Faster Crew Leveling

Description
Status for 7.60: still working

What it is
A very experimental and simple boost to level up rates for most crew skills.

This mod aims to be a simple alternative to seminar mods and increased crew level mods.

Skills should level up a LOT faster compared to vanilla, probably to the point of almost cheating. Any and all values are subject to change at any time depending on feedback or which side of the bed I wake up on.

I'll maintain this mod as long as there's a demand or until a better alternative is available either from other modders or egosoft themselves.


Changes in more specifics
  • The chance of gaining a skill level has been massively increased for most activities. It was next to zero in vanilla.

  • Piloting, management and morale hard caps have been removed entirely. Even a bad trader can theoretically now reach 5 stars.

  • Morale rate for service crew is now the same as for pilots.

  • Engineering and boarding rates remain unchanged.

  • Most likely very unbalanced right now.


Answers to common questions
How do I activate it?
It activates automatically after you install it.

Will this work on old saves?
Yes! And new games too!

Is it safe to uninstall?
Yup! This mod will not mess with your saves!

Patch X.XX broke your mod!!!!
No it didn't. :) I run in-game tests every patch release, and every patch release the mod has still been working as intended.


Tips for leveling new crews
  • Use S-class miners or traders for leveling, like Couriers or similar. They level up a LOT faster than M-class ships.
  • Always fly with a co-pilot! The co-pilot of the ship you're flying will gain levels when you do stuff.

Their mod page does explain the differences between their mod and this mod (and also Learning All The Things), so I figured I need not repeat themselves.

@Vectorial1024 No worries but you should probably mention how it's different. It does the exact same thing as this mod, just with slower leveling. It's somewhere between this mod and vanilla, and there's certainly interest for that.

Also, the mods are incompatible. Use either this mod or that one.

Not trying to dismiss the work of the author here, but recently there is a new mod Crew Skill Leveling Revised on Nexus Mods that also deals with crew leveling. Perhaps someone may be interested.

@edenxfund Yes. It affects all NPCs, not only your own.

Disabling it for AI factions is out of scope for this mod.

its work for AI ?

自分以外の日本人プレイヤーに向けたこのmodの仕様の推測です
恐らく与えられたタスクを完了したタイミングで経験値的なものが付与されるようです
作者が小型採掘船をお勧めしているのは一回の採掘、売却の間隔が狭いため、
経験値取得速度が速いからだと推測されます
また、経験値式ではなく一定確率でランクアップの可能性もありますが、
めんどくさいので検証していません

Ran the tests, and surprise surprise! The mod still works! :)

I think this mod is obsolete until updated for now
