How can i change roles?

[Rodrigo]

My captain died, and some assistant had to steer, hes a pro helms now, but still flagged as an assitant with the pacifier and all. Can he become the captain somehow?

Being captain doesn't really matter much. Its the skills and equipment that matter.

Being captain matters only if you have lockers or doors that are only accessible to captain. In such cases you can do identity theft by taking he captains ID card and replacing your assistants one with it.

You cannot change the designation of a character after they have spawned in. If you really want to have a captain on board you can buy one from an outpost, but as terve886 said you don't really need one especially if your assistant has a good helm skill.

Sadly, no. It would be nice in a future patch. Raising assistants is fun but not if you have many and can't remember who's specialized in what.

Mostly that, I. Buy assistants cause they're cheap, but as they level up I often mix up who's the gunner, replacement engi or mechanic, etc.
