I still use this mod, and it is an integral part of my gameplay.
Started using it back in 2020, during the good old times when crew transfers could only be done through one ship docking to another or ships docking at the same station. Back then, I relied on it to transfer crew to my capital ships.When Egosoft changed the game mechanics for crew transfers, the shuttle ironically became even more useful. I use it as a recruitment ship by docking the shuttle at equipment docks, hiring new crew members, and then instantly transferring them to another ship. A clear example is that I prefer Segaris Pioneers crews—they have a cool uniform. This way, the ship docked at their equipment dock gets a crew without needing to undock, and I can easily transfer them to the target ship without travelling trough the half of the galaxy. I also utilize the shuttles as rescue ships when they sit at strategic stations with the "Dock and Wait" default behavior. If I experience a hull loss, I simply select the ship and click "Rescue People in Range." The shuttle automatically collects the stranded crew and returns them safely due to its default behavior.Overall, this is a very useful mod, which is almost ironic since it is just one XML line replacement. I wanted to let the author know that someone definitely appreciates their idea and the work they've done!
This worked perfectly thank you. Ive spent some time looking how to change the ship stats of other vessels and how i might do it myself but ive been unable. My goal is to change the crew capacity of the Nemesis to 35 but i really dont know where to start or what i would need,would you be able to make this file like you did for this mod?
I have searched through the egosoft forum and modding briefly but couldnt find anything directly connected to this change or changing ship stats,i will keep looking. By posting here im hoping if i cant find out how to myself you might have the time to make the file for me.
Good mod. I wondered why there were no real shuttle buses; but you are right this could be used as a boarding ship.I might even try that when it's not being used to ferry pilots that missed their ride.
If you do make your own version, don't completely remove the cargo space. Reduce it, but leave some room for the passengers luggage.

I know its excessive but some boarding actions im doing are using 150+ marines and im curious how easy it is to edit things like this
can change 21 to whatever at <replace sel="//macros/macro/properties/people/@capacity">21</replace>
in ship_arg_s_trans_container_01_a_macro.xml
(content.xml is for the description in the extension menu)
