seperated from the pack .. manage this and get in close with my gppc's and gpsg's blazing .. and the K i'm attacking switches to ghepts and starts pummeling me! I managed to kill it but the hepts did some nasty damage to my hull, time to go find an invasion mission in getsu fune after that 30mill hull fix. Sure I could reload an earlier save.. but live and learn I always say!

I've never seen this before the gunnery crew patch! Looks like those K's might be just a little bit harder!

Just trying this script now...

Spotted a "Transport <T3/0-3" military transport ship carrying 100 Military Personnel heading for the Ringo Moon Trading station while flying through Home of Light. Ordered my carrier to jump to Ringo Moon & send a TP to dock with the station while also landing there myself. Quite dissapointed when the Transport ship docked and it's 100 on-board military personnel equated to just 5 available for purchase & said transport is now empty.

Don't know if this is a slight bug unless 95 were bought up in the 2 seconds it took for me to go to the purchase menu after the transport docked.

The other odd thing was that when this transport left the station it just disappeared & there was no Jump-Drive fitted, bizzare.

Oh well, guess I'd better keep searching...

Scoob.

carl - i was half wrong

I was wrong about the prices per gunner

I was right abput not needing the 54 million, apologies khanis

note that as well as personnel shuttles, there are munitions transports buying missiles for capital ships... unless this is just "sugar" (this is a Reven script so I doubt it) that leads me to believe there may be AI capital ships that are a bit smarter now...
