>Date 38.4: Create Officer {4005} {E'tox-P'to} {602} {Naval Officer - Yes}

A Flagritz Marine (602) has been promoted to officer.
E'tox-P'to is currently stationed at FGZ Cliriq P'to (4005).
Error - Ship does not exist.
This action cost you 1000 stellars


I wanted to create a naval officer for a ship still under constrution.
Is this a bug or is it no longer possible to create naval officers at a Starbase for later tranfer once a ship has been build?

Officers are created from items. If the ship is being constructed, it has no crewmembers, hence cannot have a member converted into into an officer.

Either create one at the starbase and deliver him along with the crewmembers or create him from the crewmembers once they have been transferred.

Looking at Jeroen's post it appears he did create the officer at the starbase - except it was created as a civilian officer rather than a naval one?

Im summary: You're unable to empower a civilian officer while they're stationed at a starbase because you get the "Error - Ship does not exist" message.

Basically it failed to empower officers to naval if they were not on a ship. I have corrected this and it will be in soon.
