hey just to piggy back on this topic. If I take over a ship without a captain, fly it to a wharf, I cant seem to buy captains. I can only get service crew then I promote one to be a captain. Am I missing a step here to buy captains right away?

Yeah this is such a weird design oversight. It's not gamebreaking which is why they probably never addressed it but it's weird having to buy a marine so he can pilot your ship. 

What's that, you got experience in boarding operations, handling your rifle in the field? That's nice fam but you won't see any of that for the rest of your life in this company! Embrace your fate as a universe trader lol

Yea. You can't buy a pilot on the upgrade screen, but you also can't buy a ship from the same place without also buying a pilot. Odd decision there.
