18 -Each ship has a limited capacity to accommodate crew members. On a ship, the captain is by far the most important crew member. His abilities affect the quality of the ship actions the most. A good Captain masters more maneuvers, fights and trades better, and unlocks new standard behaviors for your ship. The crew is no less important for a good ship. They also improve the ship's capabilities: controlling, aiming, trading ... Everything gets better with a good 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 can be a captain (if you only believe in yourself). Anyone you gain, 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 all positions (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.
