✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,450 endorsements and over 67k downloads.
- Simple, focused addition—no overhaul bloat, just crew capacity.
- Craftable selector gives you control over the active crew cap.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only adds modules and a selector—no other gameplay changes, so if you wanted more depth, this won't deliver.
For players who want to run larger crews without juggling multiple mods. If you're a ship builder or fleet commander looking to expand your crew, this is a direct solution. Skip if you want a full overhaul or if you're on a newer game version where compatibility is uncertain.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's page for any required dependencies or load order notes before installing.
- If you're using a mod manager, use it to install to avoid manual file placement issues.
- After crafting the Max Crew Selector, test it on a small ship first to see how it affects crew management.
