A stead is only as good as the hands that keep her in the skies. Some micromanage every detail, while others let their mates handle the load. Whether you're captaining a Boat or commanding a Plex, your rep is the sum of your Crew, and its their debts that make all the difference. From manning the bridge to patching the hull, a reputable Crew keep your operation running strong.

If indentured nor crewbots are to your liking, then take on a good 'ol hired hand. They've got instincts, fears, and limits. A crewmate's Gut is the measure of their mental and physical state, and changes with the tide. If you push them too far, they'll break. Keeping crewmates together isn't just about paying a wage, its keeping them sane, safe, and the will to stand by you when things go south.
Out in the Black, a one-trick pony won't last long. A crewmate's Grip is their hold on a profession, and the best hands tinker in more than one trade. A Pilot might double as a Mechanic, while a Tracker could have a knack for Quickdraw. Aim for crewmates who pick up the slack, and if they can't learn new tricks, leave 'em behind. While there are a flood of skills being conjured up for a crewmate to a get Grip on, here are just two examples worth noting.
Use the toggle below to switch between just two examples of the many Grips for Players and NPCs to master.
The Cred Track measures a crewmate's personal standing with a Boss, their Crew, and the entire faction. The Cred of your Boat or Plex is the sum of your Crew. Having overall good Cred means guaranteed work at diamond rates, but bad Cred and things dry up, risking you a landlock and price on your heads.
The Folklore Track measures a crewmate's personal standing with a Town, its World, and the entire ring of space. The Folklore of your Boat or Plex is the sum of your Crew. Having overall good lore means local statues and cheap rates, but bad lore and things go south, risking you a good ol' fashion mob and rapture.
