CANT RECRUIT 4TH SQUAD MEMBER

[khurzon]

SO I AM TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A MATCHING SQUADRON OF SAIL SHIPS. I CANNOT JUST RECRUIT THEM FROM SPAWN OR REPEATED SPAWN VIA SAVE EDITOR BECAUSE YOU CANNOT RECRUIT FOR SQUADRON IN THE OUTLAW STATIONS. SO I HAVE TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE SAIL AND TAKE IT TO A NON-OUTLAW STATION TO RECRUIT IT TO MY SQUADRON.
THIS HAS WORKED FINE RIGHT UP UNTO THE SECOND TO LAST AND THE LAST MEMBER OF THE SQUADRON. IT GOT GLITCHY WITH THE THIRD MEMBER NOT WANTING TO SHOW THE RECRUITMENT OPTION AND I WOULD JUST WIND UP TRADING THE SHIP BACK TO ME.
SWITCHING RACES HELPED WITH THE THIRD GUY BUT WHEN IT CAME TO THE 4TH MEMBER I COULD NOT GET HIM TO OFFER THE RECRUITMENT OPTION NO MATTR WHAT I DID...AND I TRIED EVERYTHING

I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO GET MY THIRD MATCHING SHIP INTO MY OPEN 4TH SQUADRON SLOT!!!

HELP ANYTONE???

You know you can zoom in on webpages, right? There's also a bunch of options available for those with poor eyesight or colourblindness.

STEAM SHIFT/TAB

You typing in all caps might make it easier for yourself to read but that makes it harder for literally everyone else on Steam to read. Which results in more frustration and less solutions.

So just a tip - don't type with caps lock on if you want answers. Speaking of answers, I don't have a solution for you mostly just because I can't be bothered to try and read your original post when it's all caps.

So open the webpage instead. That's what most of us are using.

I have poor eyesight and I can read everything here just fine.

Don't tell me you read stuff word by word. You're supposed to read line by line which is way more efficient. Shouting/caps makes it a lot harder for your brain to process the information.

To answer you question for ones and last.
Go to the Freighters management panel.
The panel closest to the captain has your answer.
You gotta unlock every single place you wanna use but to be honest is does not do anything for you.
If you get atacked by pirates your team mates show up to help but I still have to see the first kill they make happen.
So this option in the game is useless.

on a side note. You can also promote your squid members wich is as stupid as the help they give.
Every single counter you see goes up inclusing the kill rate they have............pointless.
Sins when does any mititairy member that gets promoted gets a raise in the kills he/she made?
They have to do that first.
So even the formula sucks.

Steam settings can scale text and icons to match your monitor (requires a restart).

I would avoid using the save editor as it can corrupt saves in unexpected ways if you are unsure what you are doing. Squadrons are quite new and I don't think the mods have quite caught up with the recent updates to the game yet or at least been tried and tested for several months to be reliable.

Youtube has some information on what you want to do.

Also any good graphic designer would explain that CAPITALS are far more difficult to read than Upper and Lower. Especially as endless capitalisation make the eyes tired and especially when reading and scrolling quickly. Fonts matter too.

Originally you could make the squadron all of the same ship...but one of the subsequent hotfixes nerf'd that.

The game now seems to require that the 'ship AND pilot race' combo be unique...but as there are only three races you're now gonna have a problem recruiting the 4th.

The way around (..i've not tested this) might be to find the same ship with a different seed/name...exotics would be best for this as there aren't many different models so finding two of the same type (via NMS coordinate exchange) shouldn't be a problem

...or just give the 4th a golden vector and call him the squadron leader Lol

Thank you Guyver8 you answered my question without insulting me, and the same for you Johnny in the Clouds good ideas and decorum. I had to use a magnifying glass to read both of your posts, but i found what you had to say worth the extra effort. I am sorry for those of you who are overtaxed visually by all large letters and made your complaints the only contribution to my dulemma....
having well over 3k hours and playing since Beta I am used to solving problems myself, but this particular one really stumped me and you cleared that up Guyver8 Thank you Sir. and thank you again Johnny in the Clouds much appreciated.
May the planets rise up to meet you, and may the lamp of Truth guide you between the Dark Secrets of Forever.
Fare you well Travellers....Always.
