Note that companions have unlimited ammo as long they have 1 bullet in their inventory. So give them your strongest weapon and 1 bullet and watch them rip the enemies apart :)

Make sure to unassign all crew members assigned to your ship before doing the Mantis quest. If you have more assigned crew than the Razorleaf has slots for, your excess crew will disappear from the game completely because it's bugged.

Simeon is lost to the void in my current playthrough because of this.

5:15 Not true. Most of the companion skills are VERY DIFFERENT from your own, even though they have the same name. They add benefits to the same system or game mechanic, but in a different way. For instance: YOUR piloting skill lets you fly ships with bigger reactors. THEIR piloting skill basically increases your turn and braking abilities while you're flying the ship.

I’ve never paid an RPG
But I’ve Gotta say this is without a shadow of a doubt, the best game I’ve played
The depth of the game is amazing.

I liked Andreja, she was less sanctimonious than the others. But certain events transpired...A good ship crew member is Andromeda Kepler, she gives you 1 extra unit of power which is sweet.

[SkySweeperSyn]

5:18 So what is the point of the crew skill then? What benefit is it giving off if it's not active unless I have it myself anyway? I'm so confused and frustrated by the lack of clarity with this system.

[yosharian]

5:27 you are talking about Outpost Engineering but showing the Outpost Management skill. Also, it's not entirely clear what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that as long as we have Outpost Engineering rank 1, Heller's Outpost Engineering rank 4 will activate and thus we don't need to get that rank for ourselves? Does this bonus only apply to the Outpost she's assigned to? Does it have the exact same benefits? So many questions here, I would have liked to see this explored in more detail.

Crew abilities in general are really poorly understood at the moment and I just don't understand why none of the YTubers with EA are explaining how they work in detail.

[janowid]

Not a bad vid, but you didn’t actually mention any “mistakes” to avoid like the title suggested. You just gave a basic overview of hiring crew and how to sort of maximize the experience.

[JasonJoestar]

I want the Red Dwarf crew assigned to my ship. Lister the space bum, Cat the egomaniac, Kryten the cleaning droid and Arnold Judas Rimmer.

[maloobrvo]

They need to make the bounty Hunter on mars companionable/ romanceable.

[tooldtoplay]

I would love to know who designed this game mechanic and how they thought it was easy to understand.
Even knowing now that you will get the buff but not the unlocks means you have to go through several screens to check what that is when anyone with half a brain would give you a little bit of information on the crew page like when you hover over the skill it says "Gives 20% extra ship laser damage" or whatever.
But no they make it so you have no clue what the stat is then make you search the internet for some sort of explanation and even then its not 100% clear, there are a few systems in this game that could be done a lot better including building ships or outposts, replacing parts of your ship is clunky and outpost building is not explained very well and as such I have only replaced some parts of my ship because starting a new ship is to much like a full time job and my outpost is doing something but for all I know I have to keep going to the planet its on to see what its produced or if the storage is full because there is no separate screen where you can manage them.

It's still a good game but so many things are clunky and not well done it's like its average at all parts and good at none.

[mihu]

Andromeda Kepler... oh Bethesda :D This is why Rockstar and BGS are my favorite studios. Small things like this that make you smirk

[lawdpleasehelpmeno]

Are the ship crew skill bonuses cumulative with your own?

[ashamahee]

at 05:47 in the video we see two shield systems being highlighted at the same time as if they are both active, do they stack on each other or does the ship only get 1 instance but of the highest level available? So in that case would the ship have shield systems level3 or shield 3+2=5?

[alistairthomson]

You've really helped me on outpost creation. Stacking modules! My outposts have been sprawling interconnected 2D messes up to now.

[gingerboy]

So I am confused? So speaking of Heller. He has outpost engineering 3. Can I not use him to research things? I have him assigned to the outpost and in my party and it’s not working.

[mattdivoooo]

I will say on the outpost engineering. After I put a crew member with the skill there and unlocked the skill. I noticed my some of my research would automatically finish allowing me to save on one or two material requirements for each research.

[Tihamatt]

There has to be secret companions like curie from fallout 4, because frankly speaking it feels like the amount of actual companions compared to fallout 4 feels very lacking

[twistau]

Since your sponsored by Bethesda and all, how about making a video detailing which crew skills actually work, and what bonuses they give, because the majority of people are reporting that they either don't work at all (for the majority of skills), or work inconsistent to the description in the skill.

[solitaryangel]

I followed your advice and got a guy from Akila (Imari Hassan), who added shields...and every time I jumped into a system my ship energy would pull from my shield and dump them back into the energy pool which was so annoying that I researched it and found several people had the same bug from crew who buffed ship sections. Engines, grav drive, weapons and shields were always getting rebalanced after jumping to a new star system. Some weird Bethesda bug.

Removed the crew member and the shield bug stopped happening. Now I have no crew and the only thing I get is the one pip on grav drive is dumped back into the energy pool. Since Imari left the ship my shields stay exactly as I left them and I stop shouting at my monitor and my blood pressure doesn't go through the roof.

During the Constellation questline I went to repair the Eye with other Constellation members but I had sarah as crew, again based on your advice because she does not count as crew for some reason. There are 4 tasks on the Eye and one is given to you by Sarah...who wouldn't get off my damned ship and give me the quest. A bit of research and found that you just head to some tool in the centre (No not Vladimir...an actual tool) and the quest moved forward anyway but still, if she had a quest there then get off my damned ship and give it to me, Jeez bethesda, you really know how to fuck up the simplest things...it's a scripted event and you can't get it done.
