	Some things to consider when hiring crew is what you need and how quickly it's needed. If you cannot afford much, going with a cheaper crew is better, compared to if you need a good crew quick you might have to splurge. One trick used is to hire good crew to train a cheaper one, then get rid of the expensive crew when they are no longer needed. See further below for info on training.

Every crew member comes with an associated [[Agenda]]. Each crew member has exactly one of the four different professions: Geologist, Astrogator, Mechanic, and Pilot.

	Crew members have two shown stats - Education and Experience. They are continuous, but the interface only shows "milestones" of skill - for example, if someone's education is shown as "Self-Taught", that may mean an internal education stat anywhere from 0 to 0.25. Each profession has two skills, each scaling with one of the stats. Crew members also have a mostly-hidden Morale stat, which affects their skills.		== Menus ==
			[[File:Active Crew Menu.png\|thumb\|488x488px]]

			==== Crew ====
			This menu will let you manage your currently hired crew.

			Each crew member will show their name, occupation, education level, experience level, monthly salary, and the in-game date where their salary is due next, alongside their portrait, the button to activate/deactivate them from the current ship, dismiss them from your crew, and if your ship is not full on crew, how their skills affect the general ability they would provide to the ship (red arrows mean they negatively affect it, from a little to a lot, gray means that no stat changes if they are on your ship, and green means they benefit you from your current crew's capabilities.

			The top of this menu provides context to the current ship (excluding total salary), including the number of crew active on a ship out of the total able to be placed on it, (from the pilot): the adrenal slowdown percentage & course anticipation, (from the mechanic): the repair limit of parts and the jury-rig efficiency, (from the geologist): the price prediction accuracy and the mineral discovery range, (and from the astrogator): the tactical awareness range and coordinate tracking time. More info on these is provided in each profession's info later down the page.
			[[File:Hire Crew Menu.png\|thumb\|486x486px]]

			==== Hire ====
			This menu is where you go to hire new crew. There is no limit to how many crew you can hire, except of course how capable you are of being able to pay them their salaries.

			The information shown here is decently similar to what's shown on the section for your current crew. Do note that the arrows still are compared to who's currently on your ship.

			The education and experience stats, albeit just as useful on the ''Your Crew'' menu, they become a lot more important when hiring as it affects how much they charge, and is why it is included in this section. These stats are continuous, but the interface only shows "milestones" of skill - for example, if someone's education is shown as "Self-Taught", that may mean an internal education stat anywhere from 0 to 0.25. Each profession has two skills, each scaling with one of the stats. Crew members also have a mostly-hidden Morale stat, which affects their skills.
