@RPG_Rascal - can you list other mods you have active and their order? We can try to reproduce.

trying to view the talents for my doctor officer has been crashing my game. I don't know if its conflicting with another mod or if this mod just needs updated. my game now crashes in ship to ship combat now too when i try to see my talents. anyone else having similar issues?

Now if only there was a melee xeno hunter

It's a nice example mod :)

Launch the mod version of the game and then you'll see a list of all downloaded mods in the right side of the screen. Clicks activate and then restart the game.

apparently I'm not sure how to activate mods for this game. I've got a couple subscribed but can't seem to find where to activate them. ??

Check the doc because it lists what each field is for. For professions, option1 and option2 reference the trait ID of the profession specific Traits.

@Trese Brother i'm confused at the option 1 option 3 part of the values,i know 2 is from the doctor id and 2000 is to create new id for captain class right?

Sorry, we had a Twitch VOD of me creating this profession but it was lost accidentally :(

If you pull down the mod itself and look at its internals, you may find it is not that hard.

Also, definitely see the full documentation on modding jobs / professions:
https://startraders.fandom.com/wiki/Modding_Jobs_and_Professions

or maybe post a tutorial on how to make class mod so we can try to make our own captain from existing base class,sorry if sound demanding

pls add sniper profession as starting class too

thanks so much for the quick response. creating a new template was indeed the missing link for me! I see why you folks are so admired as devs. cheers!

@esilver - you are missing the step of creating a new template. Sorry, the mod only enables the profession it does not provide new templates. The 4 starts are the basics ... you can make endless variations from there.

Pick one of the 4 starts you like, click "Copy" and then use the up/down arrows to re-organize your starting priorities and click on the priority buttons (A), (B), etc to make changes in each category.

So, create a new template, click on the priority button such as (A) next to Experience and chance your profession to Doctor (or any other!)

Hope it helps.

noob issue inbound: subscribed here and enabled in mod-friendly mode. when selecting new captain, only the original 4 starts are available. disabled other mods - still same issue. verified mod files were in the right place in the workshop content folder. the wiki mentions sql files, but there seems to be no activation flag...

only ever played unmodded; is there a step I am missing or a file that needs editing to get this to work? am I misunderstanding what it does?

Thanks @Aleccia and @Thaxor ! Updated the mod with fixes and a new slogan

Ahh nope :) I need to post a bug fix!

Is it intentional for the doctor to take bleeding damage every turn? lol

Thanks for the catch, will fix!

Found a bug whilst digging through this to learn how to make my own.

The description says +2 for Fort, Wis, & Resilience but there is no bonus to Resilience. Also appears to be a +8 to bleed damage/defense(?) bonus added to the Mortality Known trait as well.

I'm learning things!

Thanks fixed!

Why does this mod not have the Profession keyword?

This is awesome. Perhaps add it as part of the official game in a later patch. :D

Lol love the extra quips especially the middle one!

Always thought a Doctor starting captain was a strange admission from the game. Glad to see this added.

Random suggestion: Flavor text ("check the bandages") suggestions (things that physicians commonly say)

"Remember your ABCs" - refers to Airway, Breathing, Circulation
"They're not dead until I say they're dead" - Doctors are the only ones that can pronounce a patient dead in a hospital
"All bleeding stops eventually" - self explanatory...

Great mod!
