Disable Max lvl 1 NPC Recruits

[Roteck 2]

My players and I are getting very annoyed with the max amount of NPCs we can recruit without leveling them. Currently we can only recruit 5 NPCs from the recruiter per grid. No more recruiting can be done for anyone on the entire shard until those 5 are leveled up passed lvl 1. Is there an ini setting that turns this feature off?

There is no ini, this would require a mod. And as far as I'm aware it should be 10 level 1's per grid, that's what I've always known it to be. 

I get around this by using the atlas shop api and selling crew there, that's the only way I've been able to get around the limit as it basically admin spawns them once bought from the shop.
