Dose cargo ship & miner need hire service crew and marine?
is that necessary or waste credits?
Re: Dose cargo ship & miner need hire service crew and marine?
Miners definitely can benefit from service crew. Skilled crew will increase the speed they mine.
Not sure what benefit they are to cargo ships beyond repair. Maybe increased responsiveness, maybe faster load/unload times, maybe quicker at finding trade deals, I'm not sure, and the game certainly won't spell out the details. Even the devs seem deliberately silent on this topic, like they think it will spoil the magic or some nonsense if we knew the exact details of how skilled crew help trade ships.
But they do not need to be marines unless you plan to use them for boarding, and even then just keep them as service crew until you need them for boarding ops.

Thank you Creature, I tried, it seems like ships with service crews response more faster.Falcrack wrote: ↑Sat, 18. Sep 21, 06:16Miners definitely can benefit from service crew. Skilled crew will increase the speed they mine.

Re: Dose cargo ship & miner need hire service crew and marine?
There was a reply (moderator or dev) giving some information on crews: service crew give a boost to the ship`s performance while marines are used for boarding.
NPC ships will not try to board our ships so marines are only needed when we want one of our ship to board other ships. So most of our ships should be using service crews. But how many? That I have not see a reply to.
