Merchant Marine: Smaller Crews

ID: 2856946970
Using Base Id of: 26000

Merchant Marine: Smaller Crews contains the FireFly Gamestyle Mod components for the Merchant Marine Mods for Star Traders Frontiers.
The mod increases ship officer capacities and increases component officer capacity.

This mod doesn't require the main MM mod.
The Main MM Mod (https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2539177784) will make the experience better.

This mod modifies components and therefore needs to be run after other mods that modify components.

The mod increases the officer count for each ship by 1/3 * (crew size - 6). Its recommended that the player keep only 6 crew to play within the spirit of the idea. Ship components have their officer capacity multiplied by 2.5 and then rounded down. Weapon lockers and Medical compartments are given 1 officer capacity if they originally had 0. The new game crew creation logic is unable to understand these difference, so you'll need to add officers and rebalance crew sizes yourself.

To Play the FireFly Style Game, you should limit yourself to only using 6 crew. Merchant Marine increases officer capacity on ships, but doesn't reduce crew capacity. This allows the player to choose how much they want to limit themselves without additional mods. There are four Starter Ships prepared for the FireFly Style Gameplay, the Corvette (Mission Running - Rank C), Stilleto (Boarding Combat - Rank C), Quillion (Orbital Missions and SmallCraft - Rank C), and Isabel (Great potential, poor start - Rank C).

• Skills A: 10 Command, 10 Negotiate, 3 Tactics
  
• Attributes B: 30 CHA, 30 WIS, 20 RES, 14 STR, 14 QUI, 14 FOR
  
• Contacts C: Politican, Prince, Smuggler, Spice Trader
  
• Ship D: Corvette (Modded Longbolt)
  
• Experience E: Commander
  
• Faction: Your choice
  
• Map: Default v2

You start the game drastically under-skilled and under-crewed. You have 10 officer bunks and 6 crew bunks. You'll need to fill those officer slots by recruiting and promoting crew. You can technically add a Crew Barracks and fill your ship with an additional 18 crew, but that defeats the spirit of the mod. The crew cap was not lowered in order to allow players to play with "original" crew/officer counts if that what they want. As your crew gains experience, you'll want to give your officers second and third jobs in order to keep your dice pools high (A single level of E-Tech gets you 4 Electronics Ranks). The largest problem isn't going to be dice pools, but Talent counts. You won't have as many talents available in STF, but you will get higher level talents faster. The Corvette is setup to be a mission runner, so start out by doing Earning your Charter missions and then look to start working for a contact of your choice. Your dice pools should all be over 100% by the time you finish these early mission.

This should fill your Corvette's dice pools by the time you get to level 7 (possibly sooner).

• Captain: Commander/Diplomat/Smuggler
  
• Doctor/Combat Medic 5/1
  
• Quarter Master/ Commander 5/1
  
• Engineer/Mechanic 5/1

• Pilot/E-Tech/Navigator 5/1/1
  
• Crew Dog x3 (crew)
  
• E-Tech x2 (crew)
  
• Navigator x1 (crew)

You can replace your normal crew as your officers gain skill ranks. Remember to keep 2-3 skill saves for deep space events.

• The Longhaul engine is not the best engine if you are going into combat. It now produces only 6 RP, so you are limited in how much you can fire weapons and move.
  
• Many of the Combat hybrid crew jobs are more viable in your combat teams.
  
• Morale and Crew damage will be higher than base STF.
  
• The Engineer provides a very potent escape from combat talent at Rank 8. It can bridge the gap until Skip off the Void.
  
• For the Stilleto, you'll want to replace E-Techs and Navigators with Pilots and Pirates.
  
• For the Quillion, you'll want to get Military Rank 1 and $40k to buy a SmallCraft. You'll also need someone to fly it.
  
• For the Isabel, you'll want to be careful starting out and plan your upgrades.

• Doctor/Combat Medic/Spy
  
• Engineer/Mechanic/Scavenger
