Boss Loot weapon duplication

[ulyssessword]

If you bring your flagship's required crew to 1 (such as by installing androids) then try to upgrade a turret that requires a crew member, it will:

1. Fail to remove the turret (because your required crew can't be 0),
2. Give you the upgraded turret anyways, and
3. maybe fail to install it, putting it in your cargo.

thanks for the feedback :)

sounds like an unfortunate but expectable bahavior. unfortunately i cant solve that with current ES scripting because i cant read the current amount of crew that is needed for the ship to work. i can get the base crew needed, but not after the subtraction of crew by outfits.

i m sorry, live with it? ;)

Maybe try:

1. Try to remove turret
2. Check if turret was removed
3. If it was, remove the nanites and give the new turret, if not, skip with an error message

but yeah, it's not a serious bug. You can always sell the leftover turret if you don't want it.

the check if the turret got removed would take lots of scripting, loops over loops. ok i ll put that on the list. i need to find the motivation to fix that, so dont expect a fix soon :/

If the problem is crew, make an outfit that requires 100 crew, and increases crew capacity by 100. Unless the ship's crew needs are -100 or more, this should work?

[ulyssessword]

You don't even need the extra crew capacity, IIRC. There's nothing wrong with having more required crew than available bunks (except for the ship moving erratically). There is even a damaged Korath ship you can capture down in Remnant space like that.

Adding and removing that outfit between steps should work for all vanilla weapons.

Now that I think about it, when I experienced the bug I didn't have the crew situation described by OP.
What I DO think happens, is that the new outfit extra equipment states are different from the old one.
Namely, the new Remnant EMP launcher (The tiered versions use a different ammo, while the vanilla one uses the original EMP torp as ammo), and the Wanderer missile launcher (tiered versions have less ammo capacity).
