"Role-play oriented cargo" with an in-game additional perk purpose

[nOmnomnOm]

Perhaps...
But initial idea is that there is some crew on your ship that would be working to buff that specific thing. Dunno

What makes this system work is that there needs to not be a "go-to' set-up. If you have a jump ship perk and it will only be used for jumping ships and the people wont want to use other perks rather than the jumping perk, then it is a dry perk to have.

But for example... if that jumping perk would be decrease your scanning radius... that would mean that you have a disadvantage to jump away from some threat until they are really near but you can jump faster. This make is so that the Jumper now has to decide if he wants Jumping faster or radar scanning as his perk.

Basically what I mean by all of this is that to have a balance in this the ship needs to have more than one option to consider and not only 1 option that is considered the best. They can ofc just not have a crew buff at all and fly like usual too.
