The Point of having 100% crew

[DominickSolerix]

Crew. What is it? What does it do? What stat does it affect? We all know that power affects aiming. But what does crew do? It would make sense if it affected moral somehow, but does it? Is there any point in adding crew to your ships at all?

It does nothing. A ship with 0 crew operates as good as other ships.

wait so i can just let my people die and nothing happens?!?

I always thought it affected morale. Like ships with less than 100% crew would take more morale losses and take longer to regenerate morale. What the ♥♥♥♥ do you mean it does NOTHING??? That'd be a gamechanger, for real.

Actually the greatest minds of our community have spoken on this matter and the game is currently finished, so crew definitely does something.

Less than 100% crew, less efficiency. At substantially depleted percentages you'll start to notice things like ammo reloading slower, etc…

Also, 0 crew = dead ship

seriously does crew do nothing? Why bother?

Okay, I understand that if you had like 20% crew or something, but where is the threshold that the loss in efficiency is substantial? Can a ship with 80-90% crew function the same as a ship with 100%?

I've only ever heard that low crew affects ammo reload speeds and that is obviously false. You can test for yourself in the editor. It has no effect at all on ship performance.

Losing crew in battle will deduct from the honor awarded but actually having the amount of crew that is "required" in ship building is pointless. You would just be playing along, basically.

Dev himself said that the crew is unfinished part of development and currently doing nothing in the game. End of story.

As with most things when it comes to this game. Why isnt this an Early Access title?

[Halfman]

Seriously? It advertises as finished, but there is so little information and it is broken like this?

Tested my 100k ship.. and with 18% crew his weapons reloads the same speed as with 100% crew.. ♥♥♥♥.. I always builded ships with 100% crew... its disappointing

Losing crew does effect XP from the battle, so building ships without crews could prevent mass loss in xp?
