Officer limit adjusted by skill total
« on: December 09, 2022, 11:39:24 PM »

 Sorry if someone already came up with this.

As I was thinking about Support Doctrine, I realised there is a potential for a middle ground between the skill and the usual state. What if there was a skill that changed the officer limit from the usual personnel count to 'by the total amount of skills'? E. g. instead of 8 officers, up to, say, 32 officers could be recruited, limited by the total amount of skills in the officer pool.

Do you think the idea has a merit? I can imagine it would take a lot of work. If it's worth it, the benefit should be a potential increase in fleet variety beyond the usual anchors+frigate support build type, especially among wolfpack builds.

Sounds interesting. It would definitely need to be a capstone ability.

It could also make for a great reason to remove mercenaries from the game, which would be amazing.

The only issue would be grinding out and paying so many officers.
