Crew

Crew members for your ship are mainly recruited by spending Rank Points. Increasing your ship's crew will help you in raiding enemy ships, and also help defend your ship from enemy raids. There are 4 types of crew members as outlined below.

Contents

Engineers

Each Rank Point spent recruits 2 Engineers. 1 Engineer will increase your maximum Energy capacity by 1 point.

  • Cobalt Drive adds 3 engineers to your crew when its ability is activated.

Engineers have no effect on energy recharge rates. To increase your energy recharge rate, build Relays.

Engineers take up no ship space whatsoever and have no upkeep cost. How and why they work so frugally is a matter of much debate. But it gives a good reason for considering using Rank Point for Engineers instead of for increasing Decks for expensive energy modules.

Tactical Officers

Each Rank Point spent will recruit 2 Tactical Officers. 1 Tactical Officer will increase your Attack by 1 point.

Helmsmen

Each Rank Point spent will recruit 2 Helmsmen. 1 Helmsman will increase your Defense by 1 point.

  • Taltherian Def-Opt adds a variable number of helmsmen to your crew, based on the number of defense and shield modules online on your ship at the time of use.

Scientists

Each Rank Point spent will recruit 3 Scientists. 1 Scientist will increases your hourly Research rate by 1.

  • Each Q-Pedd Assembly Line adds 1 (or 2, for later versions) scientist to your crew when its ability is activated.
