Starfield Ship Crew Guide. Here's How it Actually Work, Probably Not What You Think.

hey there fellow Space Explorers today we are talking about the ship crew as I was not able to find answers and cheap crew is more important than any ship component you can equip it does so much more but before I talk more about the crew one very important crew member and where he can be fined because those questions will appear for sure so we are going into chain system Planet Aquila Aquila City and we are running straight into the Aquila City we'll be talking with the companion they usually hang out around the bars and that's the rule like Papa that's the rule across everywhere so there it is a Hitching Post you go into the Hitching Post and you can find him over there I can see him already he's hanging out somewhere here not always in the same spot now now it's sitting can you stand up can be a little bit annoying but you need him to ask me Omari Hassan could you please speak with me hello there top right corner did you just come from the Spaceport this guy has to offer Shield systems three stars and that's extremely important that there are there is three stars on that and one Starship engineering so we want to recruit him if you're stuck with him you pay him for Recruitment and you can use persuade to get him cheaper like it can drop the price by half if you successfully persuade or you can pay straight up whatever he's asking you to pay I accept now in order to do any modifications to your crew setup you need to be parked on any Planet it cannot be space station you need to be on the ground and now trust me I will do everything I can to make this guide compact I'm doing what I can to only share important information as it cannot be found anywhere so when you open your ship tab that's my current turtle one on different characters and usually I was trying to have some fun stealing ships but that's different topic now on the left hand side you can see the stats of this ship crew of six and how is it determined two factors are being taken into consideration Crustaceans that comes from habitats and cockpit that you have installed as well as capacity from like weapons like if I hover over a weapon system it will tell me crew capacity 1.5 so those are two different things they need to align whatever is lower will determine how much crew your ship can handle so I don't know why is that but it is like that weapons have usually 0.5 capacity per weapon then engine has some crew capacity then Shield has crew capacity and yeah that's about that some special items can have crew capacity so we need to combine them now normally without a perk you can have free crew members and actually it's four but I don't know why there is one crew member that do not count against the limit ship command is the fact that you can take to improve your crew capacity the crew on the ship offers you perks and those are not the same perks although similar to what you can take let's take for example Shield systems Shield systems from Omari Hassan is freestyle Shield system if you open your own skill tab you will find the same skill and a lot of people think that he's just replacing a need of taking Shield systems perks it's absolutely not the case his shield system spec is different like yo gives you 20 increase Shield than 40 then 60. the companion one the crew member one is different the crew member gives you 10 then 20 percent and on rank free it's give you boost to The Shield this extra green bar I will show you that in space in a second and what it means for you extra green bird on the shield as well if you find a companion with piloting it absolutely doesn't replace your piloting skill you still need piloting to Pilot class c ships the companion piloting increases your maneuverability your speed and gives boost to your engines that's how my ship is able to fly so fast that's not my piloting that's the companion the crew member piloting I do have Engine Systems but only rank one so by myself if I would not have a crew my ship will be going 190 something speed it's going way faster I will show you back to the crew tab the most important crew members you can have if you change those stops that there are some crew members can be assigned to outposts but we are interested in ship I have three at this moment and that's supposedly my capacity but if I go back and I want to assign Sarah Morgan I can Sarah Morgan is type of special crew member she doesn't count against the limit so limit is free but you can have four without upgrading perk Sarah Morgan doesn't count against the limit I don't know if that's a bug or intended but she does not count so what they do you have a Barrett that gives you Starship engineering skills so he will be fixing your systems when they get damaged and boosting your damage with particle beam weapons then we have Omari Hassan that gives you extra help though to your systems and overdrive to your Shield's power then we have some that gives you piloting which boosts your speed maneuverability and give you overdrive to your engines as well as payload which give you 20 percent capacity increase for stuff you can store on the ship and you have Sarah Morgan that gives you astrodynamics which reduces your fuel cost when you travel so your range of travel is higher you can go further and it doesn't take any spot so it's free then we have Vasco and most of those members are basically constellations so you take them from the lodge if you want them free only Omari Hassan you hire and I was looking around for other useful companions I mean crew members but I'm struggling to find anything good so I don't know if you know some good crew members and where to find them please let me know Vasco this is a little bit tricky topic as Vasco is again Shield systems and it shouldn't stack with Omari Hassan only the best one should be used when you have two crew members with the same skill assigned but Vasco when he's assigned together with Omari Hassan it's causing a series of bugs from time to time so it either reduces your total Shield or increases your total Shield again and if you have Vasco and Omari Hassan and then you increase your own skill The Shield skill here Shield system you start upgrading that when you have both on board it can back out positively your Shield systems but I don't know if you want to rely on this bag and it can go either way if if something goes wrong it can reduce your Shield system so it can go either way and I end up once with over 5000 shields on my ship because I upgraded Shield systems another character and I had Vasco with Omari on my ship so you should be aware that there are backs with this stuff whenever you're trying to trying to reassign and change a lot of crew members it's good to have a safe it's really good to have a safe before you do that now in space so you can you can see better what's going on so now if I take a look on the map look how far I can travel and how little cost it is 200 fuel consumption across the map that's thanks to a crew free crew and now in the space if you take a look on the left hand side on my energy levels like engines and shields you can see this green bar on the bottom the green bar appear because I have crew member with piloting so my engines are boosted and I have crew member with shields Rank 3 so my Shields are boosted so my Shields go higher than what I can even see on the shift up when I open the ship tab if I press h on the keyboard so it's 1800 but that does not include additional boost this extra bar that I do have and speed as you can notice I'm cruising with the speed of 257. it's thanks to companion without a companion my speed will drop by about 50. that's a huge difference going by 50 slower that's a huge difference it does affect top speed on the Boost too so that's how my ships even the mid-range ships like this is not very end game this is like a mid-level weapons that can be built around level 40. so this ship is not even total end game ship and it concludes with this speed have incredibly powerful Shields improved cargo capacity reduce jump fuel cost and so on so crew is like the most important and it does stack with your own skills so it's not a replacement it's addition the one thing I do not really like is that there is no explanation what exactly does what it's not possible to click on that you can only see when you assign them to the ship they highlighted on white those are the skills that are affecting your ship in some way but there is no way to figure out what is the effect and effect is not the same as your skill so only way I know about figuring this stuff out is testing with a crew member and without a crew member to see what the difference will be and the difference is huge and that being said this is all you need to know about the crew at least I hope this is all you need to know if you have questions please drop them down in the comment section I will try to answer or if necessary research this topic further and at the end I would like to say huge thanks to all of you that subscribe to my channel and drop those likes I truly appreciate that so thank you and see you in the next one
