More than one crew member of the same type?

If say you have 2 engineers, does your ship repair faster? Or 2 weapon ops, do your weapons perform even better than with one?

You can not have 2 crew members of the same type!.....

Well, that's not entirely true. I'm not sure how it happened, but at one point I had 2 science officers for some reason. I hired an engineer, weapons op and science officer, and then I checked their pay later and had 2 science ops and no weapons ops. I chalked it up to me accidentally hiring the wrong guy, or maybe it was a glitch. But that's what I had for a short time.

It also begs the question of why a lot of ships come with a standard configuration of 5 crew slots, since to my knowledge, there are only 4 types of crew.

Or maybe you guys are just messing with me and don't want to share that you are all running like 8 weapons ops and destroying stuff.

Dont know about first one but usually the 5th may be (just my opinion) for the ppl you are taking aboard and taking to some far far away system to get paid, and you might take all 5 to aboard, easy money so to say

You have 5 crew slots because one of the slots is to transport a passenger, and the other four are for your 4 crew members. So you could have had one of the same crew member accidently in your transport slot!....

:P

Right on. Thanks for clearing that up.

As a side note....you might lay off the winks and tongue sticking out emotes if your answer is not sarcastic.

You have been a great help in answering all of my stupid questions, and I am absolutely very appreciative. You answer everyone's noob questions, and that takes time and effort. You don't have to do it, but you do. So I can't say enough about how much help you have been in figuring things out.

But this is afterall, the Internet, and I have played many games where people would outright lie to keep an advantage. So you can understand my skepticism a bit when you follow a definitive statement of fact with "wink wink, nudge nudge." Sorry I doubted your sincerity.

It is not a tongue sticking out it is a "laughing face" and winks can be other than sarcastic.

May I beg to differ, Sir Maars. 5 crew slots = 1 pilot/you, 1 engr, 1 weps, 1 nav, 1 sciops. Check me please. Passengers ride in the hold.

I know what you are trying to make me say, and you are correct, it is all relative......
