How to Recruit Crew Members in Starfield
Want to know how to recruit crew members in Starfield? When you’re ready to go it alone on your ship, you can add additional people to your crew. These crew members may be found in bars and other gathering spots across the Settled Systems, with larger cities like Akila and Neon having more potential recruits.
Your first crew member is VASCO, Barrett’s robot companion. However, you can only recruit additional crew members after escaping the New Atlantis Nucleus. You can start by looking for them in the UC capital. You can play Starfield without formally assigning crew members, but they won’t contribute to the ship’s capabilities unless you manually assign them.
Recruit Constellation Personnel
Constellation personnel are those who come from the organization’s ranks. They have special skills that can enhance your ships and outposts when actively assigned. For example, the scientist Anais can improve research capability and the mechanic Rosa can boost mining production speed. However, you can’t assign these characters to tasks if they’re on another ship or outpost.
Recruitable Characters
In contrast to Constellation crew members, recruitable characters offer greater benefits. While the rest of your crew won’t contribute to ship and outpost capabilities unless assigned, these additional characters can bolster your ship and enhance your outposts by themselves.
Unlike Constellation crew members, you can recruit as many of these characters as you want, so long as you have the credits to pay for them. Recruiting fees are one-time payments, and you’ll earn credits over time so you can afford to hire more people.
