i've just installed the plugin, and found one of the transports, but how do i hire the personnel?

X2 S&M forum has a thread about it. The 'Bonus back readme' talks about it too. You can see where the transport is heading. Actually, if you are not in the same sector with the transport, you see it more clearly. Get a transport and send it to destination. If lucky, you will get 100, and that uses 300 cargo units. Most likely you will see 1 in the station inventory just when the transport lands, and even that disappears shortly. It is random how many show up as 'free'. You do not 'hire', you 'buy' from station.

If you have the money for a trade station or equipment dock, add military personnel to the list of products and set a BPH freighter to buy. They shold collect all the crew you need in an hour or two.

Try capping the ship - last time I got 36 of the 100 on board - bit of a hit to the Race Rep, but that's easily recovered.

do you need the "cargo life support" upgrade to buy & transport these military personel? or just use a TP ship (ex Argon Express)?

You don't need it, and you can use any ship

this is completely wrong!!!!!! i have a EQ dock and i put one personal in the EQ dock and when i try to have ANYTHING buy it, buy ware for best price, BPH, or commity (haha) it wont add it. and it wont add it to the station in the way NPCs see it!!!

what am i doing wrong???????

and im confused on the amount of crew a titan needs???? is it 20 a turret? or 100 total?

i have military personel as the single ware in my eq-dock next to the trading station in argon prime with a BPH iguana to buy and i have more than i know what to do with
i just set the iguana to buy and off it goes

i dont think egosoft intended for them to be bought in player owned stations so they wont appear in some menus

your titan will need 90

Military Personel are a "special" mission type of cargo (TWareN). This is why they don't show up right in all menus. This is also why you can't make a factory by normal means to produce them.

would that explain them slowly disappearing when i use an 'add ware' script to put them in my destroyers

If I remember right, if you put more than you are using, they disappear. So that is probably what is happening.

no, i wish it was that, i fully maxed out 4 destroyers with everything including aegis and added 90 personel
they are now down to 70 each and the action stations turret command comes back as none

very frustrating

That's very strange. 'Add ware' should add them just fine.
Try getting rid of the ones you've already added and using 'install ware'.
The only thing I can think of is that add ware isn't registering them as being really in your cargo bay, and so the remove code is taking effect and trimming them.
Other than that, all the usual stuff, are you sure you have the latest version, etc.
Cheers.

cheers burianek,
i was thinking they might not be getting seen properly and i am going to try putting them into a TS and then transfering them back onto the destroyers and see if that helped
if it doesnt then i will try install ware and see if that helps

cheers

putting them into a TS and then transfering them back again cured the problem of them disappearing

and once i went into sector i got the action station command come up
