Q: Why can't I assign more crew members to my ship or outpost when starting Starfield?

A: When you start Starfield, your initial max crew limit for both the ship and outpost is limited. For both the ship and an outpost, you're restricted to three crew members. As you progress, you'll need to invest in specific skills to increase these limits.

Q: How do I increase the maximum number of crew members I can have on my ship?

A: To boost your ship's max crew size, you must invest 12 skill points in the Social skill tree to access the Ship Command skill. Further skill points in Ship Command will increase your crew cap, with the highest limit being eight active crew members, irrespective of the actual crew slots on your ship.

Q: How can I expand the number of crew members I can assign to an outpost?

A: To raise your max outpost crew size, you should allocate at least eight skill points in the Social tree to unlock the Outpost Management skill. Investing three more points will grant you Rank 3, allowing you to assign additional crew to your outposts.
