Closed Unstable - July 13th - Crew capacity stuck below intended value

Just popped in to report this, my ship is now a size that's supposed to handle at least 8 crew members (my wife has the same size and has 8 members). I had reached my maximum earlier, didn't have the upgrade modules to upgrade my ship to this size, dismissed a crew member, filled back up to 6, upgraded my ship and still couldn't recruit any more crew. I even dismissed a crew member since I had a duplicate of a class, now I'm stuck at 5 members only!

Any temporary fix for this at least, through some character file editing?

Bump. Made another character, rushed her through story and now I'm stuck at a capacity of three, right after getting a Kestrel ship. Any idea, anyone?

E: Temporary fix found, dismissed all but one crew on second character (after completing the first pixel upgrade by spawning fakelicense1 so that I would have both fake licenses, didn't work by itself, not sure if this affected end result) and then I could keep recruiting normally, at least up to four members, don't have any spare wanting to be picked up right now though.

E2: Got all 12 crew members after dismissing down to 1 member. Protip: make sure you're not aiming your mouse out of bounds when you /spawnnpc, they'll be stuck there forever.
