📋 About This Mod
This is a very simple mod that adds the amount of crew you can have when ranking up the Ship Command skill from 4, 5, 6 and 8 crew members per rank to 6, 9, 12 and 15 per rank. This mod is not retro-active, you must rank up the Ship Commander skill at least once for the additional crew. If you are rank 3 and rank up to 4 then you will have 15 crew slots available (again if you can get a ship to 15 crew). Simply install with mod manager.
Will conflict with anything that alters the Ship Commander skill or adds crew to you.
This mod will work well with my Cockpits and Crew Habs Rebalanced mod! (It adds 1 more crew to top tier reactors so ships can have 15 crew)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: more crew from Ship Command, no bloat.
- Decent community support with 277 endorsements and 12k downloads.
- Lightweight and unlikely to conflict with other perk overhauls.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one perk, so if you want broader crew changes, look elsewhere.
For Starfield players who max out Ship Command and still want a bigger crew. If you're tired of being limited to a handful of companions and want to fill your ship with more hands, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive crew management overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple perk tweak, you can install it manually by dropping the file into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex is safer for easy uninstall.
- If you use other perk mods, load this one after them to ensure the Ship Command change takes effect.
- Check the mod's posts tab for any user-reported compatibility issues with the latest Starfield patch.
