Default SHO paying real money in a beta?

I just signed up and logged into the SHO open beta today. I ran through the first tutorial mission and was sent back to base. It wanted e to transfer 2 of the crew which means you have to upgrade to two others. You can't do that without gold bars and being only on a training mission I don't have any so I can proceed without goin to the SHOP where they will relieve me of 5 bucks real Monet for some gold bars. What???

Pay ware while it's still in beta? I've participated in scores open and closed betas going back 25 years and never had to pay.

Is this the way this game is structured.

Uplay sent me a coupon which gives me 10 percent off on any purchases. Big whoop....

Transfer to second sub?

Yes manual upgrade an officer to higher rank coast you gold bars, but they automaticly upgrade during gameplay also the rest of the crew,
and there is not so much benefit from higher ranked crew members / officers, they only do their job a little faster.
Gold bars also sum up during gameplay when you complete campaign sections.

I beta-test this game since one a year, I'm at the level-cap of 35 and have never invested real money in it.

I must be doing something wrong and cant figure it out. after in the first tutorial mission that ends with a ship sunk and evading an air attack. you're returned to base. The first page shows the sub then youre instructed to go to the manage crew page. they want you to transfer 2 men to the depot and nothing weems to end that page. the only thing I can see are officers where you can diismiss them or selct a new upgrade replacement. thats where the gold bars comes in. Theres no way to stiick with the cew and officers you have and proceed to the next phase which I thing is armaments or something.

I went thru this 3 times and just have toexit out since theres no way forward or back from the crew management page.

- Go to Officer/Crew tab
- Click on [Manage Crew] Button to open the transfer window



1 - you see there are 2 men in the depot
2 - click on the left arrow to transfer the 2 men to your boat
3 - click on [Transfer] Button to start the transfer

That did the trick. Thanks. A lot of menus and choosing are rather obscure to say the least. Once you do it once it becomes clear.

I ws rather impressed by the whole thing. Its nota real serious sim but has a potential for some good multiplayer setups possibly.
