How to get new Officers?

[mr_right4u_2002]

I've noticed that when you start the game you can recruite new officers and keep them in your "pool" but thats about it. Once they are hired no new ones pop up ever. It sucks as I'd love to get an extra engineer to do the HQ missions. This would allow me to keep my 2 current engineers.

OK. I know how to get an EXTRA officer on the ship. But at the recruitment guy at the docks you can recruit officers. They show up once and never again. New crew/officers don't seem to get "refreshed". Unless I'm missing something.

You need to gain reputation, then ask a favor to HQ to have 6 officers onboard

[Faenithil [ita]]

you have to do some mission and earn reputation.
When you have enough you can spend it to first officer at port

At the first run of the sandbox there is a engineer you can recruit, also for HQ missions and one radio officer. Untill jet, not seen newonce.

would ne great if the "market" for officers refreshed frequntly... also an idea i had was being able to send "normal" sailors to officers academy at a certain level...maybe... just an idea... :)

I got the same problem, no new officers appear. There are just some radio officers aviable and it wont ever change. I want to recruit an additional engineer and at least one more leader, but nothing :(

The port of La Rochelle doesn't seem to restock its aviable items, either. So I couldn't get new shells for my second assignment. I also bought all the remaining torpedos, hopefully they will replenish when I return for my third sortie.

Ok, so I just found this out: Sometimes, when you recruit a new crewmate (ofiicer or not) there is one added to the list. The one that is added to the list is random! So if you save before you talk to the guy and recruit one, you get a chance to get an officer... if not, reload and retry... like 10 times or so........ I didn't say it wasn't annoying but it works.

I just don't know what triggers the new one being generated. My guess is, that you need a port where you never recruited someone (the list has to be full) and a special event that gives you one more recruit. (Maybe when you gain a lvl)

TLDR: You can get new recruits and when the list is full. they will be generated at random when you recruit one. Save and reload until you get an officer.

Wilhelmshaven has a leader and an engineer, Kiel has 2 engineers and 3 radiomen.

There are several ports you can check out.

FOR LAZY PEOPLE ONLY: Open Console (tilde) copy and paste the Teleport command from the list to your destination -

Teleport 46.1932 -1.20815 Outside La Rochelle Port
Teleport 44.10415 9.84162 Outside La Spezia Port
Teleport 60.4068 5.2742 Outside Bergen Port
Teleport 54.33636 10.16928 Port of Kiel
Teleport 53.50884 8.132637 Port of Wilhelmshaven
Teleport 68.97664 33.03889 Port of Murmansk (neutral and nothing to do but visit :)


BTW - These coords place you LITERALLY IN the docks. Just in front of the slip you should use. Steering the sub around and getting into them is your problem.
