I got fooled.

I claim a refund!

I had to pay workshop ours and to buy and sell 2 times equipment (with a 20% loss each time), due an info bug on the car info panel.

With 20 bulk left, it says there are 4 seats free.
If you fill in the bulk with equipment it switches to 0 seats.

Regarding statement at Jake's:

Quote:

*Each additional gunner and passenger requires 20 spaces and

it is supposed that bulk is provided for at least a driver in the car.
This is not the case.

Send a personal messsage to The Paranoid Tourist

I've had this problem too. The 20 bulk is accounted for when you build a new vehicle, but not when you're revamping it. You then have to save 20 for a driver and/or 40 for a driver and gunner. The same thing happened to me with my Combat vehicle and was a pain in the butt to fix.

Hmm yes. Things changed when I was working on squads and up to 6 characters in a vehicle, late last year. But you're right there is an inconsistency.. I'll see what I can do..

edit: OK, I have made it so if there's no characters in a vehicle then the 'install/remove components' panel lists an 'unspecified driver' at bulk 20.

edit2: I've also made it so the 'spare seats' listing on your vehicle record sheet only shows the number of seats that you actually have enough storage space to take characters in.

Thanks for fixing that Sam.
I have a comment:

Quote:

Empty seats: 1

should better be
additional seat(s):

because with the pick-up for example:
unspecified driver
Empty seats: 1

when adding a driver:
driver #1
Empty seats: 1

It's confusing.
