Crew Memembers???

OK, what's the deal with crew members. It seems that skill + loyalty = 100

so is it that if your gunner has 10 skill and 90 loyalty he will slavishly attempt to help you hit your target but will constantly fail and if he has 90 percent skill and 10 percent loyalty he will hit the head for an extended smoke each time there is a firefight and be of no use?

did I get that right?

If you hire a crewman that is less than 95% loyal they may jump ship at the next port so I always save before I dock if I have crew I want to keep so I can reload if they do jump. The skill level and loyalty should both be in the 90's for best performance and retention and you need to pay alot. It is hard to find good people in and out of the game (lol) but you can find them by exploring and visiting lots of planets and stations.

Only if you pay him to little of an increment otherwise a loyal crew member should not jump ship! Unless the human waste filtration system of your ship is broken and they can not stand the smell and the engineer refuses to fix it because you are not paying him enough! LOL:P:P:P

I talk to myself all the time...they will all jump ship the first chance they get.

Thanks for the answers though.

I managed to get a crew member to 100 / 100 took some time and [aying him / her a fair amount of money, only problem was, when I switched to a military ship I lost the crew member, is there a way of keeping a crew member when you switch to a military ship?

No, there is not, but sometimes you can find the crew member back for hire in the sytem or station nearby where you switched ships. Or drop them of at the nearest station, remmember that station and then when you want them back next time they might still be at that Station. I got back some of my crew that way! Except for the Navigator who went out the Airlock! LOL:P:P:P

Navigator went out the airlock for a quick smoke...makes perfect sense. Bet he knew exactly where he was when it happened. LOL.
