Crew

Crew is the sailor complement responsible for running your ship. With a full complement, the ship can perform to its full potential, even more with the right upgrades. Of course, losing crew impairs the performance of a ship and if all hands are lost, the empty ship is automatically lost to the enemy.

Necessary crew sizes

 * Each ship requires a particular crew size in order to be used effectively. The player's crew size is dependent on player ranks, which determines accessibility. Skeleton crews don't perform well under any circumstances.
