Phoenix Point YOE - How do I Substitute Recruits into my existing Squad?

[tecknode]

I have tried several ways to get a Recruit into my existing "Multicore" Ship Squad.

My last attempt was to fly back to Phoenix Point Base, Dismiss one member of my Ship Squad, then assign a Recruit to my "Multicore" Ship Squad.

But when I go on a mission the Recruit is NOT on the Mission Squad List.

Please, step by step procedure on how to assign Recruit to a ship so they show up on a Mission Squad List? Don't forget location requirements if any.

You can check a gameplay at youtube.
E.g. ChristopherOdd 57:26
It is an old version of the game but you can see how he recruited a soldier from a haven (you can also recruit someone from your soldier screen - there is a tab with recruits). If you Manticore has already full squad (6 soldiers), the recruit will be instantly transferred to a base.

Your description of what you did is what you should do. Try doing it again, but right this time?

It's completely trivial to check who is on your plane at any time.

Click on
PERSONNEL then, click the little ship icon at the end of the name, then select, either Phoenix base, current ship, or another ship.

that simple, now you need space on the ship and base ( not 6/6 or 8/8 and no living quarters or its not gonna work.

So to put Jimmy on the ship ( need a space or remove one of the soldiers on the ship to a base or another ship) thus leaving a space for jimmy :)

and on the geo screen remember to select the right ship if you have multi, click on the ship icon on the bottom of the screen or the little arrow next to it.


this is a pretty easy thing tbh, but you may be bugged.

If you are looking at the recruit tab in the personnel menu you first have to accept the recruit (button below the avatar) and assign him or her to a base. You can then assign your new recruit to the manticore there.

I've tried at least 5 times, no work. Note I am recruiting from Phoenix Point Recruit List, not by raiding a base.

What you describe sounds very close to what I did.

The new recruit was listed as being on board, but NOT part of my Squad.
How do I get the new recruit into my existing 4-man Squad to make a 5-man Squad?

Maybe make screenshot f12 so one can better see the problem?!

[playornot]

Do you have multi Manticore ships ?
There is also a check box at the end of the name, this also has to be checked.

tbh the best way to see if you're not bugged is to either build another living quarters, or get everyone off the ship and residing in the base, so the ship is empty then start with that guy alone, then maybe go on a solo miss so on.

Ive not come across this issue yet tbh, so many other problems I play for like 2 missions then quit...
