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

[evanz]

I like this idea of actually putting “crew” on a ship, you’re not just role playing you have crew, you really do have crew!

Reminds me a little of Elite where you couldn’t launch without a certain amount of crew. that would be interesting, if say different types of ships needed a certain amount and type of crew before they could launch

for snubs obviously the only crew needed is 1, yourself, so perks wouldn't apply, no bonuses, its just you

but say if you had a battle trans, of say 12 turrets youll need 12 gunners for each, etc etc

Then perhaps, when you sadly get popped, escape pods of those crew get jettisoned adding to more role play in “getting them back” etc etc
