31 31  Each ship has a limited capacity to accommodate crew members. On a ship, the captain is by far the most important crew member: their ability affects the quality of the ship actions the most. A good Captain is capable of more maneuvers, fights and trades better, and unlocks new standard behaviors for their ship. The Service Crew are no less important for a good ship: they improve the ship's capabilities: controlling, aiming, trading.. **and repairing!** Everything gets better with a skilled Crew! The overall quality of the ship's crew is improved with the number of crew members and experience level of each crew member.

Anyone you employ, whether it's through the shipyard, through buying via the [[ship upgrade interface>>doc:Purchasing And Upgrading Ships]] or through direct recruitment on a station, can be deployed in any position (captain, service crew, marines, managers). This means, for example, you can use a marine as a service crew or an engineer as a captain or manager, whether temporary or eventually permanent.

1 +The more the merrier, I personally have a full complement of service crew unless I aim to board something. Service crew on M ships and above contribute to repairing your ship and hence more service crew will be able to repair your ship faster. Additionally, the number of turrets has no real bearing on how many crew members you need as your turrets' efficacy isn't impacted by the amount of crew you have.

1 +Why are there no stats about at what rate crew gains XP, for what they gain XP or even better what each level of proficiency actually does other than basic behavior patterns.
2 +How much does crew actually increase capabilities, how much do they repair ships, when do they repair ships (conditions).
3 +
4 +Also there are factually wrong things here. Crew does not increase trading profits, it has been disproven via experiments however they DO increase mining profits significantly.
5 +\\Why are so many game mechanics such mysteries that we need either dataminers or extensive researchers for. Why cant even the official wiki have all of those things? I usually search for stuff on google for X4 because its explained nowhere and if there is something its likely outdated by years again. We need this for troubleshooting the wonky AI behaviors...
