Elite Crew Reskilled

This is the crew I recruited for my Freestar Collective focused game. Take a look and see if one or more of them can help you out on your next playthrough!

Inspired by the "Reperked" series of mods by Cabram. Check them out too!

Each of these twelve elite crew candidates now has four skills, usually (but not always) an expansion or rearrangement of their original skills. For example, Rosie now has Botany added, to match her backstory as a botanist. The skills will include one rank 4, one rank 3, one rank 2, and one rank 1. Among these will always be one skill that will enhance some aspect of your spaceship.

Each crew member is available in their own mod file, so that you can choose only those that you want. (There's also an All-in-One file if you prefer that.) If you do hire all twelve, you will have maxed out every useful spaceship related crew skill. There's a good summary of what crew skills actually do in this Reddit thread.

As a bonus, none of these crew members will take up a crew slot on your ship, so you can continue recruiting other crew or companions beyond this group, up to your effective maximum crew size.

For many of them, their default weapon has been changed to match better with their combat skills (only effective with a new game). Of course you can equip them with even better weapons if you like. I can testify that Sophia is deadly with a fully upgraded Poisonstorm!
