sense to me that they should be a free asset when you assemble a ship. While
it makes sense that there are countless qualified (or cheaply qualified) personnel floating around in Empire Space to satisfy the insatiable demand for
new crew, the comparatively undeveloped and savage wilds of null security space
make this seem less reasonable. Fortunately, we already have Planetary
Interaction, which can quickly satisfy the body problem from a lore standpoint,
while creating a target for DUST bunnies.
I propose adding a spacecraft crew qualification academy mechanic
for habitable (or colonized) planets in null security space, accessed through
planetary interaction, located in outpost constellations, to be fought over by DUST 514’s mercenaries. Without
academies, there won’t be enough qualified personnel to assemble spaceships
that are packaged, forcing players to assemble their ships in NPC stations, or
capture and/or construct additional training facilities in their outpost
constellations.
What do you think?
