Giving us new ship fitting parts (since id treat crew almost like a ships component when it comes to any bonuses we would get from them). <br /><br />RP wise it makes sense that a capsuleer might be able to solo fly a frigate, maybe even a destroyer. But even a superhuman pod man wouldn't want to run the systems of a cruiser or bigger by them self. The maintenance requirements of those ships are not things a capsuleer should worry about, thus crew come into play, even if said crew doesn't need to be as large as a non-capsuleer run ship. Not to mention some tasks just can't be done without a physical body in the ship, capsuleers are stuck in their pod.<br /><br />Capsuleers are demi-gods to the plebs of the worlds, it kinda makes sense that some might want to serve as crew for them. <br /><br />You are right about one thing, having a crew does seem like a different kind of game, which is why id rather see it as a component style thing rather than something more intricate and out of place. We capsuleers would merely hire them just like we buy ship components on the market, we buy get better crew if we want to pay the ISK/LP points. Maybe some capsuleers earn a crew through faction stuff.dharhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306004181898116382noreply@blogger.com
