Crew Training

[Mirsin]

In a save not to long ago, a crew of mine was, well, incompetent to say the least. The kitchen burning on a regular basis was the main hobby. It has been along wish to be able to train my crew to a higher standard. Here is my idea as to how.

Skill level should be able to go up to 5. Zero still being no experience (or not interested) in the field, 3 being the highest you can start with, with 4 and 5 skill level being relative to how many times they have completed a task. The last two levels would increase productivity and allow the crew member to train a fellow crew. Level 5 being more effective at it.

For example. A starting crew member with a level 3 Botanist would become better at their job over the course the next 100 days. This would make them better and faster at it, making them a level 4. A level 1 could follow them around (neglecting all other duties) for 10-20 days (or a set number of botanist jobs have been completed) to learn from them and become a level 2.

Same can be done with Mining, Construction, Industry, Medical, Operations, Navigation and so on. Eventually, given enough time, you will have a good crew. Or at least enough training to help fill any gaps in job requirements.

I've also stated before that crew skills should have a matching set of positive and negative traits (1 positive to 1 negative or 2 positive to 2 negative). A crew with positive traits of hard working and quick learner with negative traits of wimp and anti-social for instance. Hero and slow learner. This creates a balance people can live with. As with most other players, the crew with the clumsy trait who burns down the kitchen is most likely to be left behind.

put an space suit locker in the kitchen but yea i think training is planned for eventually, i ignored space suit locker for a while, it has its purpose tho- in the kitchen- the crew avoids the heat, and if shuttle is away, they have no space suit access to deal with the fire automatically

And that works to the point you need them all over your ship. I have minimum 2 in my industry areas.
