The crew system is highly under used

Why go through collecting so many people when you always only get to take 2 and you can do nothing with a majority of them? The game strongly leans towards building connections but nothing comes out of most. I was hoping for more expansive contracts that would of felt impossible without most of the crew present.

This game is so easy already, it would have been ridiculously easy if you could bring more than 2 crew on a contract. The whole idea is to strategize who you bring with you based on which skills you think you're going to need to have to round out yours. My only complaint about the crew is that you could only use them on contracts, and sometimes it broke my immersion when I felt like one of the crew would've clearly pitched in if the game didn't lock them in their bunks.

Obviously contracts would need to be extended but as of right now there is little to no point in having such a full crew story wise and gameplay wise.

Yep, had the same thought. I expected to get harder contracts to use more of them at the same time.

Yeah, the frankly tiny number of contracts really put me off. You can barely use everyone once with how few there are. And outside of Darkside, they all play the same
