9 crew members on ship ?

[Kriss]

i have full 8 named crew members (only Vasco as story npc) but still i can add Sarah.
do these main story npcs not count as crew members ?

Sarah has a leadership skill which basically makes her free as it adds 1 crew slot to the ship shes assigned which she then takes up. Or it basically makes her cost 0 to have on crew.

Vasco does not count (They stays in the landing bay)

So you can add 8 crew + Vasco + one companion.

(Sarah's leadership means nothing, since the cap is 8 anyway but if your had not maxed out the skill, then is does help)

Are you sure? Vasco do count, if not count then it's bug, I do test couple time.

For me, Vasco never counted, but would make more sense for Sarah not to count due to her leadership skill (but I do not have her on my ship, cause her comments annoy me)

I will have to retest.

What crew do you guys use?

Andromeda Kepler (Aneutronic Fusion 1)
Dani Garcia (Energy Weapon Systems 1)
Erick Von Price(Astrodynamics 2,Payloads 1)
Ezekiel(Energy Weapon Dissipation 2,Shield Systems 1)
Gideon Aker(Ballistic Weapon Systems 2,Missile Weapon Systems 2)
Marika Boros(Particle Beam Weapon Systems 1)
Moara Otero(EM Weapon Systems 2)
Omari Hassan(Shield Systems 3)

+ Vasco for me (but will see if that is a bug)
