My understanding is that when you hit the CoAS quest, you loose... well, everything. It is further my understanding that you can mitigate some of this by storing 5 ships at port controls, with one officer each, to save up to 5 officers for when you resume your Carribean pillaging duties.
So... what happens if you have more than 5? Are the few over gone for good, or will you be able to recruit the officers again once you track them down? Further along these lines, if you fire a unique officer (such as Blaze or Beatrice), will they begin showing up in Tavern's again, or are they gone for good again?
I just remember the horrible AoP days when officers were horribly bugged and there was a finite amount in the game...
Additional issue... I'm playing CMV 3.1.5. Just ran into some unique officers from my last game, and while they were rated as Hero's in the last game, they are now Shark's as far as reputation goes. Is the reputation of the unique officers (Beltrope, Beatrice, etc.) generated randomly whenever your game begins, whenever you meet them in a Tavern, whenever you talk to them, etc.? Or is it a characteristic of the actual character file (and if so, how do you change it?)?
Thanks!
