I've got a crewmember with a space in his name. I've talked to several
other players with the same situation. We could hire the crew with
the space, but now its impossible to train them up, or even fire them to
rehire crew with no spaces. Someone please look into this and come up with
some way to let us promote/fire these crewmembers

I haven't looked in the code, but my best guess would be: try using an
underscore instead of a space in that name?

^o^

That does not work. Here is what i have in "crew list cannoneer"
Faris cee (cannoneer): rank 4, perfect condition, male
pre desc: none, post desc: none, special

I've tried: crew remove cannoneer faris cee
faris_cee, "faris cee", 'faris cee', fariscee, fariscee1, fariscee2 etc,
up to 9. Every time I get hte message
There is no crewmember by that name on board.

So if some kind wiz could fix it, or just delete the damn crewmember
from my ship, would be groovy.
