Salient Solutions - More Crew

[[This mod is still in testing, ymmv]]

The goal for my 'solutions' series mods is a Vanilla+ like experience.

This mod adds more crew to the stations in the game.

[ALL STATIONS]
Increased amount of ALL crew types by ~20%
Increased the amount of available security and boarders by ~20%

[BIOTOPES]
Added 50% more standard crew (thanks to Cy for suggestion)

[HABITATS]
Added 100% more standard crew

[SMUGGLER]
'Should' always have boarders and pilots
Added 25% more security and boarders

[FIGHTER FACTORY]
Added 25% more pilots

[MILITARY OUTPOST]
'Should' always have generals, captains and commanders
Added 25% more pilots and gunners.
Added 50% more security and boarders

If distance to the core is over 360, smuggler and military bases will have a flat bonus to boarders of 15-20.

military bases 'should' no longer have sergeants and lieutenants. This is due to the limitation of only having 5 free slots to play with, and i'm using 3 for captain, general, and commander. This will up the chance the last 2 free slots will be something more useful like gunners etc. Since standard crew can become sergeants and lieutenants, its a lower priority for me. That said I've bumped up the chances to find them at shipyards and repair docks by a small amount.


----KNOWN ISSUES----
Note that if you have any other mods that make similar changes to hiring crew it may cause issues.

While military outposts 'often' have command staff, every now and then they don't. looking into it, but it may be something i cant fix.

[RESOLVED] There is a small bug in vanilla where if you found a station, you get the general probabilities for crew instead of specific station probabilities. This does resolve itself on sector reload. However, I made some changes, and now it works correctly.

[Useful tip by LofiAspect]
For those that have problems with this or ANY mods that run on servers, if you get this error:
Requires version 1.0+ and its 0.0

That is on your end (Your PC). Meaning, you most likely used the mod in the past & unsubbed. But, never truly removed the mod from steamapps/workshop (Manually deleting the mod).

Even re-subbing won't work. You'll have to manually remove the mod, then hop on back to your server. It will begin to download & install the mod.
